This seems like it might be a good switch, but I could not use it because I don’t have a common wire in my light switch. So really I can’t rate it.

I actually bought this for my sister. She is 74 and electronically challenged. She has been able to navigate with this gps with very little instructions. She actually has made a trip from her summer home in Michigan to her winter home in Tucson, Az. She came by my house in Texas and I was able to try it out for myself. I found it to be very good and was loaded with many great features, like poi,s and route selection as well as route manipulation with little effort. There was one thing that was a little strange and that was it would say at that last turn, say into Walmart’s parking lot, going off road. It would have been better to say turn right, you have arrived. But being a long time user of many gps’s from several different companies including garmin, this is still one of the most impressive ones I’ve seen. Especially at this price point.

Amazon - Echo Dot (2nd generation) - Smart Speaker with Alexa - White
Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.
Small but excellent device

The amazon echo system is great. It does so much, about the only limitation to it is your own imagination. The echo dot is just a smaller version of the echo. The speaker is of course smaller, but you can pair it to a larger Bluetooth speaker and even plug in a speaker with the 3.5 mm plug if you prefer. So the sound of it is only limited to the system you connect to. The sound that it puts out on it own is good really only for a bedroom. All the other capabilities are the same across all echo devices. Excluding the two with a screen. I actually thing it responds better at times than my echo show does, which is supposed to be the Cadilac of echo devices. So if your not sure how to get started with a voice assistant, than this is the way to get started. Even if you do decide to grow your home automation, this echo dot can still play a big part in the whole system. I love all of my echo devices and the three dots I own play very important parts in the whole system!

These lights are very nice and work great with amazon echo. I use them with the dot and they are great. I do find them to be a bit expensive. However they are to me the best available and I was able to get them at Best Buy for only 9.99 apiece so I bought some extras to go with the starter kit I already had. They can be controlled with your phone and the hue app or by voice with the echo and can be set to any brightness from 1-100%. You use a hue skill on the echo to do that. Use them in two lights in the living room and two in the bedroom, as well as the back and front porches. You can group them to your liking as well. Great product, would recommend them to anyone wanting a little home automation!

Picked these up at a special price for $1.99, they work great and seem to be well constructed. At that price I picked up five extras. I was glad to get them at that price and they work nicely. Have tried them with my iPhone 7 plus, iPad Pro 9.7, and iPad Air 2, worked with all of them. Recommend to anyone needing good cables for their iOS devices!

This set works very well with the DJI phantom 3 professional. They slip on the camera lens very well and stay put. Also easy to remove and interchange. I mostly use the palorized one and it cuts out the reflection artifacts. I like the set and was waiting to find them at a great price and Bestbuy came though. Great purchase!

I was surprised at how much I like this amazon fire tv. I own a Apple TV and a roku. I really like it because I have amazon prime and amazon unlimited music and this really makes those services shine! It's nice to watch the prime provided content, movies, tv shows, and amazon original series. The Alexa inabled remote is also very nice.

All I can say is I really like the Alexa eco system. It can do allot of things. I enjoy it most for playing music. I started with amazon unlimited music and it is so easy just to ask for any song that you could imagine. It is so easy to use as a weather station and the smart home devices are growing every day, although most are rather expensive. It's nice that it uses Wikipedia if you need some real knowledge. It's so easy even my technology challenged wife enjoys it. I'll come home and she will be listening to her favorite genre of music which happens to be Dutch! It is a great alarm clock and timer, even I have it notify me when it's time to pull the pizza out of the oven, it is also great that you can ask how much time is left on your timer, great for impatient people such as myself. It has become my news source with all the daily headlines from my different news sources. It has so many thing it can do, and it just keeps getting better!

Saw it on sale again and picked up another one. This thumb drive works nicely. It comes with a security program on it if you are looking to password protect it. I'm not sure because I'm not looking right now, but I believe it formats out to 124g. It is pretty fast and works great. It is not USB 3.0 but works well on my Windows 10 machine. It's nice having a couple of these larger thumb drives for backups and moving large directories. Very good product so far, have owned them for about six months now.

I like this mouse a lot! It works well and has several nice features. It has software you can download from Logitech for smooth scrolling and push button fast scrolling. The battery life is supposed to be two years. Which I do appreciate because my other gaming mouse had a rechargeable battery that needed charging everyday. This mouse does take two batteries though. I like the size, medium is the size I would give it. Fits very nicely in my rather large hand. It is very accurate with movement as well and the mouse moves easily.

How do I get rid of the anoying "vault" software on the flash drive?
How do I get rid of the annoying and intrusive "vault" software on the drive? As suggested in a previous answer, I tried formatting it, and that don't work.
You my have to use the password you have used to unlock it, or if you haven't used a password yet you can just right click it and choose format, this reformats it and that vault program will be gone.
