Argos RIP thread

TheDriver

The previous chat thread #1 is closed due to some weirdness going on with the code etc so we'll continue it here.

I know this is 'chat' thread but can we keep it strictly to the items posted in the Argos Bargains thread for everyone's benefit.

Thanks

Can anyone remember if it was around this time the last couple of years that the Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances took a nose dive?

Stupid q. I know nothing about the amazon fire stick. I know you can watch Netflix etc.

1. Can you watch the Irish channels like rte with it? And watch live?
2. Does your tv need to be able to access the internet? Or just the fire stick

1. You can put rte player app on it or any Android app.
2. It has WiFi. Tv needs a HDMI slot

Just need wifi on the stick,if you got a IPTV sub you could watch any channel on it.most TV's are saorview now for rte or if not a saorview box but you can get the Irish channels on the fire stick by either a IPTV sub or by using a suitable app

€24 for the fire stick non 4k,still a good price and ideal if you only have a HD TV.

No problem. It's only for a single room and some smart plugs and switches. The plugs and switches I've already tested with just the Alexa app so should be good

Apologies your right didn't realise the newer Hue bulbs have bluetooth. Can support up to 5 bulbs . The bluetooth looks handy for small single room set up but if you want it to work with sensors or the whole house you really need the hub. Range is much better with the hub too as they works as a mesh.

Might be worth it to try it out but a starter kit with a hub is probably a better investment.

Currys in Jervis very difficult place to shop

I reserved a dualshock 4 this morning for click and collect, walked over at lunchtime - massive queue for online order collection at the side of the shop.

Waited for about 2 mins, moving nowhere. Left and ordered it on amazon for the same price on the walk back to work. Don't know why I bothered trying.

I've been checking and getting various answers.

From that link Amazon suggest it's possible over Bluetooth.

With Bluetooth simple setup, easily connect these smart lights to your Echo device via Bluetooth, no hub required.

Simple to set up and use
with Alexa
Echo Dot
STEP 1
Make sure your Echo device software is up to date by saying “Alexa, is your software up to date?”

Smart light bulb and Echo Dot
STEP 2
Power on your Hue bulb. If Alexa or the Alexa app says “New light found”, your device is ready to use and you can skip step 3.

Lamp
STEP 3
Say “Alexa, discover devices”. Once your bulb is discovered, just say “Alexa, turn on First Light”.

Is this incorrect?

Edit: also has the below

Is the Amazon Stick pretty redundant anyway if you already have a 4K smart tv and just download the app?. Had the previous one and though it was pointless other then installing Kodi on it

For a few years until they stop supporting it. At least.

Supposed to be getting a big overhaul soon so might yet turn into a game worth owning. Maybe. Possibly.

I usually do but I haven't. I stopped using checkargos when the popular daily deals etc stopped working.

Did anyone contact witnessmenow?
I thought he said more than happy to be told it's down?

But if somebody else already has, don't want to be bombarding him.
