Posted by: dreamingofyesterday
Verified Purchase:Yes
Easy Install, quality product, fair price.
Out of the box till setup and working one hour.
I purchased this setup to help support moving off Cable and to streaming on my four TVs and to help support my WiFi Ring Devices, Nest Devices, Roost Devices, Alexa Devices, IRobot Devices, and my IPhones.
I also installed a new Netgear Modem to replace my Cable Rental Modem.
Very pleased with overall performance, connectivity, WIFI signal reaching all parts of my house, and some follow up support provided to help with IPhone WIFI drop.

Replace your lost or damaged Samsung remote with this Insignia Replacement Remote. Most Samsung televisions need no programming with this remote, and a code and learning function helps configure less common models. This Insignia Replacement Remote for Samsung TVs comes with a quick setup guide to help get you back to watching television easily.

Like to buy these on anything over $200. I figure if it is going to break it will be in the first couple years unless you abuse it.
Fair price and if it breaks its cover for repair or replace.

Nice throw in on our TV purchase. Allows us lots of time to see if we want to purchase showtime long term.

Very happy with video quality and ease of install

Posted by: dreamingofyesterday
Verified Purchase:Yes
I now own three of these. Very happy with overall product. Video very clear video, picks up movement quickly, nice human only movement option, include flood light auto on when alerted, as well as a siren if required during a bad even.
Batteries charge quickly and are holding steady in our daily 20-20 temps.
Initial setup was fairly straight forward.
Internet signal is good.
Also purchased a couple of the solar panels for the units away from the house. Waiting for the snow to clear before installing those.

Chime lets you hear notifications anywhere in your home when someone pushes your doorbell or motion is detected. Plug it into standard wall outlets and connect Ring Chime to Ring doorbells and cameras in minutes. Customize the sound you hear with classic and seasonal tones or designate a quiet time by snoozing your alerts. Add Chimes throughout your home and never miss a visitor or alert. Plus, the sleek design blends right into any room.
 

Do the chime help your WiFi connection

It helps for the room you plug it in but I would not recommend that and expect whole house coverage.

The Quick-Release Battery Pack allows you to have backup power for select battery powered Ring Doorbells and Cameras. To charge your battery pack, simply connect it to a micro-USB cord and plug it into a power outlet. If the battery pack in compatible Ring Video Doorbell or Securtiy Cam runs out of power, you can remove your batteries by pressing the quick-release tab on the battery pack. Then, simply slide your second battery pack into your device, and you~re good to go.
 

How do you put it together

. Remove the unit from the box

. Take out the plastic white battery shield

. Remove the battery from the box

. Push the small finger tip button near the light on the unit

. The battery compartment can now be seen

. Inset the battery into the right battery hole, push down until it click

. Close the lid

. If done correctly the light will come on for a few seconds

. At this remove the battery from the unit and charge fully with the small cable that is included.

. When fully charge the battery light will turn color and then insert back in the unit.

. Now setup the unit using your computer or phone, would advise doing all the setup inside until you are ready to screw in outside.

Have fun and good luck

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).
 

Worked fine and then said unresponsive. Did the reset on it only to get same message. What am I missing? Is this a cheap alternative that does not work?

I had a similar problem.

I put the Sengled app on my phone.

To get the bulb in setup mode turn the light on and off five times with a second/two in between.

Then using the Sengled app on my iPhone I was able to get Bluetooth established.

The light was now controllable via Olexa.

Do you have to have a smart home to use the light bulb features?

You do need an Alexa or some other similar device to communicate with the bulb.

How do I set up the light to my Alexa?

I found using the app on my iPhone easier than Olexa itself.
