This works great with smart lights and IFTTT but still lacks integration with other devices (harmony, honeywell, etc.). Compared to Alexa, it understands better especially with google-type questions. The mic seems to be weaker as I've found myself having to yell at it a few times. Looking forward to future updates.

I only use this for cold water and the ice lasts throughout the day. There's no condensation outside so I don't have to worry about using a coaster.

I use this vacuum almost daily. You can create a schedule and set it so that it goes back to the charging station when it's done. I use it on marble floors and it does a really good job. The virtual wall also works well and doesn't eat up too much battery power. I definitely recommend it.

In my opinion, this is the best product in the hue line of accent lights. It has a wider range of colors. Best of all, it's portable therefore allowing complete wireless lighting.

This newer bridge allows you to use iOS Siri on your hue lights. The setup was straightforward and there's an easy option to transfer your lights from your old bridge.

This is a must have in a smart home setup. It's not as bright as the ambient hue bulbs but it work well as a solo light in a small room. I use it in a small home office and have it set up to auto turn on at sunset and off when the day ends.

This is the first generation light strip but as long as you have the newer generation bridge, it's pretty much the same. It works well with the hue family. Looks great behind the TV, especially if you have it connected to the sound system.

Does it know what devices are already on?
Does this remote remember what devices are already on? For example, if I am watching TV and I decide to play my Xbox One (and hit the Xbox or Gaming Programmed Activity) does it realize the TV is already on and just change the input or will it run the command to turn the TV on, which turns the TV off?
Yes, it already knows that the TV is on. So at that point, all it will do is switch the input.

harmony 650 usage
is it possible for the harmony 650 to be used with RF (control through the wall)?
No. This model uses infrared. The higher models (Harmony Smart) uses RF so you should look into those models.

Does this remote have hidden component rf frequency capability?
Does this remote have hidden component rf frequency capability?
No. This remote uses infrared. The higher models of Logitech Harmony uses radio frequency where devices hidden behind cabinets can still be reached and controlled - if that's what you mean by "hidden component." This model does not have that feature.
