This little switch is great for areas where there's not a lot of room… It worked exactly as advertised.

I love my iPads I have several for use with Home and with work. The iPad mini 4 is just a tad larger then the rest of the iPad mini line. This means that cases that work with every other iPad will be too small for the iPad mini 4 and vice versa.

What's great about it: Ease of Use, Camera
What's not so great: Outdoor Stability, No maintenance parts.
I was looking for a RC copter to play around the house. The camera works fine for video and pictures. (Not the best, but not the worst) After several crashes, It is still flying fine. Flying outdoors requires no wind...even a light wind makes it very hard to control.

 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.

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&quot; 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.
