I've been using Velop for a few weeks, and overall I am very pleased. I work from home, so bandwidth and speed are critical. Communication between nodes was problematic during setup, so I ultimately hardwired each node to ethernet (one on each floor). With three nodes hardwired coverage is very good and network speed has improved significantly vs my old router/repeater configuration.
The initial setup was not as easy as promised and required a lengthy call with Linksys support and multiple workarounds (trying different nodes as the parent and upgrades to the firmware prior to setting up each node). This and the spotty communication between nodes are the primary reason for a 4-star rather than 5-star review.
I do like the router app and would also prefer a more robust web UI than is provided. Ultimately, I'm glad I made the investment and would recommend this product.
Experience the ultimate convenience with the Lutron Caseta Wireless dimmer and Pico remote control. The wireless dimmer gives you the ability to set the right light for any activity whether it's reading, watching TV, entertaining or having a casual dinner. Control the lights from anywhere in the room by using the Pico remote control either in your hand, on a tabletop pedestal (sold separately) or by mounting the remote directly to the wall. You can even use the Pico remote to control the lights from your car as you arrive home. The remote lets you turn lights ON/OFF as well as brighten or dim them. With the Lutron Smart Bridge and app, you can control your Caseta Wireless dimmers with your Smartphone from anywhere. The dimmer works up to 600-Watt of incandescent or halogen and 150-Watt of dimmable LED or dimmable CFL.

I'm still in the process of installing Caseta dimmers throughout my home, but I'm glad I've made the investment. The hub setup was problematic and required tech support to resolve. However, once resolved the system has performed flawlessly. The dimmers are relatively easy to install and connect easily to the Caseta bridge. The ability to use Homekit's rooms and scenes with Siri integration is a nice plus (that is, when Siri correctly interprets your instruction). Overall very pleased. My neighbors have been so impressed that they have decided to add Caseta to their homes as well.

Although the setup wasn't quite as intuitive as the Link, the startup and shutdown macros aloe much better control. The eight device limitation given today's smart homes and connected devices is disappointing. However, the hub connected flawlessly with Lutron Caseta and Nest products. 4 stars due to lack of HomeKit and Siri integration.
