Samsung SmartThings Hub: Use your compatible smartphone as a remote for your home's smart thermostat, locks, lights and other smart devices when you download the SmartThings app and connect to this hub, which offers up to 100' range to reach smart devices throughout your home. A battery backup provides peace of mind.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this so I could bring a WeMo switch, Leviton switch, Schlage lock, and my alexa all together. It does this quite well as alexa can see everything on the network and I can control everything either by voice or through the smart things app.

Nice Lights

Purchased this because it came with the hub. I bought this alongside an Alexa unit just so I could say "Alexa turn on the bed lights" and it works amazingly. Lights are dimmable and you can set the color from day light to soft white and any color in between from within the Hue app.

Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

Purchased the Alexa to act as a vocal head to my smart home setup. It does this very well. She will tell you the weather on command and plays music too. Can also act as a bluetooth speaker.

Pretty good smart switch

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this to pair it with the home automation setup that I'm doing for my parents. Switch works well, but make sure that there is an available neutral wire in the wall before you start. My original reason for going with WeMo was because of the fact that it was supposed to be paired with the Ring Doorbell Pro that was also setup. The way ring makes it sound is that the light should be fully controllable from the Ring app, but you can't. I'm not sure if this is Belkin's fault or Ring's but either way that's why I'm knocking off a star.

It's a logitech wireless mouse... why are you reading these? Go buy one already if you're looking for a wireless mouse for home or work use.

Love it

I came to this after having an LG HBS-750 for about a year and never really liked it. Felt like it was choking me. Started looking at the Voyager Legend and read reviews as well as watched the manufacturer product demos and read the spec sheet. Needless to say I was sold. 3 mics for noise canceling, I smoke and live right next to a busy Highway so when I got out for a smoke during a conference call and no one on the line can hear the traffic, that says good job. Another nice thing is that I have 2 phones; one for personal and one for business. This headset can connect to both phones at the same time, it's also selling me on windows phone features as a side bet. While I haven't been able to hands free place a call yet that might be attributed to the fact that both my phones are hooked up at the same time. I haven't tested otherwise. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a solid headset for business.

Will the colored phillips hue led bulbs work with this hub or would I need the colored set.

All the Hue hubs are the same, you can get this and add color bulbs later.

Can I switch from 2700K, 4100K and 6500k light color? Mostly I am looking for 4100K light color. 2700k (warm white) is too yellowish for e

You get a full color spectrum from soft white to day light hues. I'm no pro on the "k" schemes for lights but you should be able to do 4103k if you wanted to, based on my observations.

I can't decide: Go with Z-wave, Zigbee, WeMo or "Smart things"--How to decide?

It would be great if a pro in the home automation Biz without affiliation with these players would give us all Pros and Cons of all these competing network systems so we don't end up with wifi controllers for every different light and appliance in the house.
"The Hub contains ZigBee and Z-Wave radios, and is also compatible with IP-accessible devices" that is a quote off the smart things website. I've personally installed a smart things hub for my parents and can confirm that all of that is true. While you'll still need/want a hub for other devices in the home, such as for Hue bulbs, for the most part the smart things hub just brings everything together very well. Mind you won't need another dedicated zigbee or zwave hub anywhere else. Hope this helps, I'm not a pro yet but I am building a business around this stuff.

skips

I bought a mouse pad at the same time I bought the mouse. It skips. Tried it on wife lap top, same thing diff pad. only way to make it work is to put tan paper as a pad. any ideas?
Sounds like a defective mouse to me. If you still have the receipt I'd back and either return for a different model or exchange it for a replacement if you can.
