Great device and works well with a host of products. You do need a little technical no how if you are looking for a more complex set up, but the Smartthings community forum USA great place to get new ideas on how to use this amazing device. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that currently has gen 1 husband looking to update as you will have to complete set this up from scratch as there is not currently an easy way to migrate from gen 1 to gen 2.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Find out who's at your door, even when you're away from home. Just connect the doorbell via Wi-Fi and use the Ring app on your iOS or Android device to interact with visitors, receive alerts and review footage.

I have been using this for about 3 weeks now and I am a bit disappointed in a couple of things. The motion alerts are fairly constant if you live on a busy street, and even after Setting it to the lowest setting there were still too many and I still ended up turning them off altogether. The battery, even though it is hard wired into my house, it still doesn't charge up and continually tells me insufficient battery life, not sure if it is because of the cold or what. The last disappointment is the ring delay, often times I don't receive the notification on my phone until 30 seconds after the bell has been wrung. The camera quality is okay and it is a great idea, but execution is still lacking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Apple - MacBook Air® - 13.3" Display - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Flash Storage - Silver
MacBook Air features up to 8GB of memory, a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, Thunderbolt 2, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.1 Its thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go-and powerful enough to do everything once you get there, better.

Just what you would expect from Apple! A great product with great functionality. The only turn off in the MacBook Air is the lack of upgrade ability.

This is a great drone for Professionals or new comers alike! The drone is easy to get the hang of if you can get passed the firmware upgrade which is a cumbersome process to say the least. Super easy to fly and it takes great pictures and video!!

 Apple Watch™ Magnetic Charging Cable (1 m) - White
Apple Watch™ Magnetic Charging Cable (1 m) - White
Charging your Apple Watch is utterly effortless with an Apple solution that combines MagSafe technology with inductive charging. It's a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts. And it's very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment. You simply hold the connector near the back of the watch, where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically.
 
Great cable!

The Apple Watch is the perfect accessory to any Apple iPhone. It works great and it looks great. I was going to purchase a fitness tracker for half the cost but this does so much more that I had to go with the Apple Watch.

What's the operating distance this needs to be all items you wish to control via the hub? Can you use multiple hubs to cover a larger area?

I have a 3200 sq ft house with the hub on the main level of 3 story house and it works great on devices spread to every corner.

Romio picture/sound quality when used to tune tv channels

How does the Romio Tuner output quality compare to a $13 per-month fee (Time-Warner ) digital converter box ?
I think it is superior in every way from the boxes that you would rent from your provider. The only downside I can see with this is that you do not get on demand. :(

This does not work over WiFi, but you could buy another Roamio plus and that works over WiFi.

Tivo are indicating that the mini purchased from their online store comes with lifetime service. Does this also apply to those purchased from Best Buy for the $149?
Yes, the unit I purchased at Best Buy was eligible for lifetime service. You just have to call or go online to activate it.

What no wifi you are kidding, othe TiVo Romano does why not TiVo mini??

Sorry this unit is an accessory to a Roamio or Roamio Plus and it needs a hard wired connection, I'm guessing they didn't want to chance inadequate wifi connectivity as a method of streaming.
