Works well, less wires!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I own several of these at different speeds based on location need. Obviously want the fastest one at the router, once paired works quite well. Even if unplugged / power loss, pairs right back up on its own. Saved me tons of re-wiring needs.

Latency disappointing
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: AgentM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great at first, worked like a champ... got immediate notifications, could monitor in real time. Unfortunately this did not last. Initially everything was great, after a short time, latency in notifications and video has grown, almost 2 full minutes for video to show on App with same configuration where is used to be immediate. Maybe throttled due to not signing up for premium service, but this is not called out. Doorbell flaky from start, low / changing light conditions send chime solenoid into a nervous fit... also get random erroneous "tamper" notifications, triple checked all wiring & connections.

You're excited to buy a desktop ~ now, make sure to protect it. Geek Squad Protection enhances your manufacturer warranty and gives you extended coverage when the warranty ends. Geek Squad Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't (like failure due to a power surge). If something goes wrong after the manufacturer warranty ends, rest easy; you won't be stuck with a huge repair bill. Geek Squad Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.

Super handy, paired right up with my already owned av1000. Used this to relocate my VoiP phone base station without having to run additional wired. 600mbps speed is plenty for my application, I do use faster devices where needed. Also love the small package on the nano, much less obtrusive.

Somewhat disappointed
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: AgentM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Plastic construction is not as durable as hoped. Opening / accessing keys can be tricky / requires 2 hands. Low battery notification to App would be nice. App location tracking is spotty at best, even within paired device range. After several weeks discovered by lagging location history, device/keys are somewhere in my car, yet to locate. Suspect it slid out of my pocket & down between seats somewhere. There is a locate phone option to ring phone (from keysmart device), but no locate keys tone which seems odd.

Not exactly as presented, image portrays a smaller "desktop" style package, where shipped product is a full tower. Specs match and the cabinet, in this case, was not a deal breaker. So far works as expected, purchased as a gift.

Works well, great and economical option. Was considering a whole new system and all that goes with that, but this magical little device lets me connect my smartphone to my older 2004 Silverado radio with no wires or external connections, using the perfectly fine amp & speakers to listen to what I want, when I want. Charging ports are a great bonus!

Setup your Garmin n~vi GPS with this Insignia dashboard mount. The 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt let you view your device clearly from different angles, while the nonskid design prevents sliding by providing a secure, firm grip. This black Insignia dashboard mount has a low profile that bends to the contours of your dashboard for flexibility.

Doesn't work as well as I hoped. I had to set a velcro sticker to make it stay in place. And not tall enough.

The Birdfy AI Smart Hummingbird Feeder is fun, educational, easy to install, and makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in birds and the outdoors.With its dual, weatherproof, AI enabled, solar powered, high-definition (1080p) wireless cameras - lets you feed and then simultaneously view, record, and identify hummingbirds with your smart phone, tablet, or computer. Using motion-detection, day or night, it senses when there is a hummingbird visiting and records audio and video, from two separate vantage points, and sends you a real-time activity notification via the free Birdfy app. The AI system recognizes and differentiates between 6,000+ bird species and is included at no extra charge for the life of this product. The feeding station features a large capacity 20oz, BPA-free, anti-UV, nectar reservoir with ant moat. The solar panel is purposely separate from the main unit to allow for optimized placement and improved performance, because where you may want to put the bird feeder is not always the best place to capture the most sun, so added installation flexibility is a plus.

A smarter way to see who's at your door. Get notifications when motion is detected and view live video on your phone. Get the bigger picture of what's at your door, from head to toe or a package on the ground. Even see clearly in low light with night vision. Speak to visitors with two-way audio, or use pre-recorded quick reply messages when you're busy. Plus, receive personalized notifications when your Video Doorbell spots people, vehicles, animals or packages, and store recorded video clips with the included trial of Arlo Secure~. Arlo Video Doorbell uses your existing doorbell wiring for continuous power.
I understand that a set-up option exists to have he doorbell call multiple numbers simultaneously. How many numbers can be dialed? Does this require a subscription?
Push notification for up to 5 users do not require the subscription plan

Does the video doorbell utilize noise cancellation technology?
Never heard of this for a doorbell? But no there is no noise cancellation feature. Audio is only used when initiated by owner or button is pressed.

Control zoned heating and cooling with the efficient setup of this Google Nest temperature sensor. Compatible with the Nest thermostat (not included), this sensor lets you control the temperature and priority for any room in your home. The slim design of this Google Nest temperature sensor is easy to install on a wall or place on a shelf for discreet placement in bedrooms or living spaces.
I have 4 separate heating only thermostats in different areas of my home, do I need 4 separate Nest Thermostats to control each via the wires in the walls or can I have one "base" Nest and have 3 other Nest Temp Sensors to control the heat in those rooms?
This is just a sensor & does not offer independent zone control. You can use multiples to sense room temps and even have primary Nest thermostat use a sensor as the reference point for system on/off, heat/cool. But the sensors themselves do not offer any independent control, only the primary Nest thermostat wired into the heat source would offer system control.

Can i use this in a van? And if so will it tell me the temp when I'm not inside, for example if my van is in the parking lot and I'm on a school campus. Does it have a specific radius i guess is what im trying to say.
Works only in conjunction with Nest thermostat, connected to same wifi network.

Can these work as a freezer sensor?
you'll likely not get wifi signal in the freezer & would likely be below normal operating temperature. Operating Temperature

This full-motion mount handles televisions up to 84 inches, letting you mount even a wide flat screen. This Sanus large TV wall mount comes with a decorative cover to hide the hardware.
The studs in My basement wall are on 26” centers. I know this isn’t normal but I have double checked. Will this mount work? I have no problem drilling extra holes in the mount if needed.
Lots of mounting holes, my studs were very unevenly spaced and it still accommodated a solid mount with no additional support work
