Didn't meet my expectations
on November 13, 2020
Posted by: SVbach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wanted to simplify my audio setup from a home theater system with receiver down to a soundbar. Reviews made it sound like this might be comparable, but in the end, soundbars can't even come close to a dedicated 7.1 home theater setup with a receiver and quality speakers with a subwoofer. I should have expected that, but was disappointed in the outcome.

Shows fingerprints
on November 13, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this screen protector for my new iPhone 12 Pro. It fits the phone fine and should protect the screen as intended. However, this screen protector seems to show fingerprints and smudges much more than previous Zagg models I've owned. Might have something to do with the antimicrobial coating but I don't know for sure. I might have gone with a different screen protector if I'd know this was really going to be an issue.

Good thermostat
on November 13, 2020
Posted by: SVbach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Replaced a Nest thermostat with the Ecobee. The Nest sensor would not allow me to set specific times for when it would be used for temperature control vs. the main thermostat. The best you could do was set the sensor to one of four Nest defined periods during the day which didn't align with the times I wanted. Ecobee definitely gives more refinement on how its sensors can be used to control the temperature. The only issue I have with the Ecobee right now is its ability to use geofencing for energy saving. It uses the sensor to detect if you are home or away. However, if you want to use cell phones as part of that determination, it can only track one phone. Not helpful if you have 2 people in the house and the one with the cell phone leaves while the other is at home. There are some workarounds through IFFTT or Homekit supposedly, but I haven't been able to get them to work.

SmartSensor provides comfort to you and your family in the rooms that matter most while saving you energy and money. Through infrared technology, SmartSensor detects when a room is occupied and communicates that information wirelessly to your smart thermostat from up to a range of 60 feet prompting automatic temperature adjustments for comfort.

Integrated perfectly with my Ecobee Smart Thermostat. A little confusing on how to make the best use of the sensors in relation to the thermostat settings, but it is nice to be able to specify which room drives the temperature the thermostat will maintain. I have the sensor in the family room be the driver during the day and the one in the bedroom be the determining factor at night. My only complaint is the extra sensors seem a little expensive to me for what you get.

Good case

I've used Otterbox Defender cases for years and they've always done a great job of protecting my phone. So far, so good with this case on the iPhone 12 Pro, but its only been a couple of weeks. Despite being the Defender case like I had on my XR, this case seems thinner and lighter. I'm hoping that doesn't relate to less protection than the older cases, but only time will tell.

The High Lumen bulb provides a powerful white light that is bright enough to fully illuminate the kitchen, garage, or any other room where you need functional lighting. With 1600 lumen output of brilliant light, it's no surprise that it's Philips Hue's brightest bulb. Control instantly via Bluetooth in one room or connect to a Hue Bridge to unlock the full power of Hue, including automations and out-of-home control, sold separately.

Decent upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
A little faster than the IPhone XR that I upgraded from. Can’t tell much difference between 4G and 5G speeds right now but expect that to change in the future. Haven’t played enough with the camera yet to determine if it’s a significant improvement. Does seem smaller and lighter than the XR, but some of that has to do with the new Otterbox Defender case being smaller as well.

How many satellites do I need for this to work properly?

It’ll depend on the size of your house and what’s in between the satellites such as walls, furniture, etc. One device is supposed to cover 3000 sq ft, but your signal strength will drop the farther you get from it.

Yes, as long as there is room to mount one of the sensors on the fixed part of the door frame and the other one on the sliding door itself. It does not matter which sensor goes on the frame and which one goes on the sliding door.

The Roomba~ i7 robot vacuum unleashes powerful cleaning when, where, and how you want with a single command to your Google Assistant or Alexa voice assistant. When messes happen, just say, ~Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table.~ Smart navigation maps specific objects in your home, guiding it to the mess, right when the mess happens. With 10x the suction* and automatic, personalized schedules~even recommendations during pollen and pet-shedding seasons~ its vacuuming that fits seamlessly into your life.
 

I know that it maps out your rooms, but if it runs into a dog toy or something similar, does it move around the toy and continue? Or does the unit get stuck? Similarly, if I move my coffee table, does it get confused and stop or does it adapt? Thanks!

Depends on the size of the toy or object. If the object doesn't trigger the sensor that says the robot hit something, it will more than likely push the toy until it does hit something. If the toy won't go under the edge of the robot, then it shouldn't suck it up, but that is a possibility again based on the toy size. That isn't much different than a regular vacuum though. As for moving furniture, we sometimes put our table chairs up, and sometimes leave them down, and the robot seems to adjust accordingly to the changes. You do need to be careful with cords on the floor that the vacuum might come in contact with as those can get sucked into the cleaning mechanism. If the robot gets jammed, it will stop and let you know until you clear the jam.
