Compact and versatile

Verified Purchase:Yes
So far so good. I bought 2 of these, one as a freezer and one as a refrigerator to put in the garage. I've kept a monitor on the temperature, and they have stayed consistent. My only real issue is the feet are slippery on the concrete garage floor, and had to buy rubber feet to level them out and keep them from slipping around when you try to open the door.

Bigger screen, smaller footprint. The HP 17.3-inch Laptop PC is about sustainability while blending performance and comfort.

Good value, hate the windows S mode.

Verified Purchase:Yes
For the price, i dont think you can get a better value laptop. Good performance, decent amount of memory, but don't try and game on it. You should have a great experience surfing the web, watching movies, and any light work and school needs. I've never liked Windows S mode. I know you can turn it off, but it's still a pain that will never go away, even if you pay for a better version of windows since the S mode license is embedded into the motherboard of the laptop.

Works as expected, I haven't had any battery complaints like some other have stated. 2 main complaints. The app spends too much screen trying to give you tips or sell you more products. The battery doesn't use USB-C to charge.

Meet the secure, tamper-proof smart lock from Nest and Yale. It~s keyless, so you can lock and unlock the door from anywhere with the Nest app.[1] Give people you trust a passcode instead of a key, and get alerts when they come and go. And lock the door with a tap. If you forget, the Nest x Yale Lock even reminds you.

Nice lock, but it's limited functionality doesn't differentiate itself from other locks. Looking for a lock that can lock itself when I'm home. Not sure why it can't lock itself at say 11pm just to make sure you didn't forget to lock it, or your kid unlocked it for you

I currently have the Nighthawk AC2300. Can this extender be solely used for my SMART HOME devices, such as RING DOORBELL and MOTION LIGHT CAMERAS and etc and does it have it's own unique "PASSWORD"?

yes, you could set this up so that it has it's own unique SSID's and password to only join certain devices

Did you know Philips Hue smart bulbs are only active when the light switch is in the on/up position? If the switch is accidentally turned off or Wi-Fi connection is lost, the Philips Hue smart bulbs no longer operates from any control source (wireless app, remote, or voice). The Aurora ~Always Ready~ Smart Bulbs Dimmer is the first and only solution that ensures your Hue smart bulbsare kept in ~ready mode. Its elegant, intuitive, easy-touch dimming aesthetic allows anyone to control the lights, even if they don~t have the app.
 

Which version of the Hue bridge do I need in order to program Aurora in the Hue app?

Version 2

We bought three of these for behind our large tv. They were installed by best buys geek squad. When put behind the TV first, they made a mistake and they had to get them off and on again. Maybe that's why they keep falling off? How can I fix it?

If geek squad installed I would call them and have it fixed. If they took them off and put them back on again, they will need new 3M adhesive strips.

Enhance your Hue lighting system with this Philips Hue dimmer switch. Removing the control unit from the magnetic base plate lets you use it as a handheld remote, and the on button also adjusts Philips colors and set ambiance levels. Adjust light settings precisely with this wireless Philips Hue dimmer switch.
 

Is it legal to remove original light switch (making HOT/Live wire always on). Put a wall plate and add this Hue switch on?

Code will tell you where you need to put the switches, as long as you don't cover up a switch and not replace it then you should be fine.

hello, my electrician just installed white ambiance lighting and the bridge- it works great, however he is using regular, home depot dimmer, switch, it turns on and off, but the dimmer not working with these lights? Do i need this dimmer?

no, a normal dimmer will actually harm these bulbs and cause them to fail sooner. You need a hue dimmer
