Are any of the large chain stores (Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Target, Sears, Ace Hardware, etc) selling these yet?   I want an easy return if the wife does not like how they look..

@JimS  As I said in the PM I had other higher priority issues come up and now I may be moving so I don't plan on installing the pressure sensor anytime soon.   I can tell you what I received looks just like the picture.  And it has a solid feel to it which makes me think it is good quality but...

Since you seem to have forgotten what you said.  I will remind you of the original statement I took exception to.    

  No, you are talking about a single quarter.  Your own link shows that Android has already  re-passed iOS in the 1st quarter of 2015.   Apples always gets a big bump after they release a new phone.  This time they got a bigger bump than usual because they finally caught up with technology and...

Can it get any worse?  Both principals of Soap filed for Bankruptcy shortly before starting their Kickstarter / Indiegogo campaigns. http://www.cepro.com/article/both_owners_of_indiegogo-funded_soap_filed_for_bankruptcy_recently

@IVB, If you already have a beefy computer you should consider running multiple virtual machines.  Then you can run Win 7, WHS, Linux and whatever all on the same box.  You get snapshot backups for quick recovery from failed software upgrades or virus.  You get hardware abstraction so if you...

I don't have the Cree's but do have other smart white LED bulbs (TCP Connect and GE / Wink Zigbee) and they all turn on when the bulb power transitions to on.  But remember this can work against you if you have a power blip.  Every smart light in your home will turn on.  If the light is in a...
