Hm, would have loved to get another Eve Room, but the reduced price isn't actually available on Amazon.

EDIT: The "Room" is available for $79.96 as a "limited time deal" right now (3pm PST)

Is the Google Hub even worth it?

 

[Bistroengine]

Several products you have listed under “Non-HomeKit” compatible devices are actually HomeKit compatible. The Ecobee Thermostats for one.

Is the Google Hub even worth it?

If you want to pay to give up your privacy...yes.

LIFX is running some great deals on their HomeKit compatible smart lights.
They are offering 25-50% off their lights and if you enter the code LIFXVIP you can get another 10% off on top of it all.
I just bought a six pack of the LIFX mini color to go with 3 other lights I own from them.

I by far prefer LIFX bulbs over hue and have used both for a while now.

I find the LIFX offers deeper colors, brighter lights, and a far cleaner UI in their app than the Hue brand.

I got the Arlo 2 camera setup that is 270 everywhere for 239 from Walmart almost 2 weeks ago.

I currently have Hue bulbs, but have been hearing more about LIFX and I’m thinking of switching....

I have one; it's pretty great for my kitchen. I use it as a glorified kitchen timer as well as for recipes, conversions, etc. One plus to it that I didn't really think about until I got it is that you can use it as a Chromecast target. So, I've used it to watch content in the kitchen while cooking, etc. Personally I think it was a great value even at its original price. It's a nice device.
