Secure your home with this silver August Wi-Fi Smart Lock. Compatibility with popular virtual assistants lets you lock and unlock your door using voice commands, and the supported iOS and Android app offers easy remote operation. This August Wi-Fi Smart Lock has an auto-unlock function that automatically undoes the deadbolt when you come home.

The August WiFi Smart Lock is simple to install and works for the most part. I’ve had really spotty issues with some of it’s smart features since I have had it though. These may be things that can get ironed out over time through software patches or they just randomly start working like they have for me.
To install the lock you must download the app to a smart device and there you get step by step directions, with pictures. It really is as simple as removing two screws, putting the right adapter on the lock, putting the screws back in and attaching the lock. To use the door sense feature you have a hidden option, which requires some wood work, or the external sensor, which is like that of post install security systems. Then continuing the directions you add the lock through BlueTooth to your device and can connect it to 2.4 Ghz WiFi from there.
Upon initial setup, everything seemed to work. I received notifications and using the app I could lock/unlock the door and see if it is opened or closed. Additional features in the app allow for setup of auto lock and unlock and various notifications like if the door is opened manually, left ajar, unlocked by a specific user or auto-locked. Also, some features may not be visible unless you are connected to the device via BlueTooth at that time, like calibrate and factory reset.
The auto lock feature works every time the door is shut, if it is not shut completely it will still attempt to lock, but give an audible alert if it fails. The auto unlock feature is supposed to react by geofencing after returning from greater than 200ft from the location that you set. However, it has only worked after I manually unlocked, walked inside, then auto-locked the door, for it to then unlock itself and properly once when I returned from a long overnight trip. When using the app, I have had it not respond on WiFi and only unlock if close enough to get a BlueTooth signal. This is with the WiFi router in the same room as the lock.
Notifications have been hit or miss. Might get them within seconds of the door being unlocked, or never. On my overnight trip, my door was manually unlocked twice and never received any notifications. Then, when checking the log it took several hours before it showed up, the screenshot attached. So, wouldn’t rely on this as a security notification device.
This also works with voice devices, like Alexa and Google. However, with my Google Home it did not work completely at first. It would lock and give status, but for unlock it asks for a PIN. The PIN is set through the app, but spoken out loud for the speaker. For example I would set 1234 and when asked to unlock, Google would ask for the PIN, but then return an answer like “123 4th street is 2.3 miles from your current location.” After a day or so, I tried again and it works as intended. Albeit a bit slow at times, it has worked now, hands free.
So, in the end, this isn’t a bad device. Maybe someone with an iPhone will have better success than myself with a Samsung Note 10+. I just don’t like how spotty its smart features have been and due to that the added delay of getting into my house.

I haven’t had a window unit in quite some time. However, the house I now live in has one room that just can’t maintain temperature due to the equipment in it. Though, still as heavy as I remember them, I was surprised at just how small it was. There is some assembly required, such as screwing on the top mounting rail and attaching the side curtains, but pretty simple.
Shortly after getting it fitted into the window we had it powered on and chilling the room. You can manage with the buttons on the front panel, with the included remote with braille, or with the Comfort GE appliance app. The app guides you through connecting the appliance to your WiFi. Once set you can now check the status of the unit from anywhere, change the settings and monitor its power usage. You can also set routines such as setting on/off times for times per day or enable location assist where it will change state when you leave the area.
I do wish you could have an external thermostat with it, especially since it can connect to WiFi, as there were times that it felt warmer than what the thermostat was reading which meant it took a little longer for the AC to kick on. But, when it does kick on, it is quick to drop the room temp.
One of the advertising points is air direction control, the fins that are used in this to “direct” the air are smaller than the ones in my car vents. It doesn’t really direct the air. However, the fan does push a fair amount of air for circulation though.
Overall, it is working as I expect it to while providing smart features for monitor and control.

Entry level gaming keyboard
on April 17, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This is the budget level keyboard that has many of the features that higher priced gaming keyboards provide. With the SteelSeries Engine software installed you can customize the 10 RGB zones for your illumination desire. The lights are bright, but kind of broad, so you can’t make individual keys light up like the SteelSeries Apex 5 or Apex 7, but can create shifting, steady, breathing or even audio visualizer color patterns. Just a word of advice, I didn’t realize it at first, but you have to select the zones you want to change for them to take effect, then save it to keep it that way.
The keys are soft and quiet and since it uses a rubber membrane it gains water resistance. With the Steelseries Engine software you can also configure each key to be a different key, function or macro. With the Profile key combo you would think you can easily switch between the different configurations you design, but you can’t, not yet at least. You can however use the SteeleSeries icon in the tray tool and select the various configs that you set in the Engine software so that you can have a different color background that coordinates with your programmed key functions that might have macros assigned or such. The macro record and brightness keys work as described though. Just make sure to go in and give the macro a new name in the macro editor as you won’t be able to assign it with the generic name it creates.
The added media button is a simple way to play/pause any media player as well as to quickly adjust the main system volume. The ability to route the cable through three different areas is something I forgot keyboards used to have as most of them now just have a static cable out the back. This is nice for anyone that wants to keep cables neatly to one side of the desk. The magnetic wrist rest appears to be made of the same material as the body of the keyboard. I wouldn’t say it is soft, like I think of a gel wrist rest, but it is helpful to give that added edge.
Overall, if you desire an illuminated gaming keyboard without paying the premium, this is a nice one to have.

Pulled the stains right up
on March 16, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
Had a couple spots on carpets in the house that were either from spills or the dog that seemed to never go away. Even tried a small carpet cleaner and the spot remained. However, with this Oxy tough stain remover and 10 minutes, I just dabbed it up with a towel. You can see it working as you are spraying it. Only thing is I wish they used the bottle design like some other cleaners so that you can tilt it and spray.

![H&R Block - Premium & Business Tax Software - Windows [Digital]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6386/6386087_sd.jpg)

Complex taxes a little more simplified
on February 6, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The H&R Block Premium & Business edition is perfect for anyone with a small business that needs to create their own tax forms, like W2 and 1099 or partnership/corporation/nonprofit returns and may need to file multiple personal tax returns. The software installs two separate programs, H&R Block 2019 and H&R Block Business 2019. Once installed they both will want to check for updates, which is highly recommended. Both have a very similar style and look as they guide you and ask questions throughout the forms. Many fields are direct and simple, like name and address, but even on these pages they have helpful information on the side. In the Business software under the simplified questions and answers you can go directly to the Government instructions if you want to see the full language, the personal tax return software keeps it simple and provides links to the help center if you want more details.
Several fields as you are guided along have a “Learn More” option giving more details ranging from a single sentence that is almost as vague as the item itself to more details that you could imagine for that single question. For the most part it answered my own curiosity of what could be entered for that particular field.
Included with your activation you get 5 federal e-file returns and $9.99 for any after that. However, you can use the software to prepare and print as many paper versions as you want. The price includes 1 state download and it still costs $19.95 to e-file for each state. If you need a different state for any other return, it costs $39.95, but you now have that downloaded and can use it for any other returns you prepare. Essentially with those costs you have $90 of e-file and state forms available, not considering how much help you get in putting everything together and online support. However, if you don’t need the added business forms or don’t plan on filing multiple federal returns, other editions may suit you better.
Provided you followed all of the guidance throughout the software and entered information correctly, H&R Block has their Maximum Refund Guarantee where if you find tax software that gives a bigger refund, they will refund your fees. They also have their free in-person audit support should the IRS or your state office ever decide to look into your claims for audit.
Having used their online filing a couple times, everything is very familiar. However, they are two separate systems and this software keeps everything local. So as with any tax, financial and personal information it is upon you to keep it safe and backed up.

A mouse with a thousand buttons
on January 22, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
A mouse with a thousand buttons, or so it feels. With the ability to program 17 buttons in three different profiles you can have all kinds of options. Each profile saves the specific button actions, the lighting for four different zones and the different DPI settings. The lighting is kind of essential to help tell what profile you are on and you can set the color for the DPI settings. The DPI is insane from as low as 100 all the way up to 18,000 which I don’t know how anyone can control that slight of a movement.
All of these settings require that you have the iCUE software installed, but you can save the current profile settings, which are instantly applied to the mouse, to one of the on board hardware profiles. This will allow you to use the mouse on any computer with the settings you prefer without having to run the iCUE software on it. The instant apply is kind of annoying at times, especially if you want to change the right/left click functions, as they are required to be applied to a different button before you switch them, or you happen to change something accidentally and have to use this new setting to fix it. The ability to remap the buttons ranges from assigning a simple keyboard stroke to complex macros. You may spend a lot of time in here just trying to get the mouse the way you want it.
Another customization feature is the ability to slide the 12 button keypad forwards or backwards a bit with the included allen key. Having this feature makes it so much easier to get the most function out of the keypad. The alternating texture of the keys also helps in finding the keys without looking at them, but that takes a little learning to get used to. With them being lit it isn’t hard to get a quick glance and catch the numbers. I still find myself bumping the wrong button from time to time though.
The performance options and the surface calibration also allow you to get the best out of your play space. Say for instance you use some ceramic feet on your mouse, but had poor motion, you can run the surface calibration and the mouse now reacts properly to that lift distance.
This mouse can be a game changer but it does take some time to customize and familiarize yourself with it.

Decent sound, PC and PS4 only*
on January 17, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
The sound quality on these is pretty decent and you can get some ear tickling bass. The ear pads are large and soft enough to avoid contact with most of my ear, but the material isn’t very breathable so sweat can build up. The microphone is pretty standard for headsets around this range and was instantly picked up by Windows 10 and PS4. It is kind of disappointing that there aren’t any other input options such as Bluetooth or 3.5mm wired as this only works with the included USB dongle. Which out of curiosity worked with a USB-C to USB-A adapter on my Samsung Note 10+ but will not work on an Xbox One. There is also a small rubber cap and foam cover for the removable microphone which both can super easily be lost.
I have no idea what makes these “PRO” compared to the HS70 SE as everything about them looks exactly the same. The 7.1 surround is just like Pro-logic where it will simulate positional sound, but actually place sounds where there aren’t supposed to be any when you have an isolated sound. Example being right channel sound will be heard in the left ear slightly. Besides, it is software driven and not something unique to the headset as you have to have iCue software installed and running for it to work. You can get a better effect when you enable spatial sound like Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos for headphones.
As for iCue, it is a shame that it does not save any settings to the headset, but completely runs through the software. Even settings like the voice prompt and EQ are not saved to the headset. When not hooked to the computer with iCue you only get beeping tones for power, mic on/off and auto shutdown. The auto shutdown is by audio, not movement, so if you are sitting in a quiet moment for 5 minutes you will hear a tone, as if the battery is running low, and it will be a couple more times until they shut off unless sound from the device is played or the power button pressed to cancel. With iCue running you can change this duration and a voice will tell you that it is shutting down.
I’m not saying these are bad headphones, I just feel that the PRO term feels like there should be more.

Clear defining audio, limited options
on January 14, 2020
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
I have two entertainment receivers for providing multi-channel audio and video passthrough. They are great for listening to Dolby and DTS surround movies. I’d even say they have been pretty good with music. However, using my same speakers and this Arcam HDA SA20 I am amazed at the clarity of audio that I was missing. Flipping between my systems on the same song, from the same source I could hear notes and separation in the sound that I had never heard before. I played some 90’s alternative grunge that has a lot of electric guitar and sound on top of the lyrics. Although I could hear the song fine on my other systems, there was obvious distortion that was not there on the SA20.
However, this was at normal to loud listening range, at about 50 out of 99. When I cranked it above 60 the distortion from the SA20 was even worse. At first I thought it was my speakers, though they are rated for 150 watts and the SA20 is only 90 watts per channel. I tried my other speakers and the same thing. However, I was using a digital input when I noticed this. If I used an analog input, avoiding the digital analog converter, I could crank it all the way up to 99 and not get the same decibel or distortion as I was getting at 60 with digital input. I don’t intend to listen to it that loud all the time, but is kind of disappointing that there is so much more possible power for it to sound over driven by the DAC.
As I mentioned with my other receivers, which were only a fraction of the cost, they have so many other input and output options. This one is only a 2 channel amplifier that is really limited in its capabilities. Figure the least it could do is stream from the network with its wired network connection. However, that is not the case and the network connection only allows you to use the Arcam Control app to adjust volume, balance, and the settings. The USB port is for firmware updates only, while the app can show you the version is 1.3 but using the menu on screen shows 1.0.3. So, at first I thought the 1.0.9 update was older than 1.3, but realized that there wasn’t anything higher.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I haven’t had a single stereo amplifier since my parents old stack back in the 80’s. The audio clarity at “normal” listening range of the SA20 is defining compared to my cheaper systems. I just feel that something at this price point in 2020 should offer so much more. Especially for something that is still made in China.

Record audio using your smartphone with this Samson Satellite USB/iOS broadcast microphone. Two 16mm condenser capsules capture clear, accurate audio, and the three pickup patterns let you record detailed audio in a variety of situations. This Samson Satellite USB/iOS broadcast microphone offers easy portability and includes USB and Lightning cables for connecting to a range of devices.
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
This Samson Satellite microphone has the classic look of a broadcast microphone but the plug-n-play of a modern USB device. On a Windows 10 device it was as simple as plug it in, open recording software and I was up and running. The audio was clear, sharp and 1000 times better than the built in microphone on my laptop. When I hooked it up to my desktop computer and used headphones to monitor, I ended up getting garbled sound and a flashing red light. However, the manual actually has three pages of a step by step guide on what this is and how to fix it and it was a mismatch in sample rates as described in the manual, Once that was cleared everything worked as intended.
The pickup patterns that can be switched on the front were surprisingly accurate. I was spinning the mic around just to confirm the patterns and anything not in that particular pattern was well dampened. Though convenient and prevents the noise of a switch, the mute button is touch sensitive, so changing the pattern usually meant accidentally changing the mute as well, so be mindful of the LED color, yellow is muted.
The legs give the ability to angle the microphone, but only to a point as it will begin to slip under its own weight. You also need fingernails or a tool to get them out as they fold away to give a slim profile, which is nice if you have a ⅝” boom to use instead.
As for sound, I compared this to a couple other microphones and the quality was pretty good. Background noise was minimal as the pickup patterns help reduce sounds not in that pattern, omni-directional gets the most as it is intended to get sound all around. The distance from the mic is really noticeable though. Up close, under a foot, voice was accurate, clear, loud. But, get out about arm's length, 3ft, or the center of a table and everything sounded so distant. The Samson Satellite also picks up any bit of a breeze, so if you have a fan blowing on your or are a breathy talker, you will get a lot of popping.
If you want to get more complex with recording, MOTU Digital Performer Lite is available for download and registers using the serial number of the microphone. Like any editing software though, it can be a bit difficult to understand, but had a fair bit of options for a Lite version of the $499 software.

Fraction of a penny per page, slow but detailed
on December 16, 2019
Posted by: DavidJr
from Roanoke, VA
One thing about printers is having to replace the cartridges, which some can cost more than the printer itself. Recently several printer manufacturers have come out with models similar to this HP Smart Tank printer where you just replace the ink, instead of the full cartridge. However, this is the first one that I have seen that you still install a cartridge, just the difference is that it refills from the tanks. The cartridge looks like any other printer cartridge for the most part, with the built in printhead. So, should anything happen to print head quality, this is a part that could be user replaced. I don’t know the actual milliliter capacity of these cartridges, but you can see in the picture the comparison of the ink bottles and tell that it is going to be able to fill it up several times over.
Setting up the printer does require removing some transportation parts, installing the cartridge/printheads and filling the tanks for the first time. The process is relatively mess free, as I found it messier to peel the safety seal of the bottles than anything else. The instructions are simple and you have multiple ways of connecting to this printer. One thing I have seen an issue with other printers is that they only have 2.4 GHz wireless, which can be difficult in some areas. This HP printer also has 5GHz, as well as USB, Ethernet and WiFi-Direct. You can also use other features to print such as AirPrint, Google Cloud or HP ePrint which gives you an email address to send attachments to be printed directly to the printer. By default, this feature is enabled with a ridiculously hard to remember email which can only be changed through your HP account once this printer is added to it.
The directions tell you to get the HP software, drivers or app. However, I was able to print from my Android phone and computers on my network without any additional installation. Once installed, the HP Smart App on Windows 10 instantly found my printer and provided a simple interface to manage the printer. The HP Smart App on the Android phone required that I install the HP Print Service Engine, even though it worked without either apps to start with. However, the interface and options are the same as the PC app. For full feature control of the printer, the best way is to connect to it through a browser using the IP.
Print quality, when set to best, is really good. I printed several photos and compared to other inkjet photos I have printed, I was amazed at how colorful and glossy they came out. The only downside of higher quality is speed, especially mixed color pages which get 3-5 pages per minute, doing color copies at 2 PPM with default settings. Scanning even seemed slow, especially if you decided to crank the DPI up. Which is maxed at 300dpi for the feeder and 1200 for flatbed scanning. Another downside to the 651, though it comes with an automatic document feeder for the scanner, does not have an automatic duplexer. So, double sided printing requires manually returning pages to the feed tray and hitting continue on the computer, not even the digital display of the printer.
If you aren’t concerned with speed or duplexing, but know you print a lot, maybe a mix of photo and documents,there is no comparing a fraction of a penny per page in ink. With black claiming about 6,000 pages a bottle, compared to XL cartridges that come in at less than 1,000 and cost twice as much, it’s hard to beat. Especially when it comes to color cartridges that typically handle far less, these bottles claim up to ~8,000. I’m not going to test that theory any time soon, but with a fair amount of documents, photos and full page photos the tanks look to have barely moved.

Once you connect the Gear VR to the phone it starts a download for the software. There appears to be no other way to initiate the install. Once the Oculus software is installed, games and applications can be purchased through the application or from inside the store while wearing the device.

By Donna
Wasn't told at time of purchase that certain phones were required to use this device. After purchase was when this was discovered. During this time we purchased a new home and was moving. After the move, tried to return the item because I didn't want to purchase a new phone. The only way the store would accept this return was to give me a gift card. I didn't want a gift card that I would most likely not use. Not happy with this policy at all. Also have made posts to FB in regards to your policy. I will not EVER enter your store again or make another purchase from you online. This is NOT how you treat a customer and expect more business from them.

Upgrade your home office with this Dell Inspiron desktop. Its Intel Core i7 processor and 12GB of RAM let you multitask seamlessly, and the 1TB hard drive offers plenty of storage for photos and games. This Dell Inspiron desktop has a 27-inch FHD wide-angle touch screen display for watching your favorite videos.
Has anyone played any games on this unit ? I know it’s not a gaming system , however just wondering if anyone has tried any games.
For an example, I tried to play Battlefield V, which I was surprised that it loaded, but quickly crashes. I kind of expected this as their minimum requirements are for a higher graphics card, which this one has an integrated Intel UHD 630. Games like Sims 4 and other less intensive games work just fine. With the HDMI input, you can always just hook up a PS/Xbox.

Listen to your TV or music wirelessly without disturbing others.
Can you have 2 sets of headphones working on the same tv ?
You cannot pair another pair of headphones with the base station. However, you could use a second set with the RCA cables. There is an IN and OUT on the base station, so you could essentially take the audio from your device, like a TV, to one base station using RCA cables and OUT to the the IN of the other base station.

Samsung's website indicates this TV comes with "OneRemote" technology that automatically detects and controls your connected devices and content with no manual programming required. What are the limitations? What types of devices does this work with?
The One Remote will automatically work with devices that it identifies through HDMI, especially other Samsung products. However, if it does not recognize the device and gives a generic device, you can manually set it to possibly provide some functionality. Most common cable/satellite boxes, all in one sound systems, media players and DVD/Blu-ray players will get basic functionality such as volume, play/pause while some use the colored button function.
