The reviews on Amazon don't give me that warm fuzzy feeling. :) There's only 6 reviews and half of them are bad. That is, if you read the actual review. There are a couple of 4 stars that don't sound like they should be 4 stars if you read the comment. Now that it actually exists, I wonder how many people are willing to spend 30 bucks plus shipping for it. As a side note, this thread seems like one that lots of people feel the need to sign up for a Houzz account, make one comment on this thread pointing everyone at SwitchFlip and then not participating in any other discussions. Is it possible that these people have an ulterior motive in promoting this product? :)

For Sonos, my Understanding is you will need a soundbar to connect to the TV itself - probably the beam in your case - then you can connect any number of Sonos 1’s (or whatever they call their cheapest speaker nowadays) to that system, which would be perfect to add to a kitchen. However, this whole set up is $$$ since you need the soundbar for the TV. The individual small speakers cannot directly communicate with the TV - only the soundbar, which in turn is connected to the TV. That said, I have $$$$$ worth of Sonos in my own home and am happy with it. :)

I'm looking for a recommendation on a reasonably priced, wireless thermometer for my greenhouse. I want a 2-channel thermometer that can monitor the temperature in the greenhouse and also has a waterproof probe connected to it that I can stick in my bottom-heated seed starting trays to monitor soil temperature. The receiver will be in my house and needs to be able to pick up the signal from the greenhouse about 75 feet away. I have been using a (now-discontinued) LaCrosse technology thermometer for years that works exactly like this, but the thermometer transmitting unit has died and I am having trouble finding a good replacement.

I'd like to be able to turn the lights in an outbuilding on and off from the house, as well, of course as in the outbuilding. I'd like a simple on/off switch (no dimmer) that I could install in the house, wired to power, so no batteries to mess with, that will work on its own, without any kind of home automation hub. It would be great if it could look (and work) like an ordinary toggle switch. The switch location in the outbuilding is about 150 ft from where I'd like to put the switch in the house. There's good WIFI signal in both places. RF would be fine if the range is adequate. Does such a beast exist that works relaibly? I'm finding much more complicated systems and a bunch with pretty mixed reviews. Thanks!
