Time to Meet Steelbook (God)
on February 4, 2022
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
A top tier steelbook for a top tier movie. Whenever you wanna go on a tense ride, you watch this movie. Terribly well done and now it has the steelbook it deserves. Picked this up on Black Friday and didn't even know it existed before then. Best Buy has continued to step up their game with steelbooks and is becoming *the* place to get your new releases.

Chaotic steel-book for a chaotic yet thrilling adv
on December 31, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a big fan of the DC animated shows and movies and this very much seem to be in the same realm of those, which felt like a first for the DC live actions. Absolutely love that it was given the reign it was to be as unrestricted as it was and that only helped it feel like the mature & enjoyable animated features.

Cult movie finally given some much deserved love
on December 31, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
The steel-book is pretty run of the mill, but the slipcover is chef's kiss. I was very happy to buy a BB exclusive edition, especially considering it was 4K. Definitely a memorable part of my collection.

Must have with new house wiring
on June 22, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Installed this fairly easily in a home that had updated wiring, meaning the neutral wire was present (as it is needed for this to work). When using this with a Google Home, if you have automations set up it is important this is not designated as a switch but as specific a product as possible -- for example if it's to a light change the description to a light so that the automation doesn't throw an error (something to do with a safety hazard). The only thing you have to get settled with on this is that you can only press at the bottom (yes, you have to unlearn pressing on the top of the switch) and depending on your wiring it could make a clicking noise when you do press it / the signal relays to the device. However, once this is installed it is good for however long and is hard-wired and just needs 2.4GHz WiFi.

Best bulb for your bucks in a smart home
on June 22, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Real easy to use with Google Home. I try to avoid having multiple third party apps when trying to build a smart home, but because of how affordable these lights are, they are one I am willing to get. I think in the future I may get normal bulbs and rewire the switches, but in a pinch these are great.

Keep the action going with the Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and interrupted gameplay.*

Same trick, new cable
on June 22, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
The battery pack is what you would expect if you ever used the rechargeable kits from previous consoles -- only difference is the pack size (new controller is slightly smaller after all) and then the USBC cable being standard, which is great because now if you have a newer laptop charger you can just use that.

Nest is the new standard
on January 19, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Make use of the AEP rebate and this is well worth it. This is far and above the easiest thermostat to install I have encountered. No instructions were included, a simple QR code and some moments to get your bearings and you're on your way! The ordering of the wall plate and what screws to use is important, so I would not try and guess how to go about it. The nicest feature of this is when it is setting up and has been, it takes into account the wiring you have available and once wired at any given time will show you the active connections. The 3rd gen uses USB micro to charge and does *not* come with a cable FYI. Other than that, this thermostat is pretty standard in all homes. AEP offers a rebate at any given time because they want everyone to have one!

Clock dot is the new standard
on January 19, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Very practical to add the clock. A digital clock addition to the echo dot was smart. Best of all, when you have a timer going, it by default only shows the countdown. This is perfect for the kitchen area. Only issue was I had to turn off the auto-brightness on the display as I wanted it set to a specific value. A simple perusing of the Alexa app for about 30 seconds got it figured out!

Affordable and adaptable plug
on January 19, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this in coordination with an Amazon smart plug. Depending on how you look it, downloading an extra app may or may not be a good thing. Once it is added to the Amazon app, you don't necessarily need the extra app. However, you could always use this without any ties to Alexa separately because of that. Not only did I get this because it was slightly cheaper, but because it means I am not forever tied to using Amazon Alexa. Takes a few minutes of extra time to set up because of that, but works just as well as the Alexa smart plug!

Sengled Bluetooth Mesh Smart Bulb that works with Alexa only. Expand your smart home without overcrowding your Wi-Fi network or adding an extra hub, and the Bluetooth Mesh technology allows you to do whole house installation. Simply say "Alexa Discover New Devices" for easy installation, and then use the Alexa app or voice control to setup routines, schedules and away mode. Vibrant color (CRI 90), Ample brightness (800 lumens).

Great smart bulb for Alexa
on January 19, 2021
Posted by: Seth
Verified Purchase:Yes
Perfect bulb for Alexa users. Got it for my dad and he loves the dimming features of it. Before we had a smart plug to turn it on and off and now I think he will just buy a bunch of these and use them around the house. Super easy to set it up, does not require an external app as it only works with Alexa. Can't recommend enough.

Improve your video quality with this Manfrotto aluminum tripod. Its Befree Live fluid video head provides accurate camera balancing to prevent blurred footage, and its tube legs can be placed at either of two angles. This Manfrotto aluminum tripod has a fluid drag system for smooth movement while panning or tilting.

Almost perfect
By Seth from Columbus, OH
Absolutely love the Manfrotto plate. I have never used a tripod that had a better camera locking mechanism for such a fair price. However, this tripod does not have a leveler which is a bit disappointing. Expect to pay about $50 more if that is important to you. My camera has a built in level view, so it is not that big of a deal to me, but to others I must warn you.

Correction!
September 20, 2018
I lied, this tripod does had a leveler and of course I just didn’t notice it until now because the one I was using before was much less subtle. This, however, does not have a light up on the leveler but I would still update my review to 5/5 stars.

Upgrade or replace your current switches with TP-Link Tapo Matter-Certified Smart Switches. Works in most homes with a neutral (white colored) wire for simple installation. TS15 offers a seamless way to control your home ambience across all major smart home platforms. With easy installation, voice control capabilities, and remote monitoring, it provides convenience and flexibility in managing your lighting preferences.
 

Is the switch compatible with Kasa iPhone app?

Unfortunately, this switch uses the TP-Link Tapo application instead of the Kasa Smart app. The apps are essentially the same user interface, but these newer products that support matter required a separate app, as they have some slightly different capabilities that would not be compatible in the same app ecosystem as the previous generation. However, if you use Alexa or Google Home, you would still be able to consolidate all your smart devices into the respective smart home app. With Matter support, you could also use Apple Home now, whereas you could not before.
