Love these things! Have them all over the house to act as temperature sensors (which link up to my Ecobee SmartThermostat in SmartThings)
I also have them set up to run scenes if I dont want to use voice commands with Alexa. Would highly recommend these to anyone with multiple smart lights, scenes, or smart devices.

Very helpful in controlling temp

Love these sensors. I recently purchased the Ecobee Smart Thermostat which came with one of thee sensors. Realized our upstairs was around 5-8 degrees warmer than the location where our thermostat is placed. Due to this, I placed one of the sensors upstairs. However, this made our basement way too cold! So I purchased a few more sensors, and now there is a 2-3 degree difference from the basement to the upstairs. Would HIGHLY recommend this product to allow for full control of your thermostat.
Bonus, they work as motion sensors in SmartThings, so you dont have to buy any additional motion sensors for automations!

Fantastic headset
on June 4, 2020
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed a new headset after my last mod mic died. Decided to go full wireless, and after trying the Razer Nari ultimate, Astro A50, sennheiser GSP 670, Arctis pro wireless, and Audeze Mobius I found these and I got to say, I am a massive fan of this headset!
I didnt like the mic quality of the Nari ultimate and the virtual surround was awful. Not to mention I did not find the rumble addition was helpful at all. I turned it off immediately. The astros to me were very uncomfortable and honestly didn’t sound great. The sennheisers were okay sounding, but were very large, heavy, and uncomfortable with a pretty low quality mic. Not to mention the Audeze mobius had WAY better sound.
Now why wouldn’t I go with the mobius then? They are the best sounding, most comfortable (for me), and had great features. The connection was AWFUL. It would disconnect every 15-20 minutes. The mic quality was one of the worst I have tried, and not to mention they are extremely expensive. I have multiple pairs of Audeze headphones for listening to music and love the brand, but this headset was such a let down for me.
Are these the best headset ever? No. They aren’t the best for simulated surround, however I use the headset in stereo most of the time and this is completely adequate to head directional audio.
The bass is a bit boomy, but nothing like the Razer or Astro. The highs are not as clear or sparkly as the Sennheisers, but that’s to be expected for $100 cheaper. And the overall sound quality is not as good as the Mobius.

Overall, would I recommend these? Yes. 100%
They are comfortable, nice looking, good sounding, and have great connection with the slipstream dongle. Very happy with my purchase and can’t wait to see more headsets of this quality and price on the market

These are fantastic bulbs
I do wish they were a bit brighter, but I was only able to fit this bulb in one of our lamps instead of the larger 1100 w ones
Otherwise they are much better than hue!

Blazing fast and SUPER easy to set up

Bought this after moving where our previous mesh system was not able to handle the concrete walls and increased sq ft. Was debating between this and setting up a larger more enterprise network set up, but opted for the simplicity of a mesh network. I was worried about a drop in speed as our new house has gigabit fiber, but to my surprise, I was getting around 700-710 mbps off of the satellites! I couldnt believe this! Was thinking I was going to have to go with Wifi 6 in order to achieve the speeds I was getting. Completely happy with the purchase, and have told many a friend about this.

Will be switching out all of my Hue lights!!
on June 1, 2020
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am so happy I finally bit the bullet and decided to buy a few of these. I had gone heavy into the Hue ecosystem, but was recently very unhappy with them as I had frequent crashes and not to mention not enough light output. The colors were great, but I was looking for more.
And boy are these more. They are brighter, more vibrant, easier to use, and cast a better light than the Hue lights. I ended up trying TP-link, Hue, Sengled, and Yeelights until trying these just due to the price. After being unimpressed with the previous lights, I bought these and will never go back to any other smart lights. Completely recommended, even at the higher price.

Absolutely obsessed with these! My fiance has started to get annoyed with how many of these there are, but now she is on board as we can have our entire house automated. I am very happy with these sensors, and do believe they are worth the asking price. They work extremely fast with the gen 3 SmartThings hub

Great thermostat, with a few minor difficulties
on June 1, 2020
Posted by: TyJohn
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, Fantastic thermostat. Only reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5 is the user interface and connection with certain devices could be slightly better. My fiance has had some trouble with her app staying connected to the thermostat, or saying our AC was on when it really wasn't. However, this is MUCH improved from my Nest I had previously.
When comparing this to the Nest, I believe this unit has much more functionality and is able to connect to SmartThings natively instead of needing to use a workaround in webCoRE. I use SmartThings as my main hub, and have noticed the commands through this have been extremely fast, and consistent with no drops in connection or missed routines/automations. Not to mention the additional sensors you can add double as motion sensors in SmartThings and webCoRE which are a massive plus.
I have disabled the Alexa Smart Speaker in the unit itself as I have an Echo Show in our kitchen which picks up the voice commands along with this device. And, since there is no ESP on this device (the ability to recognize which device is closest to the user and respond with only one speaker and not the entire house), both speakers will be talking at the same time, and they are never synced!
Given the choice between this thermostat, the Honeywell T9, and the Nest, I will 100% buy this again.

Super easy to set up. Took about 15 minutes in total. Have it linked to my Alexa account so every time I leave it arms, and every time I come home I can disarm it with my voice. Also hooks up with my August locks. App is great for looking at my doorbell, and cameras all in one place.

What does a smart sensor do?
The Smart Senor acts as additional temperature sensors around your house to allow for full house control of the temperature. I have placed one of these upstairs, and one downstairs in our house. There was a 10-12 degree difference before I installed my Ecobee with the additional Smart Sensors. Now, there is 3-4 degree difference in our house between all floors. I also have been using the Smart Sensors as motion sensors in SmartThings to trigger automations.

Control devices remotely with this voice-enabled TP-Link Kasa smart Wi-Fi plug. It lets you schedule and operate two lights, fans or other appliances together or separately, and the built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi capabilities eliminate the need for additional hardware. Use the Kasa smartphone app to control this TP-Link Kasa smart Wi-Fi plug from wherever you are.
Is each of the outlets independent of the other or do they both react to the same command?
They are both individually controllable. I have a lamp on one side and a fan on the other side and I can control them together or separately on the app or with Alexa.

Seven speakers, a wireless active subwoofer and surround sound compatibility combine to bring professional-quality sound to your living room. Connect this Samsung Harman Kardon Q70R soundbar to your favorite audio source with support for Spotify, Alexa, Bluetooth, HDMI and many other connection options.
I already have the Samsung 9000 Surround Speakers from a Sound+ Soundbar, They seem to be larger and nicer than the 8000 series, will they work with this soundbar, or do I have to buy the smaller surround speakers?
They will not work. You will need the 8500s rear speakers.
