Sky bell 2.0 “shocking-values” Sams club for 98.97$

I know this keeps coming up over and over again in this thread. So, I decided to make an attempt at mitigation. I’m sure it will only be slightly effective toward the intended goal, but at least it’s an attempt…

Here is a thread I just created that we can use for discussing deals, sales, coupons, pricing, etc…

Also, I think we should rename this present ‘Deals’ thread to coincide with the naming of the discussion thread.

My proposal…

The deals thread should be named like this…


POST Deals/Sales/Coupons/Pricing HERE (discuss deals in the other thread)

Then, the OP should say something like this…

Please ONLY use this thread for posting Deals, Sales, Coupons, Best Prices, etc.
For discussing any of the deals posted in this thread, please use the Deals Discussion thread…
LINK TO DISCUSSION THREAD


p.s. This is NOT a fight or argument about methodology. All points of view on this are not only relevant, but necessary. This is simply an experiment to see if something like this will help us at all. :slight_smile:

I think that there needs to be some form of discussion around each deal. For example we all need to know if the current product will work with smartthings or if it is community supported. Nobody here really wants to buy something that is not compatible. We also need to discuss location, coupons, etc… I would say instead of making another thread, try to clean up the current one. If you are really worried about missing out on a deal then there are better sites for that like SlickDeals or just keep up with the thread as many deals come and go quickly like they have with the contact sensors.

Deals tend to be short lived and change constantly. I think we should just start a new Deals Thread at the beginning of each month but keep the discussions going because that’s what makes this different from say Slickdeals or Dealnews websites. It’s good to know HOW to get some of these deals and bonus discounts such as the Lowes percentage off sites. We should, however try to stick to deals that are compatible with SmartThings in some way. Of course, there can be exceptions such as the BloomSky deal that became compatible later. Just my two cents…

It is one thing to have someone ask it it is compatible, or what the process to get the deal is. But when the thread degrades into people discussing shipping, etc it is really pointless.
As for going to Slickdeals, I do that also, but it is nice to come here where the stuff is specifically catered to smartthings.

I couldn’t edit OP, but I did edit title… Only because I’m sick of the discussion about taking discussion elsewhere… I personally still believed most of the banter relevant to one topic. But if I must follow 2 I will.

In the last deal thread, I swear the 50% posts were deals, 20% posts were disscussion, 10% were lowes comments, 20% were people complaining about lowes comments (the complaints bother me more than the comments! lol).

Guilty as charged on that last point! :slight_smile:

I think I only complained 1,2, okay maybe 3 times on old thread that " My " Lowes, HD, BestBuy never have the deals found elsewhere LOL

The updates about whether items are in stock, available to order, shipping is available etc are extremely relevant to people that may not follow the thread constantly. Now the posting of every Amazon deal even when they are in no way ST or even HA related…well that’s another topic.

Okay when everybody makes an " I got mine" post, it is pretty unnecessary. The first few " They just cancelled my order posts" are relevant to give others notice to look out for the same fate.

Good deal on the first generation Philips Hue starter kit with three Hue bulbs. It looks like it has gone out-of-stock, but you can still order it for $129.99.

Anyone use one of these. Price seems great.

My local Lowes had GE outdoor plug in outlets for $4 and wired in GE duplex outlets for $5. I missed this round of duplex but I got plenty last time. Did score 5 outdoor outlets though.

Doesn’t matter GE are standard ZW and will work with any ZW system

What city/zip code is your store in?

I think what @RLDreams meant was blister packs (older versions) for the duplex outlets and outdoor plugs still work on ST. Most of the old Iris stuff only worked with Iris but the duplex outlets and outdoor plugs also worked with ST. I have 3 outdoor plugs (blister packs) and a few of the old GE switches that were with the Iris stuff but work with ST.
So blister pack or not if it’s $5 for the older devices, outlets and outdoor outlets, it’s still a steal but I get your point about your store not having them for months :slight_smile:

Not very good reviews on Amazon. The price is $16.99 with free shipping for Prime Users which is actually cheaper for me when you add shipping from Smarthome but the extra eBates $10 makes it much cheaper if you can take advantage of it.
