Its a light switch
on January 24, 2020
Posted by: Andy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ok, so I bought the Ecobee and this was included in the package. I don't think I would consider it for separate purchase. It is a nice switch, good quality, but for the cost, you could have 2-3 smart switches.
The benefits of this over a normal smart switch is, it has a night light, motion sensor, and an Alexa speaker built-in. I like that I can have it automatically turn on a light when you walk by it.
Cons: The speaker is less quality than an echo dot. It won't integrate into a speaker group with Alexa. It is expensive.

Great concept, but I question reliability.

Verified Purchase:Yes
First. I love the ease of use, and integration with Alexa. It provides a lot of information and energy efficiency. The display and general aesthetics are pleasant, and the package includes a sensor and a Power extender kit for those without a C wire.
Luckily, I had a C wire already ran but it was not hooked up to the HVAC or old Thermostat. I found where the C wire hooked up in the HVAC and installed the Ecobee. Installation was easy and the software setup/account setup was as easy as following the simple directions.
Unfortunately, less than 2 months of use and the internal temperature probe failed. Luckily the system is smart enough to utilize the external sensors for a failover.
After emailing Ecobee a few times for support (took 2 weeks) they sent a new device and an RMA return label.
So far the replacement is working great.
Overall, I still trust Ecobee to support the Amazon system more than NEST with Google. Google constantly pushes out new platforms then abandons them after they collected enough data.

Good general use TV
on January 24, 2020
Posted by: Andy
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice TV for general use. It is a nice picture with a better sound than most tv's in the price range. Not that usually matters as most people use soundbars. I also bought the Walmart black Friday special (Onn 65") and there is a significant difference in quality. The LG can definitely outperform it, with better contrast, video processing, and clarity/color reproduction.

Streamline your creative process. Writing and drawing with Surface Pen feels natural, with precision ink on one end and a rubber eraser on the other. Sketch, shade, and paint with artistic precision~the 4,096 pressure points respond to the lightest touch. Tilt your Surface Pen to shade your sketches just like you would a graphite pencil, using the pen tip that feels right.~

Great portable system
on January 24, 2020
Posted by: Andy
Verified Purchase:Yes
I used to have a Surface Pro 3 when it debuted and thought it was great but needed a little more power (i5 with 4gb of memory) so I knew I needed to get something higher on this. I am extremely happy with the decision to get the i7/16gb. The screen is crisp and clear, the touch controls are smooth and the system has not had any performance issues with multiple programs running.

I previously owned a surface pro 3 when it debuted. This is similar but has backlighting. The keys are just right for response and the trackpad is accurate and easy to use. Must have for a Surface Pro, it shouldn't even be considered an "accessory"

I love the WD Easystore series drives. They work great for NAS systems once they are shucked. You can re-use the enclosure as well.

Control this ecobee Switch+ smart switch remotely from your iOS or Android device.
 

Do you need to have certain ights in your home for this switch to be compatible? For example, Phillips Hue LED lights or will it work with a regular floodlight or GE incandescent bulb? Lastly- How many lights can one switch control?

This switch works with LED, Incandescent, and CFL bulbs. They do not need to be smart bulbs. This turns your circuit into a smart circuit. The amount of lights it can handle at one time depends on the amperage/draw of the lights.

Can you use sensor from an Ecobee 3 with this unit?

I bought some older sensors from HomeDepot that are more square with the plastic clip on the back and they immediately paired.

If I buy an Epson WF 3720 included is a CD-Rom in the box. I have a Intel NUC computer. How do I install this printer

If you are running windows, it will work with generic drivers or you can have it update and auto detect. You do not need to have the CD. Everything is also downloadable from epsons site.
