Given the looks of this speaker my hopes were not high - but it sounds good. And a no-fuss Bluetooth connection. We now have 2.

Anymore I feel that Ram is as important as any other stat when purchasing a PC, given the size of most programs today. This 12GB of Ram gives you the power to have multiple programs running smoothly.

The hue family of apps allows this to work like a timer - I have it come on 30 min before sunset, and off at 11:00. We can also override that by talking to our amazon echo. Smart home on a budget.

Bad design choice, but better than nothing
on December 14, 2015
Posted by: TomSyntex

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Tap switch is built around an odd system where three smaller buttons are connected with a single large button. The end result is that hitting one of the smaller buttons (labeled 2, 3, or 4) has a reasonable probability of having the switch register that as a press on the large button (labeled 1).
I bought two of these switches, and I noticed that one switch has this issue a lot more than the other (both have different "DC" model numbers on the back).
Also to note is that the switch still requires a network connection to work, so you cannot use it on a Hue Go away from your home network after registering functions, for example.

A beautifully simple addition to any Hue setup

The Hue Go relies on the standard RGB color gamut, so unlike the standard bulbs it will be able to show the colors green and cyan accurately, but consequently it will not be able to match the standard house light color temperature range as well as the bulbs.
A button below the Hue Go allows it to be used without the need for an app or bridge - several color changing patterns are available (including a neat candle simulator) and you can also select a solid color.
It works very well as a lamp, particularly on a nightstand so you can use it with either the button or your phone while you go to sleep or wake up. When unplugged it also makes a great centerpiece for the dinner table.

A durable wheel for pro sim racers

Verified Purchase:Yes
I ultimately chose this over the Thrustmaster T300 due to reliability concerns, and it works well so far after one month with the PS3 and Gran Turismo 6.
Force feedback is not that strong, but it's smoother and MUCH quieter than the Driving Force GT. The LED shift indicator lights do not work with the PS3 games I tried (GT6, F1 2012, and DiRT 3), and neither do any stick shifter attachments, but it does have support for both PS4 and PC.
Pedals are high in quality but the brake pedal is VERY stiff and requires quite a bit of foot force to push it down for full braking power.
I also think the "Options" and "Share" buttons could be better placed as I occasionally hit the PS button on accident instead of the "option" button when trying to pause a race.
Despite these minor issues, this is still a really good wheel for those who want to ready themselves for a PS4 OR currently have a PS4.

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.
