TP-Link HS100 Smart Plug (2-Pack), Wi-Fi, Works with Alexa, Control Your Devices from anywhere (HS100 KIT)

By

Sadly I'm seldom grinning when I review a tech product.  Mostly because of the frequency with which they are difficult to set up and have abysmal instructions.  Wow, was I surprised with this product.  I have that giddy smile that accompanies a successful product test.  This works GREAT!  It configured easily and worked as advertised.   It is annoying that I can seldom report that but in this case I am happy to inform the world and TP-Link, JOB WELL DONE.   I scanned the QRC code on the quick start guide, downloaded the software into my phone, set the plug up and tested it in less time that it will take you to read this review.  What is even better is that the configuration holds even if you unplug the smart plug and plug it in elsewhere in range of your network.  Frankly that flexibility makes the product far more valuable as there isn't a need for constant re-setting the software.

Even better is that this product interfaces with the Amazon Echo.   I am impatiently waiting for delivery of my Echo and I can't wait to try it with this smart plug.  This is a product I can cheerfully recommend.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

By
I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
