Cool light
Customer Rating
4.0
I love this light and it's really useful in a power outage. It has several different settings you can cycle though using the button on the bottom of the unit. Unfortunately you cannot sync that setting with other lights or pick any of these settings from within the app, which is quite annoying.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Google - Nest Cam Outdoor security camera
Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.
Great quality

Pros:
Ease of use, design, quality, software
Cons:
$100 year subscription for best recording
Cable does not detach from unit so it makes it non replaceable.
Cable is an odd length with an adapter in the middle between the camera's cable and a cable that plugs into a power outlet. I'd like to have seen one uniform cable from wall to camera that was replaceable and extendable.

This is a simple pack for all three movies. The movies inside are not cohesive, they are not themed together and instead this feels like three single packs thrown together. It does not come with digital versions which was quite annoying.

Nest Protect reliably detects and alerts you to the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide in your home. The alarm speaks to you in a calm, clear, human voice, telling you the location of the danger. It also provides smartphone alerts and battery status updates to help protect your home. This hardwired version is suitable for homes with existing hardwired smoke or CO detectors.
Pathlight is great
Customer Rating
5.0
Of course it works well and fine as a smoke and carbon monoxide detector. The alarm silencing and voice alerts are great features. I really love the pathlight function. We have one at the top of our stairway and it is really convenient to have the light come on at night to guide your way.

Great RTS game. I've played this for years and although the way they set up the expansions for this game was odd, its great to play all 3.

The official app is junk, but the lights work well. They look good and there are some cool things you can do with them. You cannot tell that it isn't a standard bulb in there when you use a standard white color.

Sonos - PLAY:3 Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music - Blanco

I really love how the Sonos software works so I bought this speaker, one of many Sonos speakers I have. This is my second Play:3. I find for the price it doesn't sound much better than the Play:1. I'd rather have a Play:5 but this is of course much more affordable than the 5 and provides more filling sound than a Play:1 although the sound quality is similar. The unit is built well and attractive.
The Sonos set up could not be easier, the software is great and is updated frequently while at the same time the speakers aren't physically updated, so you don't have to run out every year and upgrade to the newest hardware because they support it continually.

I own quite a few Sonos speakers and I think the Play 1s are the star of the show. They're small an well built and the price is great for the quality you get. The sound from such a small speaker is amazing. I think it sounds better than the larger and more expensive Play:3. The Play:5 sounds the best but it is the most expensive and the largest.

Needs better on/off solution
Customer Rating

I think these lights are great. The coolest thing I've done with them is synced them to a TV show. I replaced three lamps in the living room with these. One lamp was hardly used, one lamp was used often, and one was on a light switch. It is a little annoying that you need to keep the switch on all the time and use the app to turn it on and off. The app is terrible. It's hard to quickly turn the lights on and off or dim them or change the color. It's way too many presses to get to what you want, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to save presets (like two lamps on dim and one bright).
I purchased two Hue Tap switches, hopefully that helps.

My son wants this camera as a baby monitor. It would be his second one. I was thinking of getting him the outdoor cam so he may place it outdoors when he is through with it in the older child's bedroom. Pros and cons? Thank you Jan

Are you able to remove the power plug and hardwire the existing wires to an outdoor electrical source. For example, remove motion lights and hardwire this camera in?
No, it is a USB device plugged into a 120V power unit which is powered by an electrical outlet.

I want to mount this indoors in a window. Will it work thru glass at night?

What is this? What does it do & what's it's purpose? Are they colored light bulbs with Bluetooth? Please explain.
They are lights on their own wireless network. They connect via their own "Wi-Fi" to a base station that is connected to your home network. You can use an app on your phone to turn them off and on and change their colors. You change the colors to enhance a room like you would with a new decorative rug. You can also connect them to other technology for different functions such as security lighting.
