    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, czcams.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

    Hi guys. My google home was never connecting. I thought it was because my apt building wifi was bad but I did a factory reset and it helped. In case someone is facing this issue. To factory reset just press the tiny Botton for 10 secs on the device. And then just restart the device.
