You can also set up each button to toggle on/off a light or group by using "Split by group on state" so potentially can control 4. I mounted one sideways to control 3 lights that way and made the 4th button all 3 off aswell.

That is a brilliant idea, never thought of that!

Theres no difference that you'd notice, as they are both the latest gen 'richer colour' bulbs.

At a guess I'd say the newer ones are the latest batch, possibly with different packaging.

After looking up some reviews of what the sensor can do I think I have a plan for it but it could involve more bulbs :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Thanks, I missed the deal, it's gone now, fell asleep on the couch and forgot :-(

Probably just as well, have bought two hue go lamps, and so far over the last few months have bought hue hub and bulbs, smarthings hub, raspberry pi so sense needs to prevail, and I better start thinking about Lego and jewelry for herself and the young fella (not in that order) for Christmas.

Anyone else have Black Friday purchases already shipped, but with no tracking details (apart from the standard Amazon ordered-dispatched-out for delivery tracker?

And in the last 15-20 Amazon deliveries I've received, none had Royal Mail as the carrier.

Never mind, Starter kit bought on Friday has just arrived.

Same as myself, ordered on Tuesday night, hopefully they ship soon cause if they are going to cancel it I see maplins uk have the same deal and would be sickened if John Lewis cancelled and then the deal on maplins was gone

Dont bother with Maplin UK i tried order a google home using Parcel Motel, they accepted then cancelled. See below:rolleyes:

Ordered from Google Uk

upon checking our records the order has been cancelled as we are unable to dispatch goods to a parcel motel, and also we are unable to delivery goods to an alternatively address from the one registered in your pay pal account for security reasons.

Life is good.

Buy 1 get one 50% off. Works out at £22.50 for each plug when bought in pairs. That's exceptional value for a Z-Wave plug.

Edit - reduced now to £24.99 plus one at 50% off. £37.50 for two Z-Wave plugs

Appears to be a 3 for 2 on Hue E14s. I accidentally bought three, only got charged for two.

Honestly. Total accident. Was checking to see if it took off the third & forgot I'd one-click ordering enabled. Oh Well...

Already have indoor blinks cameras. Was hoping they would apply a 20% discount on the single Blink XT (Outdoor Cameras)!! NOt too be!

BobbyT28

edit

Just spotted that the promotion applies to the Blink XT also, you just apply the promotion and when you get to checkout it is deducted.

Got it for £95. Lovely, was hoping these would come down.

Going to use it as a baby cam and when we don't need it for that i'm going to stick it outside.

Also the colour E27/B22 twin packs are down £5 to £80, so with the 3 for 2, it works out at £27 per bulb, which is excellent value.

I'd been looking out for an XT myself, sadly the camera on it's own seems to be missing entirely now.

Nest Protect (battery) down to £96.66 on amazon

Hardly earth shattering, but it appeared over the last week or 2 that it wasn't going to budge from £99

Them blink cameras any good, they look pretty limited for the price, do they only record 5 second clips? Is there anyway to expand the 2GB limit with a subscription?
