Random Compliments/Gratitude Thread

 @scottalanmiller said: the mystique  I like how a compliments thread has degenerated into an AJ bashing thread. Way to go off-topic. Anyway, I'm British so won't be participating in the thread as we don't do this kind of thing. "Not bad, chap" is the closest I'd ever get to complimenting someone.

 http://www.staples.com/Staples-Connect-HUB-Kits/cat_CL211634 is what i'm talkin bout.I know a little about these but not necessarily our brand. Usually you replace your thermostat with a digital version that can be tapped into via a browser portal, etc. We don't sell these in-store, and Staples is currently working to rival Amazon in the online space so it's not surprising I haven't seen these. Our SKU system had been 6 digits since the company's founding in the 80s and they ran out of SKUs last year some time, so now it's up to 7 digits. Did you have any specific questions about them? It's designed so you can, usually from a smartphone, turn on things like your entryway lights, turn on/up the heat/AC before you get home, etc. You can also automate these things on a scheduling system. Pretty neat I think.
