Not exactly what was promised on the box. The camera was a little slow. The app did not always connect local or remotely. If you are looking for a small camera for A specific use, it may be useful.

I really like the ability to download apps and have the updates and apps where I can see what's available… With the older versions of the Apple TV, it was either there or not and you did not know what was coming after an update. I also like the ability to do native Pandora instead of streaming through the phone.

 Insignia™ - USB Type-C-to-A Adapter - White
Insignia™ - USB Type-C-to-A Adapter - White
Connect your USB devices to your Apple® MacBook® with this Insignia™ NS-PU396CA-WH cable, which features USB Type-A and USB Type-C connectors. Transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps ensure rapid response times.
 

Using a non-powered multiport USB-C to USB A connector my Apple DVD external superdrive or my external samsung DVD Players will not work. Will this single USB C to USB A make the superdrive work?

It should work as per Apple website...

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202665

If you're using a MacBook Air SuperDrive manufactured before Fall 2010, it won't work with the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter or the USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter. To identify these drives, plug in the drive and open System Information. Click the Disk Burning tab in the System Information window. If your SuperDrive displays 1CHQ or 2CH9 as its firmware version, it's not supported with these USB-C adapters.

Can you hook up wireless surround speakers and a wireless subwoofer?

The system has preamp outs and amplified out. So yes you should be able to come out of one of the outputs and into your wireless transmitter.

Top Left - Green = Connected to Existing WiFi
Top Right - Green = Broadcasting (Ready to Connect)
Circle with line in top = Power
Lock with wifi bars on top = WPS Protected setup (when you press the WPS button on the side of the device, it should blink green. When you press the WPS button on the existing WiFi device and they join together, it should be solid green)

Can I control every function of a tv, sound bar, and direct tv with only this hub and my iPhone? Or is this mostly for home automation like lights

This device can control just about anything that uses IR. If it is not in here and when you add device in, you can also program it in using existing remotes.

 6-1/2" In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair)
6-1/2" In-Ceiling Speakers (Pair)
Fill out your home theater setup with these in-ceiling speakers that blast up to 100 watts of clear, rich sound.
 

Looking to go to 7.2 ch.

Upgrading my home theater. I currently have 5 speakers. (all cambridge sound movie works speakers so they are a little older but work great.) I'm now looking to add to speakers in the back right behind the couch. I'm also buying the sony Model: STRDN1050 receiver. Will these speakers work fine for this or might I blow them out.
2 things to look at...impedance of the speakers (these are 8ohms) which should match the rest of your speakers (either 4ohms or 8 ohms) and the output wattage of your receiver. (these can handle 100w) as long as impedance matches and you don't pump more than 100 watts per channel (see your receiver specs) you should be fine.
