Solid Mouse for the $ esp on sale or in bundle
on January 18, 2022
Posted by: IndyDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Amazing for the price. My son had a gaming mouse but this one came with his new Corsair keyboard. He is selling his other mouse because this one simply outperforms his previous one and he loves the feel of it, He did have a brief issue with trying to get certain buttons to work for a few games but after messing with drivers and software, all is well. So I am deducting a star for ease of use. Though it seems fairly plug and play.

These are rock solid. I have installed numerous pairs and they allow you to easily backhaul Mesh and other access points using existing coax so no new cable is needed. Saves a bundle on labor and time.

Good for the money
on April 26, 2021
Posted by: IndyDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a hard time deciding whether to do 3 stars or 4.
Very good value for the money but Sony could have made a few small touches to improve the user experience, especially making sure the Bravia sync really works as intended.
Overall a simple receiver but if looking to get into Home theater save your money for the next level up or spend $300 on a better used one.

The bar has been set for all future re-releases.

One of the all-time best movies/trilogies, now looking and sounding better than ever.
I have a 9.2 Atmos setup with Sony 4k Dolby Vision compatible Ultra HD Bluray and TV. These movies made all the work and money setting it up worth every penny!
This is a must-have if you love these movies and the TV to enjoy the new 4K HDR. They simply Pop and during dark scenes look amazing and detailed. The sound? One of the best soundtracks for my Atmos system yet. Completely enveloping, especially during scenes underground.

Powerful Mesh that just seems to work. Pretty simple to set up and the internet signal is solid and fast even in multi- story plaster house. Also, allowed 3 more Google Wifi mesh nodes to join without any issue, and the 5 nodes blanket the house well.

It works and I needed it, $7.00 was a bit much I felt.
No sound degradation I noticed and I think it will do the job I needed it to do.

A Remote Powerhouse.
on March 15, 2021
Posted by: IndyDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Loses half a star for the cost, and the other half of a star for how unnecessarily difficult Alexa integration is. I feel this is more of an Alexa issue than a Harmony issue. When you have a firestick, Alexa wants everything to run through that. When you lose the Alexa issue this is a powerful and well-thought-out control system that can really turn a complex system into a manageable one even for those who are less than tech-savvy. Programming can go easy or at times be difficult to nail down and may take some trial and error. I wish the help function was more prominent for my older users to more easily find. Otherwise, the screen and backlit buttons are very helpful! I am giving ease of use a 5 for a remote that is well programmed. I would give it a 3 if just on ease of programming. I am savvy and programmed many Harmony. It can still be a chore depending on the Components. IP control and Harmony's recognition that CEC via HDMI can often cause problems too has helped.

A needed investment for higher end TVs

For the $70 sale price the value is immense. The Panamax undoubtedly helped the picture on the TV and having all the components, and, cable coax, and cable box wired through it made cable management easier. There is also a lot more confidence the TV will be much safer.

Really Quiet! Small form factor.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love how silent it is. It is tiny for my hands. My son, however, found the fit perfect. If I were using it for travel or taking notes during a meeting, I would be happy with a benefit from lack of clicking from scrolling or button presses. But unless you have smaller hands, this may not be an ergonomic fit.

Built-in motion and ambient light sensors on KS220M work together for true hands-free control. Connected lights turn on automatically when you enter a room and turn off when you leave. Ambient light sensor prevents the lights from turning on automatically during the day and auto-adjusts your room~s brightness. Use the Kasa Smart app to control the smart switch from anywhere, set schedules or even pair with other Kasa devices to set the perfect ambiance. Pair with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Samsung SmartThings devices to control with your voice. Kasa Smart app will guide you through each step of the wiring process and help you connect to your home Wi-Fi. (Available on Android and iOS)
 

Can this Kasa motion activated switch turn on a remote kasa smart plug? Then when the switch turns off, it turns off the Kasa smart plug If not, is there a way to implement this capability? IFTTT? Alexa?

Yes, you create a group in the app. In my home office, the main light switch also activates two lamps via their respective smart plugs.

Experience cinematic audio at home with this Klipsch Reference Premier Atmos surround speaker. The 1-inch titanium LTS vented tweeter and 5.25-inch cerametallic cone woofer deliver high-efficiency audio with clear detail at high and low frequencies. This Klipsch Reference Premier Atmos surround speaker features Dolby Atmos Elevation effects for atmospheric audio from all directions that immerses you in sound.
 

Because my ceiling is 18 ft high, can this Klipsch rp-500sa be wall-mounted at 8 ft high and still have sound effects as a Dolby Atmos?

I would say yes. They have a switch to turn off the Dolby crossover intended to make the reflection work. In a "direct" situation with the switch in the surround mode, I imagine they will work great, especially to match other Klipsch. If you have other types of speakers consider the SVS too.
