Ratings and reviews

The app has made quite the change since it was first out. But the stability of the app connection to the device has always been finicky since I started with this. Connection to smartthings was the largest attraction to me to have a real smart home effect, but that took 2 years to even be passable in my experience. I don't think I'll give the smartthings connectivity another try. Now, without smartthings, this is left with a good motor and not much more. Sorry to say

LOL this company is still in business? This isn't the place for a hardware review but I will say this is in my Top 5 for worst home automation products. The app is mediocre. I've lost one of the three devices I bought and I'm just waiting for the others to fail too. Look elsewhere for shade control; outdated product now.

As others have said, axis will win no races. Hardware install was easy. Smart things integration requires some hoops to jump through but it works well once setup. Can now voice control with Alexa now as well since my smart things is tied to that. It would be possible to use ifttt with smart things and webcore, a work around I use for other smart things devices
