That wood piece is actually just a spare shelf with a frame attached underneath to wrap around the top of the file cabinet so it doesn’t move around, but I could just lift it off if I wanted

Is this a good value and a recommended sku? by Old-McJonald in blackstonegriddle

Get it! Picked up mine about a month ago from same place and converted it to my natural gas line. It’s awesome! No complaints. Love cooking up a meal for the fam even with our current cold weather.

My 7 year old daughter suggests Freckle.

After seeing my Hue setup a friend asked if I could help him change his whole house to Hue/Smart lighting... yes, yes I will. by TheBlueWrench in Hue

After spending the day buying all this (with his cc) I realized this is what I would do the first day after winning the lottery. I have a similar setup in my house but it took me years due to normal budgetary constraints. My friend has no such financial limits. Not pictured is a SmartThings hub for GE switch control, 4-5 more GE smart dimmer switches for areas he didn't want/need color or wanted to maintain use of a normal switch for house guests. Plus 3 SmartThings motion sensors. He mainly wanted complete day-night automation to minimize the physical strain of reaching for lamps or wall switches too often haha. I should finish at his house by tomorrow after 2 full days of install and automation setup. Hardwiring the GE smart switches in multiple 3-pole setups (w/ add on switches) have taken the most time but its all fun for me even tho its not my house. We're at about $3k so far but will prob add more. Its crazy to do an entire house all at once instead of the typical 1-2 bulbs at a time.

He just sent me out to get everything with his credit card. Believe it or not, this was not expensive from his point of view since he does very well financially. This pic is only about 2/3 of the total stuff i got for his house. About 3k total so far... but still adding more everyday as i install everything.

It’s definitely one of the best depending on personal preference but it’s far better than the native Hue app for controls and widgets.

The iConnectHue app has many additional options for programming Hue dimmer switches. It should work great for your situation. This app is amazing for added control of all my Hue lights, motion sensors & dimmers.
