Best modular home automation system
If you want to automate your home for cheap (relatively) and easy this is a great system. You can piecemeal the switches in with minimal set up once you have the bridge working and it works with Alexa. These also work with a few other hubs: Staples, Homeseer, Smartthings and I think a few others. I have mine set up with Alexa so I can voice control the lights and set up scenes. Complaints - the 4 button dimmer isn't a great design. Maybe it just takes some getting used to but I almost always fumble with it then just turn it full on, then dim it. Range is an issue even in a small house. You need the bridge centrally located and on the middle floor even in a 1500 square ' house. The app takes a minute to load, but that's a long minute when you are sitting down for dinner in the dark. Sometimes it can't find the bridge which it should pretty much instantly if you're o your own LAN. Sometimes the commands don't send over the app. and sometimes they send like 3 minutes later. It's a fairly good system and from what I've see of others it's probably the best you're going to do. The switches are ridiculously expensive. They're $20 more than the dimmers. And if you want to dim an LED strip light (to 1% anyway) that'll run you over $200 retail for the dimmer (PRO model only) and the compatible LED driver (Lutron Hi-Lume LTE).

Meh. Kind of boring
I loved Fallout 3. It's maybe my favorite game of all time. I think about Fallout: New Vegas all the time. I'm anxious for it like a kid on 12/24. It keeps me up at night, scouring the web for any little iota of information or a new screenshot or concept art. To pass the grueling few weeks between now and then I bought Mass Effect 2 - which I was told was a similar style RPG but set it space. Right on. Trade mutants for aliens and that's that. I get it, throw it in the XBox and begin a new campaign. The first thing to pop up: "Would you like to import character from Mass Effect?" Well this won't suffice, starting halfway through the damn game. So back on eBay to get numero uno.
So on to the review. As it turns out this game is surprisingly boring and (it hurts my ego to say) pretty confusing. The story line seems kind of cool and scientifically remotely possible - super luminal speed has been discovered by humans in the form of gravity warping relay devices spotted throughout the galaxy by an extinct race of aliens. One just happens to be on Mars and we open it up and shoot through to find ourselves in a galactic community of more or less equal civilizations. We have a few conflicts, make a few enemies and a few friends (mostly enemies. They make it out to be like we're the Jersey Shore of the galaxy) and find resolution in the form of the Citadel - the galactic U.N.
Fast Forward 100 years (really? Not 500?) The humans are getting on just and are close to becoming a member of the Citadel equivlent of the UN Security Council despite their very brief membership. This (explitive removed) off the wrong alien secret agent and all of a sudden a whole human colony disappears.
That's pretty much where I am in the game and I'm bored as hell. The movements are jerky, the dialog is painful, the combat is confusing and the locations are poorly laid out and difficult to navigate in any reasonable amount of time.
The main character runs like his space suit is riding up. It's hard to give a crap about any character because their convo's are like Japanese toy commercials. In combat, you can't tell if you're hitting an opponent, getting hit, the victim of one of the many vaguely explained superpowers or if your super powers are effecting your enemy. You give commands to your squad but they do some things, others they don't. Certain things are recharged, others aren't. You can go from full health to dead in just a few shots and then not even get hit for 5 minutes. But the worst is getting around. If you level up and become able to access something you couldn't on another planet it takes a good half hour of playing time to return to that location. I guess if you look at it in terms of galactic time it's quite fast, but not it terms of "I'm going to play a few minutes before the girlfriend gets home".
I'm probably going to finish it if I can force myself to before Fallout: New Vegas comes out in a few weeks. But only like a book you don't really like but it's better than Three's Company reruns.
