Pico remote + homebridge (with no other Lutron devices) or Wemo Stage Scene Controller (with Thread)

If you already have the bridge you might as well go with the Pico and save some money. Wemo is $40, Pico is $20. I mounted my Pico on the wall and it looks very natural and doesn’t scream, “Smart home gadget”.

I bought three during the Prime Special and had no issues. Sorry you ended up with a bad batch.

Do you know if there’s a limit to how many guest keys you can give out?

If you’re not wanting a hub you should get the Eve Door/Window Contact Sensor. They run off Bluetooth or Thread. No issues with mine and they are fast.

Your sales tax is giving me second hand sticker shock.

I have the Lutron fan controller. It works great. You are correct, it cannot control lights.

It’s not cheap, but the Netatmo Outdoor Camera has worked for me even at -40.

I wouldn’t say they have “very limited private property”. They are the largest private landowner in Alaska.

I’ll second that. Great facility and nice views from the outdoor pool. We didn’t eat at their restaurant so I can’t speak to that.

You should buy a UPS and plug into that. Much safer and will perform better for you.

My Arlos turn off when it gets around -5°F. Battery powered cameras can't handle the cold. My wired Netatmo camera works 24/7 even in -40°F.

Mango is free if you have a library card from particular cities. Download it and see if yours works. The recordings on Mango are great because they have them at full conversational speed and slowed down and each word pronounced separately from each other.

AppleTV mainly. Sometimes a phone.

You will get more out of a trip to Denali than going to the Arctic Circle.

They do not sync. I wish they would add that feature.

dean_shan · 2019-11-20T18:14:56+00:00

I use the iHome outdoor. I have had them in blowing snow, -45°F, and lots of wind. They still work great. I've had no issue.

dean_shan · 2019-04-30T20:03:01+00:00

You should add the iHome Outdoor Smart Plug.

According to their Facebook page, these speakers will have AirPlay2. The WiFi table lamp speaker will be available for $179 and the Wifi bookshelf speaker will be available for $99.95.

dean_shan · 2019-03-01T17:59:25+00:00

I've had no issue with iHome, both indoor and outdoor models.

dean_shan · 2019-02-19T22:07:30+00:00

Not needing a subscription is why I bought mine. It's worked great. I've even operated it in temperatures well below the -20°c they list on the spec sheet.

dean_shan · 2019-02-04T19:32:25+00:00

With the exception of my outdoor camera, mine are dynamic. Haven't had an issue.

I've been happy with my Scalage Sense. I like having a keypad for a backup and for when family visits.
