These are awesome. I use them to turn the Christmas lights on and off in our windows. "OK Google - turn on the window lights".
Integrates well with Google Home.
SUPER easy to set up.

What happened to the tackling?
on December 7, 2019
Posted by: Kevin
Verified Purchase:Yes
Compared to last year, I find this year's version to be very unrealistic with respect to tackling. Seems like thin WR's are trucking LB'ers with ease and the first hit on a RB never seems to bring them down.

Tough on bad guys. Easy on you.Nest Detect sensors can tell you two things: when a door or window opens or someone's in a room. And with the Nest app, you'll always know what's happening at home.

I bought this to add another door to the monitoring of my Nest Secure. I'd add these to every door and window in the house IF they weren't so darn expensive. Like all Nest products, they are great but you pay a price premium. One star off the rating because of price.

Nice affordable upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
This phone was an upgrade from my son's iphone 6s which was on its last legs.
Right now there aren't many great deals on Apple phones, especially the X/XR/XS models. Price per month on the Verizon payment plan for this phone was a reasonable $25, so we went with it. Son loves the phone and the relatively compact size as he prefers the smaller form rather than the +'s.

Great product, but pricey

Verified Purchase:Yes
Hue stuff is always top quality. The entire ecosystem works well and integrates nicely with Google Home... "Hey Google, turn the lights on in the den".
I will say I had a Philips Light Strip fail where it wouldn't fully shut off, and Phillips shipped a replacement to me w/in a few days after some phone troubleshooting.
Expensive products, but great features AND support.

I had this professionally installed (kinda sorta - a close friend is an electrician). It took him 5 minutes, would've taken me a half hour. Works exactly as advertised. Set up with the app and integration into my Google Home environment was SIMPLE! I use it for the switch that controls my outside lighting. It's nice to be able to say "Hey Google - Turn on the outside lights" as I get to my street and pull into a well lit driveway.

His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

4 out of 5Mostly awesome. Possibly one show stopper.
By Kevin
Love ALMOST everything about this TV. Setup, picture, build quality, built in apps, ability to play wide array of video formats from USB, etc.
However there is one issue that could be a showstopper.
I play a fair amount of PS4 on the TV, and it will periodically blink the screen off for a short period. Maybe 1/2 second. Not a problem for strategy type games but could cause issues with action games. I can't tell for sure, but when it comes back on after the flash, the contrast *appears* to be different. Maybe it's struggling with HDR data on some games or the way the PS4 sends it.
I've updated the TV to current level and rebooted. I haven't tried an exhaustive list of video settings to determine where the problem is, but it seems to occur regardless of Picture setting (calibrated, vivid, game, etc.).
Hopefully Vizio support sees this and is able to find a product fix to issue in the next update. Otherwise, this may have to go back.

UPDATE: The sync / flashing problem I encountered was being caused by an old HDMI cable that obviously could not keep up with the throughput. Swapped it out with a new high speed cable and the problem went away! 5 stars now!

I just updated to an xbox one x. Is there a specific HDMI port I should use for Gameplay? I can see the Xbox home screen fine, but when I enter a game the screen goes green jumps betweem HDR/HDR10. Did I miss a setting? No manual was provided w/ TV.
Are you using a high end, high speed HDMI cable? Or the one you used with your old TV? I was having all kinds of problems with my PS4 on this TV til I replaced my HDMI cable. Didn't think that could matter that much but it sure did for me... completely solved my problem.
