Wallplates and Pico remotes with this Caseta wireless dimmer kit complete the collection for smart-enabled wall and ceiling lighting.
Great home automation upgrade

I'm slowly upgrading from older maestro dimmers and these are a great replacement. The Lutron app allows you to create scenes so the lights dim for tv or movie viewing, or turn on automatically when you arrive home or off when you leave. With HomeKit integration you can use a iPhone and say "Siri turn my kitchen lights on" or "Siri turn the basement lights on to 50%". HomeKit is a very nice feature, and this Lutron hub also interfaces with motorized blinds to open and close blinds on a daily schedule, at bedtime, while watching a movie etc. I have 6 of the switches so far and we'll be adding more soon. Highly recommended!

This adapter seems to randomly have disconnection issues. I use it on my surface pro 3 and I will randomly lose connection on the ethernet port as well as randomly having errors during file transfers from a USB hard drive saying that the drive is no longer available. I also seem to notice issues if I use all 3 ports at once, although that may be a issue with the Surface Pro 3 as well. When it is working it works great, it just has some "hiccups" occasionally.

What's great about it: Good quality
I needed a cable to hookup my new laptop to my TV, and for whatever reason HP decided to include 2 display ports and 1 VGA port and my TV only has HDMI. This cord was the perfect solution and allows me to use my laptop on the TV very easily and for a great price.

Sony - PlayStation 4 (500GB) - PRE-OWNED
The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.
Great graphical improvements, stripped features

What's great about it: Better graphics
What's not so great: Many of the PS3 features were removed
Overall this is a nice system, but the interface itself is very basic compared to the PS3. The removal of most of the media functions (music movies, DLNA - the stuff that made the PS3 great) is not available on the PS4 - most likely due to Sony wanting us to use their music and video unlimited services. Disappointing move Sony!
The gaming on the system itself is great, and the tie-in with the PS Vita seems promising. I picked one up yesterday while I could still find the OLED version of store specifically for use on the PS4 actually. Hopefully they restore some of the features that they removed at launch.

Sony - DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 - Black
DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4: Improved dual analog sticks and trigger buttons offer an impressive sense of control, while the capacitive touchpad opens up endless potential for new gameplay possibilities.
So-So compared to PS3 Controller
Customer Rating
2.0
What's great about it: Touch pad, built in speaker
What's not so great: New button placement, if battery goes bad the whole controller needs to be replaced.
Anyone buying a gaming console should always have a 2nd controller for friends, family etc. That being said I don't like this controller as much as the PS3 version - it is less comfortable to me. The triggers are farther out now and the analog sticks are spread apart farther as well making my hands stretch more overall to the point where it isn't very comfortable. I end up missing the trigger sometimes just due to not fully pressing it in - hopefully once I'm more accustomed to it I will pull it all the way in but right now my brain is used to the PS3 trigger pull distance.
Another dislike is that the battery isn't user replaceable theoretically. I had a battery in my PS3 controller go bad and I had to replace the controller completely. If you don't have battery issues though the built in battery is great!
I would recommend this product to a friend since you need them to use the system and I feel OEM is better then 3rd party for stuff like this no matter what (build quality wise).

Microsoft - Wireless Controller for Xbox One - Black

What's great about it: Extremely comfortable
What's not so great: Doesn't include rechargeable batteries
Anyone with an Xbox one should have a 2nd controller for other friends, family etc. This new version of the controller is very comfortable and works great - it is an improvement on an already very good design (the Xbox 360 controller).
My only complaint is that Microsoft still doesn't include a rechargeable battery in the controller standard like the PS3/PS4 does but that also has a possible downside to it. My PS3 battery stopped charging at all so I had to replace the whole controller. I can't knock a star off for the lack of rechargeable battery being included since it could actually save you money in the end.

Navigating the Xbox One's dynamic menus is simple and convenient; just swipe your hand, speak commands or use the included wireless controller.Advanced TV hardware required. Games, add-ons and media content sold separately. Initial setup and some games and features require broadband Internet; ISP fees apply. Online multiplayer requires Xbox Live Gold membership (sold separately). Multiplayer between Xbox 360 and Xbox One not supported. See Xbox.com/XboxOne.
Great new console!

What's great about it: Great new games, new kinect
What's not so great: No DVR Control while watching TV currently.
I've had a Xbox One and PS4 pre-ordered since their announcement on June 10th and so far I am loving every second of it! Great piece of hardware, and the new games looks AWESOME! The kinect is extremely accurate and a lot of fun as well.
The TV functionality is the only downside currently. It DOES work for controlling your TV, Cable/Satellite box, Audio receiver ETC but it doesn't have any DVR controls currently. Hopefully that gets added soon. You can of course use the remote for your satellite/cable box for DVR functions for the time-being to get around that issue.
Overall, great system and fun to use!

What's great about it: Price
I bought this lightning cable to keep at my desk at work so I can charge my phone without having to bring my regular charger to and from work everyday. It's considerably cheaper they the Apple branded charger, and actually looks cooler in my opinion. The LED lights in the cord flow towards the device while it is charging (it looks like power is "flowing" into the device) and the lights stop moving once the device is fully charged.
This does what it is supposed to, and I would absolutely recommend it.
My only wish about this product would be that the cord was longer but it is very usable.
This product has... short cord

What's great about it: Free games and DLC
What's not so great: Mandatory for PS4 online gaming
I've always had PS+ for the PS3 just for the free PS3 games, DLC, and Vita games but now that it's mandatory for online play on the PS4 many more people will be looking to subscribe to PS+. There isn't much to it, you buy the card and enter the PSN code online/on your playstation and that's about it. You can find it for almost half of at Bestbuy from time to time, and the codes do stack so its a good idea to stock up when they are on sale.

What's great about it: Very fast charging, great battery life, more enviromentally friendly (not disposing of used batteries in the trash)
What's not so great: The initial upfront investment for a charger and batteries for all of your devices
I was getting tired of continuously purchasing new batteries for my large variety of electronic devices so I decided to get a rechargeable battery system. After some research I decided upon Duracell rechargeable batteries with a ION Core. This charger is VERY fast, it will fully charge a battery in around 15 minutes which is faster then I could drive to the store if I needed new ones. It does cost a little more initially for the charger and batteries for all the different devices you may have, but after your initial purchase you won't be going to the store to buy batteries anymore or looking for a place that accepts batteries to recycle. I would highly recommend this charger and the ION series of batteries.

Samsung - Smart Evolution Kit

Compatible with my 75" ES9000?
I have read in other site reviews (and was told by the Best Buy sales guy I bought my tv from a year ago) that this Evo kit was compatible with my ES9000 but the Best Buy Site specs do not list the ES9000 as a compatible TV.
Please clarify?
Jeff
Please clarify?

Yes the ES9000 is compatiable with the Samsung Evolution Kit per the manufacturers website located at http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/tv-av/televisions/smart-led-tv/UA75ES9000JXZK-features
Approximately 2/3rds of the way down it specifies that the TV is compatiable and will upgrade the TV from a Dual-core TV to a Quad-Core TV.
