Great case for wireless charging
on October 14, 2017

from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
About 15 days of use so far - no issues and even survived a fall onto a metal surface, keeping my phone protected. Wireless charging works well, too and is the reason why I got this case.
You press a button to enable/disable the charging feature with this case, which is useful to prevent it from constantly charging the phone battery when you don't want it to.
One thing to note - it requires a small extension cord (included with this case) in order to use most wired headphones as they cannot reach the phone headphone jack with the case on.

A Blaze without the bulk?
on September 17, 2017
Posted by: TomSyntex
from Houston, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first fitness-focused wearable, and after nearly a month of use, it still works very well with no issues.
I was torn between this and the FitBit Blaze; I ultimately got the Charge 2 instead because it is cheaper, lighter, smaller, and (in my opinion) easier to use and more comfortable for sleep while still having all the Blaze's main features.
The heart rate tracker works well, but it's most accurate while holding still and placed a few inches above the wrist. Compared to the Galaxy S7 phone and a previous breathing tracker I owned for a few months, the step counts are for the most part the same. Though the default rubber wrist band is comfortable enough, I do plan on getting both a leather band for work as well as a vented band for sport use. Battery life on average is about five days, but it takes only two hours for a full charge.

Love the touch features

For me it's very convenient to listen to voices and control music playback and volume with the touch controls on the right earcup. Noise cancelling is impressive, though I don't notice much difference in effectiveness with the optimizer feature.

Sound pretty good given the price, but most valuable are the 3 ear bud sizes for a proper fit, not always found at this price point.

Works great, minor issues.

To incorporate this switch into a home network it must be within a few feet of the smart hub. So I was forced to run an extension cord tapped into the live wires in the wall switch location to the new switch and place it next to the router to activate before making the permanent installation.
Once that was done, everything worked like a charm. But the activation range is way shorter than the operating range. I have no idea why, but be aware.

Locks works exactly as described. I have only 2 issues. The lock must be activated within feet of the smart hub to work. So before you install on the door, activate close to the hub, then install. The other issue is the auto-lock feature, which I use and have active. But there are times I would like to turn it off (parties with people coming and going) and the only way to do that is to allen wench off the interior cover to flip a switch. Why could that not be de-activatable from your phone?
But looks good and is very convenient to never need a house key.

Can I set it so the door automatically locks after two minutes? We are looking for an electronic lock for our bed and breakfast with an automatic locking feature to keep people who don't have reservations from walking in.... any suggestions?

No. It's either 30 seconds, or nothing. And a few times it re-locked after about 10 sec.

can these be used in outdoor light fixtures?

Should be fine if not exposed directly to the elements, but remember to stay within your wi-fi range.
