You can also get very “smart”and switch up all your outlets, add dimmers, locks, and cameras to get the entire smarthome going. Create routines that consist of more than one action within the app. There are various pieces to the project, but make sure you include the SmartThings Hub to tie it all in.

Yuneec Typhone Q500 4K Drone
Drones have really taken off this year and if you’re thinking about getting one for someone, I suggest the Typhoon 4K from Yuneec.

The control has a nice touchscreen display that lets you see what you’re recording. Droning is a fun hobby to get into. You can check out my review or the site for more info.
