Quick Recommendations for SmartThings Purchases

I will be updating this list as I go, but I figured I would create a quick reference of products that I have tried and liked. The ratings are on a scale from one to five, and I plan on doing a full review post for each item eventually. Anything that paired the first time and worked as advertised gets a 5. Since I have friends that are also installing their own systems, I left room for them to rate products that I haven't tried.

If you are planning on following my strategy, you should definitely sign up for Amazon Prime.


Let me know if you find this helpful or have other feedback on the products.

Dropcam for $99 at Home Depot

In case you missed the Dropcam deal on Amazon, I spotted this at Home Depot:

It looks like they are discontinuing the cheaper Dropcam camera at Home Depot. That is cheaper than an equivalent-featured baby monitor and if you have SmartThings, it does so much more.

Dropcam on sale for $99

Yesterday I posted about the Nest Thermostat for $50 off on Amazon, today I noticed that the Dropcamcamera is $50 off as well!  I am going to pick one up to review on this site later. Dropcam is owned by Nest and integrates into both their system and Smartthings. The integrated burst and picture features with Smartthings don't require the CVR monthly service cost which makes the Dropcam a great, affordable home automation addition!

  

There is a more expensive model and it is for indoor use only, but there are some nice cases available for outdoor use.
