COZOO USB Bedside Table & Desk Lamp Review

Posted on by

These days, you probably have a lot of devices that need charging. You probably need to charge your phone, your laptop, possibly a smartwatch, and so on. All of these different items require chargers, and things can get a bit crowded with cables if you’re trying to fit them all into a standard outlet, which only has two inputs.

COZOO’s new smart lamp

With COZOO’s new smart lamp, you can charge all of your devices quickly and without the pain of managing all those chargers. COZOO’s smart lamp is equipped with multiple charger inputs that you can connect your cables to, so that you only really need one wall socket to power all of your devices.

It includes several USB inputs, and 2 wall socket inputs. You’re able to charge up to 5 devices at any time, at least while the lamp is plugged in. The USB ports are quite impressive.

They run on fast-charging technology that allows you to cut the time it takes to charge your phone and other devices down considerably. By using the latest ports, it shouldn’t take more than 2 hours or so to get a full charge on an empty phone, which is quite a feat compared to a standard charger.

Additionally, these ports are equipped to prevent charging overloads, which helps save your battery life. If you leave your phone charging even after it’s at 100% battery, it can actually damage the battery and shorten the lifespan of it, meaning that you’ll run out of juice during the day faster.

These ports cut the power when the device reaches 100%, meaning that your battery life will be sustained. There are also a number of safety features included in this lamp. It’s built with a fireproof case, so you won’t have to worry about overloading it or anything like that.

If the case wasn’t built like it is, there would be a greater chance of the increased current running through it starting a fire in your bedroom. At the end of the day, this lamp is also stylish and modern. It has a very simple, minimalistic design that can really bring a room together. The ports will work whether the lamp portion is on or off, so you can charge your devices overnight without having to worry about the light. Combine this item with a smart light bulb and you’ll certainly have a great piece of bedroom décor.

Roborock S5 Review

Posted on by

When you want to keep your floors clean daily, you can sweep, then vacuum, then spot mop any sticky or noticeable spots on the floor. You have to make sure you have a broom in good working order, a vacuum that has a strong suction mode and a mop.

That’s a lot of cleaning tools to keep up with, so that means you’ll spend twice as much money, energy and time. You could get a floor sweeper that also mops – so that cuts down a little of the expense and time.

But it can’t vacuum. So you’d still have to take the time to do that, and you’d still have to buy mop heads or mop cloths. Or, you can get a vacuum that can replace all the things you need to do daily in one gadget!

The Roborock S5 Robotic Vacuum can do the job of three tools. It has a strong Cyclone 3D Cleaning System. This means that the machine’s suction capacity works like the power of a cyclone, lifting up debris and suctioning it off the floor.

It has a main brush that floats, but it also has both side and rolling brushes. All these brushes combined are what clean the floor in all directions. These brushes are self-adjustable.

They’ll clean on the sides using 330RPMs. This quickly gets the dirt and debris along the edge of the room. But then, when it’s not vacuuming on the edge of the room, it lowers the RPMs to 130.

This action keeps the dust from floating around in the air. The vacuum uses Smart Navigation. This is a great feature. Relying on a laser sensor, the machine will scan each room it’s in.

Once it completes the scan, it determines the parameters using the SLAM algorithm. What this does is it creates a guide map for the vacuum. It then uses the map to determine the best way to move to clean your house as quickly as possible.

The machine is so smart that it can tell when it moves to carpet and will adjust the level of suction it uses. When it moves off the carpet, it resumes the previous suction level.

This vacuum can even spot mop for you.

It uses a mopping system that will gently wet the mopping cloth using its water tank so this keeps the floor – clean even from sticky spills. Some of its features include a washable, high efficiency filter, anti-collision sensors, fall sensors, and self-recharge.

It can run for 150 minutes. If it has to stop cleaning to recharge, it will return to the spot where the cleaning was paused and pick up right where it was before the recharge. The vacuum can be controlled through your smartphone. You can set your cleaning schedule through the app or use Alexa. You don’t need to spend your energy trying to keep up with three different tools and you don’t need to waste time cleaning your floors when one device can do the job of all three – and do it better.

Hive Smart Thermostat Review

Posted on by

You have a lot going on in life and the last thing you need to add to the things you have to take care of is worrying about keeping the lights off and the thermostat set high or low to save on energy so that you stay within your budget.

No one likes to get electric bills that are higher than anticipated. You want to do everything you can to save money with your thermostat. You could watch the weather every day and then make sure you set the cooling option higher in the summer and the heating option lower in the winter.

While that might make it nice in the winter to snuggle on the sofa under a warm blanket, it’s a shock to your feet when you get out of bed in the middle of the night or in the morning.

You could get a thermostat that you can set with a schedule you try to remember to work around. Or, you can get a smart thermostat that uses technology to program itself around your life rather than the other way around.

The Hive Smart Thermostat is an Energy Star device that runs when you need and want it to. You can pre-select up to 6 different times that you want the heating or air on or off.You can choose a daily routine based around your morning or evening routine.

You can set it for after school or when you’re away. You can even set it to heat or cool before you even get out of bed so that you’re always comfortable. A great feature with this thermostat is that it’s designed to work with other Hive products that make life easier.

When it notices that your home has too much humidity, it will notify your smart plug to turn on a fan. Humidity can cause mold and mildew, plus bugs love homes that have higher humidity levels.

This device can help prevent all that by watching out for the humidity levels and reacting as soon as it detects that it’s too high. When someone enters a room, the sensors in the thermostat will pick up on that using motion detection.

It’ll turn on the heat or the air conditioning. If you use Hive View and the thermostat detects motion, you’ll get a notification on your phone. It’s a great way to know when family members arrive home.

The Hive is compatible with Alexa and Google Home for easy voice activated use. You can change the temperature using your smartphone, but the device also has the easy one touch function for heating or cooling.

The thermostat can monitor as many as five areas in your home. These can be programmed for individual cooling or heating settings. If you leave home and forget to turn off the heat or air, the thermostat will use geolocation to help save energy and money by sending you an alert. Stop getting high electric bills and trying to compensate by suffering through higher or colder temperatures. Get the Hive to lower your energy costs instead!

Honeywell RTH6580WF Review

Posted on by

You want it cool or warm in your house, depending on the season of the year. But sometimes, the weather can be fickle and you may need it to be both warm and cool on the same day – and even that can change several times throughout a 24-hour cycle!

That kind of constant change can be wearisome. Changing temperatures can make it too hot or too cold in your house, so then you have the inconvenience of having to continually reset the thermostat.

You could get a thermostat that you can set on one temperature for a day so that it takes away some of the inconvenience. But sometimes, these thermostats lack the inability to switch from heat to cool, so it can never keep your house feeling comfortable.

A better option would be to invest in a programmable smart thermostat. The Honeywell RTH6580WF Programmable Thermostat puts control and convenience back in your hands. With this device, you’ll have the option to program your desired temperatures for up to a week at a time.

But it will also give you the option to set various temperatures throughout the day. You can set up to four personalized heating or cooling selections. That way, even if you experience the need for both heat and air conditioning in the same day, the thermostat has that covered.

Because the device is Wi-Fi enabled, you can control it by using your smart phone. But you can also use your laptop, desktop, or even your iPad to turn the air or heat off or on and raise or lower the temperature.

You’ll need to download the app for this. Within that app, you’ll have the ability to see what the weather is for your area. The gadget is designed to use the Wink app and you won’t need the hub.

You’ll also be able to check the humidity and can view the details for more than one thermostat if you have them all connected. If you don’t want to adjust the thermostat using your phone, you do have the option of using the voice control feature.

The device is compatible with Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, Alexa, Wink and more. While the thermostat is in use, if you happen to lose electricity, the device will recall your settings as soon as the power comes back on again.

It’ll do the same thing in the event that you lose your Wi-Fi connection. It comes with pre-installed temperature settings as a guideline to make it easier for you to begin using the device.

The thermostat is certified Energy Star, which means it’s a money saving product. Installation is easy, but you will need a C wire to set the thermostat up for optimal performance. End the fluctuating temperatures in your house and get this smart device that makes keeping your home comfortable a breeze.

Wsdcam Door and Window Alarm Review

Posted on by

These days, it’s important to ensure that every possible entrance to your house is secure. Criminals are always finding new ways of getting into places undetected by cameras, so your last true line of defense is the doors or windows themselves.

Big security systems can be expensive, so a much more reasonable option for arming these entrances with alarms would be the Wsdcam door and window alarms. Instead of paying huge costs to get a security system installed, these alarms allow you to set them up at the doors and windows where you need them, and each one will trigger its own self-contained alarm.

These help you not only to deter any burglary attempts, but they can also help you know if a child or pet as managed to sneak out of the house so that they don’t go getting lost or in trouble.

These alarms can go all the way up to 110 decibels, which is roughly equivalent to someone using a loud power tool such as a chainsaw or a jackhammer. You’ll definitely be able to hear it no matter where you are in the house, and for the potential intruder who tripped it, it’ll be extremely loud, and they’ll likely be driven off just from the shock of the loud sound alone.

The way these alarms work is that you set up two parts – one is the main unit with the speaker, and the other is a slightly magnetic brick. You put them on opposite sides of the crease in the door where it opens, and when it’s opened, it will cut the magnetic connection between the two and the alarm will sound.

You can set this up however you please -on a window, door, hatch, etc. Once they’re set up, there are four modes that you can set the alarm to depending on how much noise you want it to make.

There’s a standard alarm setting, in which it will trip the loud noise, but can then be turned off immediately. Then, there’s the long alarm setting, which cannot be turned off until a certain amount of time has passed while it’s going off. There’s a time delay mode that can help remind you to shut a door if it’s been left open, which can help you protect yourself even further. Finally, there’s the simple doorbell mode, which makes an innocent chime when someone trips it.

AGSHOME Security Alarm System Review

Posted on by

For the best-guaranteed security, you’re going to want a full home alarm system. Unfortunately, these are often pretty expensive concepts, and you don’t want to have to drop that much money on an alarm system that hopefully never even has to go off.

Instead of paying premium prices for some pre-installed security system, set one up yourself that’s of the same quality, like the AGSHOME security alarm system. This alarm system allows you to secure your house just as well as a standard security system would, and it even gives you greater customization since you get to set it up.

It’s not at all difficult to do as long as you follow the instructions, and you should be able to get every entrance into your house secure. This kit includes two different ways of alerting you when someone has tripped the alarm.

The first is the most obvious, which is a loud alarm. This alarm sounds off at about 120 decibels, making it about as loud as an ambulance siren. This will not only alert everyone in the house, but also nearby neighbors that someone is trying to burglarize your house.

For the criminal trying to break in, this will be a huge deterrent, and they’ll probably take off out of instinct alone. The other method of alerting you that it uses, which is especially useful if you’re at work or on vacation, is calling and texting you.

You can have it set up so that it will call specific phone numbers and give an alert message, so that you can call the police and get them to your house right then and there, even if you’re not able to make it back to your home in time.

There are multiple wireless remotes included that you can give to family members, and these have some great functions as well. While they can be used to lock or unlock the security system, they can also be used as emergency call devices. If, for example, an elderly member of the family had one and fell, they could sound the alarm, which would alert anyone around them that they need help. In addition to the door sensors and remotes, this alarm system comes with motion trackers, so that if there’s any unwanted activity in an area where someone would be sneaking in, they will trip the alarm even if they got past the main sensors.

Emerson Sensi ST55 Review

Posted on by

It’s not easy juggling the thermostat to keep your home at a comfortable temperature level because the amount of humidity can affect how a regular thermostat reacts. It doesn’t control the humidity so by the time that you realize you’re too hot or too cold in your home, your heating or cooling system has already disrupted your comfort and wasted energy.

When the temperature isn’t right, it affects the amount you spend on energy usage trying to make it right. You need a way to combat how the humidity affects the temperature settings in your home.

You can buy a humidity thermometer. You can also get a thermostat that will give you a humidity reading. Or, you could get a smart thermostat that can regulate your home’s temperature, adjust for humidity and lower your energy usage.

The Emerson Sensi ST55 Smart Thermostat can take care of all your cooling and heating needs quickly and efficiently. It has a wide touchscreen that will respond to a light tap, or, you can use the voice control command.

This feature is compatible to use with Google Assistant, Siri or Alexa. You can use the touchscreen to create your customized settings. But you can also create your settings by using the app on your phone once you set that up.

One of the features it has is the week-long scheduling ability. You can make your schedule for a week at a time. This way, you can adjust it for work schedules, school schedules or for those time when you’re not going to be at home so that the system saves you energy as well as money.

If you choose not to use the week-long schedule feature, you can choose to use the day at a time feature or you can use a weekend timing schedule. It uses a cycle performance.

This feature is what gives a few degrees of leeway in between what you set and when the thermostat tells your unit to switch on or off. If you set your system to heat your home when it reaches 65 degrees outside, it won’t come on until it reaches 63 because your cycle performance is different than your chosen temperature.

You’ll find that with most thermostats. You’ll choose the rate at which you want this cycle to kick in. It gives you the options of choosing between a fast, medium or slow cycle.

The fast cycle is the most responsive and the slow cycle saves more energy. There’s an early start mode with the thermostat. You can set this to turn on the air or the heat so that even if you have a set temperature, the device will turn on just for your specific start time so that you’re more comfortable. You won’t have to deal with a hot or cold house first thing in the morning. To prevent others from changing the settings, you can engage the lockout mode. When this is engaged, no one can change the temperature on the actual thermostat. You would have to use the app.

Driveway Informer Wireless Driveway Alarm Review

Posted on by

Whether it’sat home or at your business, having security is one of the most important things you can possibly have. These days, people are constantly trying to find ways to sneak into houses and offices and steal valuables, but luckily tech companies are fighting back against that.

The Driveway Informer Wireless Driveway Alarm is a great option if you’re trying to keep unwanted visitors off of your property, alerting you when something is moving within the device’s sight.

The setup is fairly simply. You set up the green camera portion somewhere where it’s not very obvious, so nobody tries to avoid the camera. You want to make sure it’s pointed in the direction of the area where you want to have the most security.

Inside, you’ll set up the receiver, which can just be plugged into a wall. When something moves in front of the outside sensor, it’ll trip a quick alarm inside that will let you know someone or something is out there.

While this could be used at home to watch your front lawn and protect against intruders, it’s also very useful for any business owners. You can have multiple cameras set up so that you can detect activity out front as well as out back.

If you were to have problems with people sneaking in through the back entrance or hanging out behind your building, this would alert you to them so that you can go get them away.

It doesn’t only have applications in protection, though. Businesses can also use this for simple alerts for things like packages arriving from trucks or shipments coming in, so they know when to go out and sign for it.

This helps speed up the process of getting the inventory you need delivered. One of the best parts about this system is its durability. If you’re going to be leaving cameras or sensors outside exposed to the elements, you want to make sure they’re secure.

If you buy cheap products, you might end up seeing your devices succumb to the rain, heat, or cold, and you would be left without your first line of protection. By constructing their sensors out of high quality materials, you can be sure that this product is going to be able to hold up through anything. They’ll last longer than other products on the market, leaving you less worried about them and more focused on the tasks that you need to do at home or in your place of business.

Canary All In One Security System Review

Posted on by

One of the common downsides to smart home security is the need for multiple devices that have to all be connected to a hub. Sometimes you wish that there was just one device that could do it all, without you having to worry about powering all these different devices.

The new Canary wireless security system is about as close as you can come to that dream becoming a reality today. The Canary takes a bunch of different important features and bundles them all together into one sleek looking device that you can keep in the most important parts of the house.

It helps you keep your home secure in multiple ways, and all it requires is one power source and one app to view the different features from. In this case, it’s the simplest, but one of the most effective forms of home security.

One of the main features of the Canary All In One is a powerful security camera. This camera streams 24/7 live footage of your house in amazingly clear 1080p footage. It utilizes a wide-angle lens in order to capture as much in one frame as possible, increasing your chances of catching something on camera that you would want to know about.

It records this video to the cloud, where you can access it for evidence if needed. There are other parts of the Canary that are very helpful, though. For example, it has an advanced sensor that tells you things about the room that you can’t tell at first glance.

It monitors the temperature, air quality, and humidity in the room, helping you get a better understanding of what the air you’re breathing is like. It gives you a notification when it notices a fluctuation.

Letting you know that the temperature is abnormally high can give you advanced notice that there might be a fire, or a door might’ve been left open. One of the most interesting parts about this device is that it has something many other security cameras don’t – a built-in alarm.

Coming in at 90 decibels, this alarm makes a huge racket, sure to wake somebody up and sure to drive away any unwanted guests. You can sound it manually, which is much better than trying to yell at someone through two-way audio. Finally, this product allows you to actually contact emergency services straight through the app. You can get fire departments, police, and even EMS all on the scene quickly and efficiently by going straight through the app and informing them of the location and situation at your house.
