I purchased this device on sale as a means of controlling my TV. It was marketed as having broad capabilities of controlling many different smart devices in my home, but after a month I find it much easier to use the native smart controls for each device. If you can find this on sale and don't mind the limited opportunities for use, go for it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's incredible what levels of polish Nintendo has achieved with this game, especially considering the open-world format. This is a robust and exciting world that is always throwing new challenges at you. Beyond that, it feels like a return-to-form with the Zelda franchise, allowing you to truly feel like a wandering adventurer saving a besieged kingdom.

This controller works exactly as advertised and functions well. I've seen other reviews mentioning drift of the cursor over time, but I haven't experienced that. As of May 2017 there aren't many Gear VR games that make use of the controller, but it still works well as a substitute for the touchpad on the side of the headset. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase.

These switches are a cheap and dirty way to get your lights, kettles, and devices started up through your phone or a home automation hub. The IFTTT integration allows you to activate, deactivate, flicker, and toggle any device you plug into it, allowing you to set up a myriad of ways to automate your home. 4 stars only because I had the switches become unresponsive for a few days - though customer support was quick to respond to my queries and the problem has since been corrected.

Not a day goes by where I don't use Google Home. It controls my lighting, it plays my music, it pulls up YouTube videos and podcasts for me. It's a fantastic product right now, and I can't wait to see how it improves in the coming months with the release of the new Assistant API.

I was in a bit of a rush purchasing this before a trip, but it had the best amps/dollar ratio I saw on the shelf at the time. I'm able to charge my phone (Samsung Galaxy S7) several times over after charging this battery once. Takes about 1-2 hours to charge fully.

Will this work with the Google Home?

Yes, though not directly. Both the WeMo Switch and Google Home have IFTTT channels. You can set up an IFTTT account and establish trigger phrases to activate, deactivate, flicker, and toggle the switch. It may not work out of the box, but this method allows you an extra layer of customization to your home automation setup.

Does this product have range limitations using wi-fi?

Nope! As long as your switches are within range of your home WiFi, they're on the internet. This allows you to change the state of the switch from where ever you have internet access.
