Have two of these: one controlling the cable box, receiver, Apple TV, XBOX and TV in the family room, the other controls TV, sound-bar and Apple TV in the master bedroom.It’s easy to add devices and then create activities that combines specific devices as needed.With Alexa integration it allows us to control the devices through voice when the devices themselves are not Alexa enabled IMO it’s a great way to control non Alexa enabled devices with voice commands.

overall I really like this unit, but as a computer geek, it leaves a LOT of room for improvement. There are a lot of "restrictions" in the actions that I feel should be left up to the user to decide that the vendor feels should be forced to do their way.On a good note: There has been a person that claims to work for them that says they will support the network API interfaces for those of us DIY'ers that want to link this to our home automation systems and not just use it as a fancy remote. We'll just have to wait and see if this is true as time goes on.

The Akaso V50X is a nice upgrade to my previous Akaso V50 camera. I liked my old V50 and had a need for another camera, so I decided to go for their newest model. Like the V50, the V50X takes good quality video and photos at a price point that reduces any worry about it getting lost or broken. They both also come with plenty of accessories for mounting the camera.Compared to the V50, I have noticed that the menus and startup seem snappier. The V50X also has a touchscreen, which is nice when you aren't using the camera in a waterproof case. Image stabilization seems to be improved, with the stabilized video seeming more natural than with the old V50. I also think that the image clarity and contrast seem improved from the old model. I haven't tried the feature yet, but I like that the V50X has a diving filter to improve the contrast when snorkeling or diving.Overall, I am happy with my new V50X and I recommend Akaso if you are in the market for a budget action camera.

I live in an area where there is a lot of wildlife that comes through my yard and I really wanted to find out what kind of animal has been raiding my garden. This camera caught my attention because of the higher 1296P compared to the 1080p that are more common. I also wanted a camera where I can turn on and off the wifi mode remotely so I don't have to go to the camera to turn on the Wifi Mode, this comes with a remote control that you can use to turn on/off the wifi mode. This was a big plus for me and it has worked pretty well for me, I did not have to physically press the button on the camera every time I wanted to see what images the camera has captured. All you have to do is turn on the wife via remote and then you connect to the camera's wifi through your phone's app and you can access the photos and videos in the trail cam.The picture quality is really good, I kept the photo resolution at 24MP(Max) and both the day and night pictures were very crisp and clear. The videos captured were very detailed and there was no distortion, as you would see on lower quality trail cams. The only negative to this is you need to get a bigger SD card as it fills up 32 GB very fast. The packaging was ok, everything was securely in the box. I also wish it took fewer batteries, 8 AA batteries is a lot and I hope I don't have to replace these as frequently. The motion detection has been accurate and I kept the IR level in the lowest setting and it has been working pretty well for my needs.If you need a good-quality trail cam with nice features, this XTU Trial Cam is a great choice.
