Great to have a spare battery for the devices. The charge time is around 6-10 hours and if you don't have another battery your device is down for that long. When the battery that is in the device gets low I can just swap it out with the spare and it's running again for six months. Charge the other one and it's ready to go when needed.

Just mediocre

I purchased this drone to replace an older model Yuneec Q500 but this was nothing like the previous one and had awful video compared tot he Q500. The camera is not gimbal mounted and most video taken tilts in the direction you're flying the aircraft before leveling out. It has electronic stabilization which doesn't keep up with the maneuverability of the aircraft. I ended up returning the drone after a few day and was happy to pay the restock fee just to be rid of it! For just a little bit more I was able to get one from another company that had full gimbal control of the camera and it was excellent. The Mantis Q may be good for someone just fooling around but if you want to take serious video this isn't the drone for you.

Good system, small and easy to use

I received a Ring doorbell and needed a way to mount something in the house that was stand alone and didn't need wiring. This plugs into a wall outlet anywhere within range of your wireless network in your house and fit what was needed. It does however occasionally drop off the network for no reason that I can figure out. The wireless router is only about 20 feet away from the device and the Ring doorbell is 20 feet past that. The doorbell stays connected well and is further than the chime. I'm not even sure if it actually does disconnect, the phone app reports it as disconnected all the time and I haven't been able to test it when it says it's disconnected. Other than that little glitch it seems to work very well and can be moved wherever it's needed if you want to do that.

This trackball replaced my old MS Optimouse that they no longer make. I have always liked a trackball better than a mouse just for the fact that in a small space I don't have to move it all over the mouse pad to make it work. It is stationary and just my thumb has to be lifted to get the pointer repositioned anywhere on the screen. It is very convenient when you have limited space on your desk.

On my desk I don't have much room and it is so convenient to be able to move the keyboard around at will. It seems to be holding up just as well as any other and I have had no issues with connectivity. The battery life with a couple of AAA batteries is very good. I've used it for quite some time on the set of batteries that came installed int he device. The mouse I did not use due to personal preference because I wanted a trackball device. The mouse however did go to my job and the two of the staff that use it have had no issues with that as well.

I've gotten many of these coupons from Best Buy over the years and when I can use them they're great. I was using Shutterfly long before receiving the coupons and it is a good company to make photo trip books or special photo albums. Wish that I could keep the coupon until I needed it but alas it expires, or does it. This last one doesn't have an expiration date so policy might have changed. The product is great we'll see if I can use the coupon sometime in the future.

These batteries seem to be very good so far. they seem more intelligent than the previous aircraft's batteries and thus they may last longer. I have heard that these don't do past 6-8 months before getting bulgy and bad. Only time will tell but the two I have seem fine at this time. They also seem to last the specified time in the aircraft which is great. With the two I have I can get almost an hour of flight time which is usually sufficient to get some great footage from a spectacular viewpoint!

This is much better than my previous one. The technology has gotten so much better than a few years ago. The Mavic is easy to fly and has great capture of video and still images. The only thing this doesn't have is a dedicated controller that has a monitor built in. That was always convenient when using the previous one I had. I kind of over came that issue by using a capable older phone I had laying around. It stays with the aircraft and the remote in a neat little case and is always ready to go when needed.

With more power and a combination of more channels it takes the load off some of my devices and makes them run faster overall since each devise is competing against each other. Good Upgrade!

Easy smart lighting. Add color to any room with a single smart bulb, which offers warm to cool white light as well as 16 million colors. Use Bluetooth for instant light control in one room, or connect to the Hue bridge (sold separately) to unlock the full set of smart lighting features.
 

When I use the sunset/sunrise routine, it defaults the color to the "white" color, even though I set it to another color. I can't seem to find the setting to keep it the color I set it to when I run this routine. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming since the sun is a big bright white/yellow light the sunrise/sunset mode follows the same colors. I do know that there are several other options for color and ambiance in the Phillips app. I use the bulbs with the Echo so I don't have that capability (it's a limitation on the Echo when you don't use the Philips hub). If you are using the hub and have the Phillips app you should have some other choices of colors that perform the way you want it to for waking and sleeping. Good Luck!

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR~ certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
 

Can this be used to cycle just the fan at a set time period (say turn on every half hour for 5 minutes) just to keep the air flow going even if I don't need the AC or heat? I live in a very polluted area and want my air to be filtered.

It does have some capabilities but it doesn't appear that you can set a schedule as you describe. It appears you only have four choices a day to run the fan in circulating mode (without air or heat). I have found customer service is very helpful (so far) pre and post purchase. I had questions prior to buying the thermostat and they answered in a very timely manner. I have a small annoyance issue (nothing to do with function) and they are checking into that now for me. Good luck!

I currently have a Honeywell magic stat ct3200. Will the current wiring work with the Honeywell home smart color thermostat.

I just looked up your model and it looks like the ones I replaced. My two older Honeywell thermostats were swapped out with the two home smart color thermostats. The wiring on most thermostats is generally the same depending on your system and it capability. There are a couple of limitations about some systems that these will not work on. One that I can think of right now it electric baseboard heat (these will not work with that type of system). You can check on the Honeywell web site for more details and their customer service is very good. They answered my pre-purchase questions in a very timely manner. There are about six different combinations of wiring that you can use with these thermostats. You do need a "C" wire and that can be hooked up in about five minutes usually, my older thermostats didn't have that wire attached. There should be extra wires in the bundle behind the current thermostat and you just need one to be hooked up on you main units control board and you're good to go. I did exactly that and things work very well. Just head the warnings of turning off the units at the breaker before doing the wiring. The new thermostats are awesome, hooked them to the app and the Alexa!! Just be aware there are some limitations in the Alexa skill from Honeywell but you can change the temp, get the temp and a couple of other things, which is all you really need! That's what you would do if you walked over to it and changed it there once it was set up.Good Luck!

I bought a Nest Learning, had it installed by HVAC company, but had problems with heat. Nest support, after a lot of questions, told me it was not compatible with my 10 year old Rheem heat pump system. Is this Honeywell product compatible?

This is a very specific question about a particular unit. I would contact Honeywell customer service and ask them. They were very helpful with questions I had as pre-purchase inquiries. Good Luck!

What happens if you lose electric for a while, will it keep its settongs?

Not sure how long it will keep those settings. If you have a Honeywell account those setting will be held and you can just push them back tot he thermostat when it is operational again. I did take mine off the wall after setting it up to check it on another mount downstairs (that one wasn't working (blown fuse at the furnace) so I was testing) then when I brought it back upstairs it was still set the way I had it and I didn't' have to do anything. It was only disconnected a short time though! Good Luck!

Is it possible to use the App to control the thermostat without having a Honeywell account? I do not want my data on the internet. I just want remote control.

Honeywell didn't ask for anything sensitive to get their account for the controls of the thermostats. It was the usual kind of warranty information. Name, address, etc. If you long on and check before you buy it then you can make a decision prior to getting the thermostat. If you still don't want the account then the answer is no to your question. Good Luck!

How do I install this thermostat?

This question is quite generic. Honeywell packages these with screws and anchors to mount it to the wall. You will need a level to check for level installation and the mounting plate shows you were to place the level. You will need to know your wiring from your old thermostat and have a "C" wire available or a way to connect it at the main unit with wiring that is already present, if not you would have to run wire. If you don't quite get it you should probably call your local HVAC company to have this done. It's not hard but the main control board on the heat/ac unit is sensitive and costly to replace if you make an error. Good Luck!

Hi, can that thermostat work with a two wire

Not exactly sure what you mean by two wire. Is it that you only have heating? If that is the case it will work for your heating system as long as it's a 24V system and you have a "C" wire or are able to get one connected to power the thermostat. You may need to get an HVAC company in to check your wiring before you purchase this. If you have more pre-purchase questions the customer service at Honeywell was great when I contacted them with questions. Good Luck!

how does this unit calculate or measure humidity? I see a humidity display , so there must be a sensor or calc.

The thermostat itself is a bit heavier than I thought it was going to be so I can only assume some of what I see sticking out the back of the case might be a sensor for just that purpose. Other than that you could ask Honeywell. Their customer service was very helpful at my pre-purchase stage with questions i had before buying the Thermostat. Good Luck!

How to change the battery

This thermostat doesn't have a battery to change. It runs off the "C" wire on your 24V HVAC system.
