Nest Protect reliably detects and alerts you to the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide in your home. The alarm speaks to you in a calm, clear, human voice, telling you the location of the danger. It also provides smartphone alerts and battery status updates to help protect your home. This hardwired version is suitable for homes with existing hardwired smoke or CO detectors.

Love the Nest Protect
on October 13, 2017
Posted by: mikey1212
from Bixby, OK
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love my Nest Protects. I just moved and replaced all of the existing smoke alarms with Nest Protect. I had them in my old house and wasn't sure if I was going to put them into my new house until I got woken up at 3:00AM by a faulty smoke alarm setting off all the others in the house. This reminded how much I appreciate the Nest Protect monitoring capabilities and ease of self-testing. While the end result of monitoring for smoke and carbon monoxide might be the same, the ease of use and remote monitoring capabilities that it provides make it well worth it.

This was very easy to install, connected right up to my Ring setup, and works just like advertised. Now my kids can't claim they didn't hear the doorbell ring.

Easy to use and reliable control

Works great with my Xbox One. My old remote died and I picked this one up as an impulse buy. It is easy to use and has already survived being dropped on the hardwood floor several times.

Very solid lock for the price
on January 6, 2017
Posted by: mikey1212
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using my Yale Touchscreen deadbolt with Z-wave for almost 2 months now and I've been extremely pleased with it. I replaced a standard deadbolt and installation was a breeze. One thing to watch for is if your current deadbolt sticks then you might have problems with the powered lock being able to close all the way. I had to grind out the faceplate on the doorframe for a smooth action on the bolt. Programming is simple and I have integrated it with a Samsung Smarthings hub. It all works seamlessly. My only disappointment with the lock is that you can't control the codes remotely and you can't customize the auto-lock time interval. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

Good receptacle layout
on April 8, 2016
Posted by: mikey1212
Verified Purchase:Yes
I looked at several units before settling on this one. The price was attractive and it's small enough to fit under my desk easily. I also picked it because the layout of the receptacles are spaced nicely allowing me to plug in a lot of different sized plugs side by side.

Works well with Surface Pro 4 dock
on April 8, 2016
Posted by: mikey1212
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this adapter for use with my new Surface Pro 4 and the Pro 4 dock. It works well. The only down side is that the cable portion is rather stiff and it doesn't bend easily when I move the dock around.

It's a cable
on April 8, 2016
Posted by: mikey1212
Verified Purchase:Yes
Typically there isn't much to say about a cable. The nice thing about this one is the guard over the Connector tab to keep it from snagging when you pull it through a nest of cords. I'm using it for a 1GB Ethernet connection and I'm getting the expected throughput so it's doing its job.

Adjust your sprinkler system from anywhere with the Rachio smart sprinkler controller. This controller lets you monitor and manage your sprinkler activity from any Android or iOS device or laptop. Adjustments are automatically made based on local weather and the season. Get constant updates that help save water with the Rachio smart sprinkler controller.
 

Is the Rachio good to use as a replacement controller to an existing irrigation system? Is the average homeowner able to install this controller with little difficulty?

I replaced my existing sprinkler controller with the Rachio 16 zone system about a month ago. The replacement took me about 15 minutes as you just have to disconnect the wires from the existing system, take it off the wall, put the Rachio on the wall, plug the wires back in, and plug it into power. I recommend either labeling the wires or taking a picture of them before removing them from the existing system. It took me longer to get the app setup since I had to figure out how to answer the questions on soil type, type of grass, shade, etc. that it asks for each zone to customize the watering schedule. Overall I have been very happy with it since then and even use the Alexa integration to turn a zone on to encourage my dogs to come in from the back yard.
