Keep pumps and pipes in check with this Samsung SmartThings water leak sensor. It sends notifications to your smartphone when excess water is detected, and its audible alert lets you know when there's unwanted presence of moisture. Place this Samsung SmartThings water leak sensor near your sump pump to detect pump failure.

After buying into the SmartThings system and finding we had a defective water heater that leaked over our basement, I knew picking up a few of these was what I needed to do. I installed one by our new water heater, under our kitchen sink, behind our dishwasher, and our washer. Sure enough after having a major kitchen remodel done, I got an alert that there was a leak under our kitchen sink. My wife went home to check on it and a hose was leaking directly on it. Because we got the alert soon enough, we were able to fix the leak and cleanup the small amount of water before there was a problem.

Good upgrade over the Wii original
on June 8, 2020
Posted by: Nico07
Verified Purchase:Yes
I played this game originally on the Wii U after not being able to find it for a decent price on Wii. I then picked up on 3DS and found the visuals were great but muddy because of the low resolution. The Switch version now offers a lot of improvements over the original including 900p resolution and higher quality texture maps, and better lighting. But the visuals can still be a little muddy and are similar to Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Overall the improvements to the base game are great, but some like myself are hoping new hardware in the future will be able to help the game run even better.

Great VR bundle

Posted by: Nico07
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I don't have a lot of prior experience with VR, but after having played the PSVR at a friend's months ago decided to go all in and grab this bundle. I did get a little motion sickness from playing several of the games, but not bad. And it wasn't until I tried playing Skyrim VR in the traditional sense that I got really nauseous. Still after following some steps to overcome this like playing in short sessions and placing a fan in front of me while playing things are much better than they were. All around VR and the PSVR takes getting used to. The 900p resolution screen is a little blurry compared to 4K or even 1080p but the level of immersion is much better. Even trying other games like WipeOut it adds a new level of immersion that makes gaming experiences unique. If you haven't tried VR, it's worth testing at friends first, but any temporary discomfort can be overcome and the rewards are great.

Fun fighter

The Dead or Alive series has always been a good fighting series, but especially since 5 has had a lot of DLC content. To that point even the recent Street Fighter V has taken a page from that book with the game offering a range of base fighters, with a slew of DLC characters and more costumes than most would reasonably care to buy. Dead of Alive 6 plays well and offers a good range of arenas. While maybe not as robust as 5, there is still a lot of content to enjoy in this game.

Great space adventure

Posted by: Nico07
Verified Purchase:Yes
This original IP developed by Ubisoft was designed as a space exploration shooter and while it fits with the Star Fox theme that it has on the Switch, plays and works great on the PS4 or Xbox One. The game allows you to use physical characters and vehicles that snap into a controller accessory, or play digitally if you prefer. The base game can be played without anything connected, though if you buy physical toys you'll need to slot them in every seven days or they'll become unavailable. The best value is in the base game, though the digital deluxe pack is well worth the cost and adds a lot to the base game. Though there is something fun about slotting in ships and characters to your controller and seeing them light up. So again, if you enjoy games like Star Fox, No Man's Sky, or even StarLancer this game will not disappoint.

I pre-ordered this game the day I found out it was coming to Switch on a game card. The collection of 52 games (piano included technically isn't a game) is great and fun to play. There is a downloadable demo on the eShop that lets you play four games including dominos and connect four without owning the game, while enabling a game owner to play locally with up to three other Switch consoles not owning the game. The games range from basic like War up to Solitaire and even Bowling, so there is a range of skill just casual pickup and play games included. Bowling plays great, like an improved version of the Wii Sports game that offers great visuals and feel with the HD Rumble and a joy-con in hand. It even features little Nintendo nuances like being able to place the Switch console in portrait mode and have the screen adjust for that layout. Other games like slot cars let you have up to four consoles in a variety of layouts race against each other across multiple screens. Each of the games offer a lot of replay-ability as well as challenges to show off your mastery of each game. Whether you are looking to play a game alone, online, or locally in party mode with family or friends, this game is well worth picking up.

Prior to playing this game I had no remembrance of ever playing a Puyo game. This game offers a lot from both entries including a story mode and challenges that let you switch between both games in battle. While it might not be the standard of game of Tetris many are familiar with they are similar in a lot of ways and they go well together in this game.

Smartthings revolutionalized home automation making it easier for the average Joe to automate tasks at home. The Samsung Button adds to that making any such automation as easy as pressing a button. Beyond just a single press it can be calibrated for multiple presses like a double or triple press so multiple actions can be completed. So whether that's turning off the lights, locking the doors, raising the temp, turning on the sprinklers, etc, etc, you can make that task as easy as pushing a button. And the button works really well, with great battery life.

This collection was pretty incredible when it was announced. And only recently was the "Trials of Mana" game included in this pack remade as it's own modern game. The games in this collection play well and the Trials of Mana included was the first time it was officially released outside of Japan in English. Great collection I highly recommend.

Hands down BEST streaming box known to man
on May 11, 2020
Posted by: Nico07
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have owned at least a dozen different devices for playing back my digital media since around 2008. I started by ripping my DVDs so my kids couldn't damage the originals. Also playing back home videos from devices back to my early cell phone (shutters). But every device I ran it against there were always compatibility issues. Having to recompress, reconvert videos became a chore until I discovered KODI. The original Nvidia Shield came preinstalled with KODI and it is wonderful if you have your own digital movie collection. There is really no format or compression that I have come across this will not play.
In addition to this you can also use this device as a PLEX server, which basically does about the same but transcodes these video files for playback remotely, something the average streaming box cannot do. I do have issues with PLEX in it's overall compatibility but natively streaming files, combined with the Nvidia Shield it does the job.
On top of that the Nvidia Shield is THE most powerful set top streaming device meaning it will be quick and responsive now, but not be outdated any time soon. In fact, the original Nvidia Shield is still updated and works very well still today. It also works great as a Steam box for streaming content from a local gaming PC. And the Tegra X1+ chip inside means that it will handle any compatible game you throw at it (so long as you have a wired or wireless game controller). It also supports the Nvidia game streaming service where you can stream PC quality games remotely from Nvidia's servers should you have the bandwidth available.
So the question becomes why buy this, over say on older Nvidia Shield? The answer, this box has a little more processing power and can upconvert 720p, and 1080p content to look more like 4K content on the fly, and it actually works well. On top of that this new model supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos which were not supported before as they are a hardware upgrade vs software alone. And this Pro model basically also has extra USB over the cylinder model which are helpful if you need it for a USB hard drive or other device. So if 1080p is good enough for you and or you don't care about Dolby Atmos or Vision then look into the old player, but not too much as this model is priced really well.
I have been using this box since it's release daily and love it. The new remote is also a cool feature, that with the accompanying app, you can make the remote sound if lost in the couch (something that happened frequently with the older remote's very thin design).
All around I can't say enough good things about this device in a single online review. If you are wanting to stream content to a TV, no television purchase is complete without an Nvidia Shield to go alongside it, period.

3 months in, 2 sticky buttons
By Thisisdumb from Chicago
That's pretty much it. 2 of the buttons stick, not because of a sticky substance, but because they aren't centered properly in the shell. You can feel them rub up against it, and they make audible noises when they're pushed from the unsticking. It is very annoying. Don't bother with their "refurbished" garbage.

Clean it
May 21, 2019
With any gaming controller if you take a clean toothbrush, slightly dampened with water and scrub around the buttons you should be able to fix this. Be sure to not use much water and then dry it when done. There is a rubber membrane under each button with a slight lip around the edge to prevent small amounts of water, dirt or soda from touching the circuitry. Scrubbing all sides of the button, maybe twice after rinsing the toothbrush should fix the problem. I've used this method to fix otherwise filthy game controllers without needing to resort to opening them to clean them.

Smart reason I returned mine. This should have been branded that is for "YouTube or Twitch Streaming ONLY". So many reviewers got this camera yet of dozens of reviews only one I saw mentioned this. VR and other functions of the other games won't support this camera. This seems like a huge oversight, so hopefully this changes in a firmware update. But for now if you don't stream, skip this peripheral.

Charge or display your Xbox Wireless Controllers with this officially licensed Dual Charging Station that eliminates the cost of replacement batteries. Included are four battery doors (two for Xbox Series X|S / two for Xbox One) plus two 1100 mAh rechargeable batteries for up to 40 hours of gameplay*. To charge, simply click controller down on the Charging Station and monitor for LED color change from amber to white. When fully charged, click up to store. Focus on the game and not on your battery life.
 

Do these batteries also charge via the USB-C port on the controller? It would be a nice addition for if you only have one controller to charge as you play.

Will I be able to connect this to a Nintendo switch lite?

You would need a third party bluetooth adapter to connect in the USB charge port on the bottom of the Switch Lite. I'm not fully certain these work on the Lite over the standard Switch. So no it won't work natively.

My recommendation is the Switch Pro controller. Though if you're on a budget the PowerA wireless controller is cheaper dealing, missing some features like rumble, a built in 48 hr battery, and amiibo support, but is an otherwise solid $40 remote that occasionally goes on sale.

I recently bought this controller for my Xbox one and went to set it up when I got home with my rechargeable batteries, but they don’t seem to work. Did they make it to where older rechargeable batteries don’t work with the new controllers?

The form factor of the back is slightly different so you'll need a new charger as the back cover is different. That said older rechargeable packs can be charged separately and then installed in the controller.
Another option is to buy a new Xbox Series rechargeable battery pack (using the cover the controller came with) an then charge it via USB-C. This time around there are two sets of battery pins inside. I'm guessing that it won't charge older packs or rechargeable AA batteries via USB-C so that people wouldn't damage their controller by accidentally charging standard AA batteries, hence the second set of charging pins.

Can this controller charge two rechargeable AA batteries if I connect a USB-C cable?

So I tested this myself, and No it does not work. The Xbox Series controller has terminals for standard or rechargeable AA batteries to power the controller. But this time there are some smaller pins for a rechargeable battery pack and these will charge a battery from the USB-C port. But as they are between where AA batteries (rechargeable or not) sit they won't charge rechargeable AA batteries. My guess is this decision was made so that someone didn't inadvertently try to "recharge" non-rechargeable AA batteries as that would be a problem.

Can I turn off the British Accents? (British accents make my very annoyed, it is a pet peeve of mine)

You can quiet them and turn on subtitles. I get it, some of the Scottish accents are pretty thick and hard to understand. No offense to anyone, I'm sure they think the same of some of us Americans.
