Klyith posted:has to be a bulb in this case because it's going into a fixture. I've been using the tp link bulbs, outlets, and switches for a while now. They work rather well, software seems pretty okay, and it connects in to Google home or Amazon Alexa easily.

If you have a hardwired Ring, the fix to dropped frames or signal is to upgrade the doorbell transformer. Ring sells one for $30, or you can get one on Amazon for $20. I did the swap last week, fixed all my connection issues. A friend did the same thing, fixed his issues. Builder grade transformers are like 12v at 10amp, the replacement is 16v at 30amp. It took about 20 minutes to change, mostly because someone hamfisted the anchor screw and hosed it up. If I have to use pliers to turn a screw, someone was a dumbass.

Keystoned posted:Interesting, i have a similar problem but assumed it was wifi. Which one did you get off amazon and how is the installation? Is the transformer typically inside the chime box or somewhere else? A friend and I each bought https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001POBN92?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title Our houses are around the corner from each other, and were built at the same time. In both of ours, the transformer was above the basement smoke alarm, and was powered off of that circuit. It's easy to install - (locate transformer), shut off circuit breaker and verify, undo wiring, wire in new one, turn on power. The line out wasn't polarized, it just competes the circuit. Mine was annoyingly close to the ceiling, but still a quick job.

Thermopyle posted:I do know some people do report having those delays, I just don't know why some people get them and I don't. I think the first factor is the transformer powering the doorbell. Replacing the one that was installed in 1998 helped quite a bit. Also, it seems picky about the bandwidth on the phone, at least in regards to playing the video.

My neighbor's was above the hardwired basement smoke alarm, mine was above the outlet for the water heater. Key difference is that half of my basement is finished.

The Kasa (TP Link) ones have a button on them. They're wifi though, not zwave/zigbee.

Honeywell has a few Wifi options that use their own app/portal, and for the most part work fine.

Why is TP Link forking the Kasa home automation into another brand? Does it need a separate app on it's own?
