We've bought one of these for each of our Nest Hub Maxes. If you utilize the Nest Hub Max for video calls and/or the Nest Security Camera, this stand is a must to unlock all of the devices potential!

A lot of fun during breaks at the office. I would wait for a sale though. It's a little overpriced. I will be adding a little more weight to the bags because they tend to hang onto the hole rather than fall in.

Whether you're across the house or across the country, Nest Hub Max helps everyone stay in touch. You can make video calls or leave video messages with Duo. It’s hands-free, so just say, “Hey Google, call Grandma.” The 10-inch HD touchscreen delivers sharp images and text, while the 6.5MP camera captures photos in stunning detail. This Google Nest Hub has a built-in stereo speaker system with a 30W subwoofer for high-quality audio, and Google Assistant makes issuing commands simple.

Solid device that provides the ability to do Google Duo and check our nest cameras, which is the main reason we purchased it. It's larger than expected. Sound quality is very good. Unfortunately there is no way to adjust different aspects of the sound. For example, the Nest camera audio for the baby monitor tends to be very quiet. But if we crank up the volume and use Google Assistant or receive a Google Duo call, we are then blown away by the loudness of the aforementioned apps.

This computer had everything when we purchased it. Back lit keyboard, Blueray DVD, large screen size and it was relatively fast.
But I had to reset it multiple times due to errors (blue screen) because of driver issues and who knows what else. Every time it came back and worked great but it just got a little annoying. Lately, with some updates it has been more reliable, but still, with lighter and faster computers now available, it's time to upgrade.
Asus makes superior products, however, this one did not live up to what I expected.

Phenomenal and necessary investment if you own a Surface! I purchased this color to hopefully help my absent minded child to not forget it somewhere.
Quick and easy setup. Only negative is it takes an AAAA battery. No. That's not a typo. It's a quadruple A battery. I didn't even know they existed.

This think KICKS! I didn't expect much, expecting form over function. But wow. Although the price tag is a little higher than I would like, This has definitely been the missing puzzle piece to my Sonos surround system. I would highly recommend it with your Sonos sound bar and surround system.

We had an S Series Roomba without this for about six months. While it worked well, one of the negatives is that if the Roomba "thinks" its bin is full it stops doing tasks. We have dogs and even if there is a tiny bit of hair in the bin, it thinks it's full.
Worry no more about this with the Dirt Disposal! Right in the middle of a cleaning the Roomba will return to this base, dump its dirt and go right back to where it left off. Because it is constantly removing debris from its bin it also lessens the amount of maintenance needed for the brushes and wheels.
A little warning the first time it empties the Roomba. You will think a jet plane is landing in your house. It is loud!!! But it's quick and done.
Emptying the bin when its full is easy. The disposable bags actually self contain so you never have to touch the nasty dirt. Very nice!
I do feel like Roomba has almost forced this to be a necessity for their S Series through design. It's expensive! But all in all, this thing is worth every penny! I would highly recommend it if you've already spent a pretty penny on a higher end Roomba.

We own multiple devices and have since picked up more for our beach house. These are great for streaming nearly every service imaginable. They are also capable of device mirroring from your cell phone or other device. Perfect 4k quality with a 4k TV and amazing quality with any HDTV.
You can download the app and use your phone as a remote and even use your phone and a headset for private listening.
I HIGHLY recommend this device for seasonal rental properties as well. It has the ability to be put into "Guest Mode" which saves the owners setting and makes the unobtainable by guests. It then gives the guests the ability to login to their own services and input a "Check Out" date to log them out.
All in all this device is wonderful and I would highly recommend it.

 Philips - hue Tap Remote Switch - White
Philips - hue Tap Remote Switch - White
Philips hue tap 452524 Switch: Take your smart lighting controls to the next level by accessing up to four light scenes with the push of a button. Great as a backup when your smartphone is charging or in use, the hue tap provides wireless, touch-powered control from room to room.
 

I have had one of these that control my hue lights. It is about 6 years old and has stopped working. I am thinking the battery is dead. Is there a way to replace it?

There is not a battery in the device. It runs on kinetic energy created by tapping the buttons. It may be that it needs a reset. You can find a video for that on youtube.

This base kit includes 1 color changing Hue Play light bar, mounting hardware, and 1 power supply with plug. Create a wash of colorful light with the sleek design of the Play light bar. Choose from 16 million colors to experience different light effects. Select preset scenes with dynamic effects or create your own in the Hue app. Lay it horizontally on the floor or stand it vertically on a cabinet or shelf. Create a TV backlight by mounting it to the back of the TV with the included mounts to enhance your home theater setup. Connect up to 3 light bars with one power supply (extension kits sold separately). Connect to a Hue Sync box (sold separately) to create immersive lighting experiences that sync in real time to your favorite movies, music, and video games. Hue lights can sync with music when you pair them with your Spotify account or listen to music using Samsung SmartThings in the Galaxy smartphone app. Take gaming to a whole new level when you sync Hue lights with Razer Chroma LED accessories and Corsair iCUE products. Requires a Hue Bridge (sold separately). Unlock the full power of Philips Hue smart home lighting with the Bridge and enjoy benefits like multi-room control, automations and smart control from anywhere in the world.
 

Can the bar light be mounted on the ceiling? Thanks!

Yes. It has a 3M adhesive sticker for attaching it to anything. However, it might damage drywall when you remove it.

Stream audio to a stereo system with this matte black Sonos Port. The audio line-in lets you connect CD players and record players, while the line-out supports RCA or digital connections for amplified audio equipment. This Sonos Port features easy-to-use controls so you can adjust volume, bass and treble, and the Ethernet port supports high-speed connections.
 

Currently have 8 sonos speakers in our home... until recently i could access my ipod thru my computer, they changed that with a recent software update and i am unable to access my ipod anymore... can i access my ipod thru the Sono Port?

If you connect the ipod from the ipod's headphone jack to the RCA inputs on the back of the Sonos Port it would work.

I bought three of these cameras but my electrician said he cannot splice into hardwired electrical nor does he recommend feeding through wall into an interior outlet. How are others mounting? I feel like exterior outlets would be unsightly.

I am not an electrician, but I assume he doesn't want to feed it into the interior outlet because the outlet isn't a GFCI outlet. You could always add a new outlet or switch a current one to a GFCI outlet.
