Ratings and reviews

Communication between the app and the console is horrible. We always get a could not connect message when trying to change a setting. When arming or disarming. Even after tuning our cell on and off it does not refresh. It works when it wants to. Not very safe considering it's a monitored alarm system. 07-2023 UPDATE Why does the thermostat take FOREVER to update??? It's a waste of energy if it's not reading and updating on/off in a timely manner!! Refreshing the screen RARELY works.

Update on 12/9/2018: lowered to 3 stars. App widgets no longer work with Samsung s9+. By no longer work I mean it works 10% of they time. One widget seems to always fail. It has a scene with 5 commands. Update on 10/5/2017: I do like this app still but I wish the widgets would notify me that they ran successfully. When I run a widget to set the alarm from work or the store (bc I forgot to set it when I left), I find myself double checking in the main app. Defeats the purpose of having the widget. Original: I use GE zwave plus switches with this app. Works great. Small delay sometimes up to 5-10 seconds but normally around 2-3 seconds. I'd imagine that is more the devices and distance more than the app itself. Overall I'm really satisfied and my wife loves just pressing the movie scene from the couch. App has widgets for Android OS that allows me to run scenes right off the home screen. I have 6 devices currently and I might get more but just did the essentials for now bc it's cost $$$$. Can't wait until these switches are just the norm.

I love being able to arm/disarm remotely; it's so convenient! I also love having the ability to check our videos, "answer" the door remotely when the doorbell is rung, etc. However, it drives me nuts that our doorbell camera records every little thing, and it's on the lowest setting! Its eaten up our video space many times and I'm already over 50% for the month of February. I'd hate for something bad to happen and it not get recorded because our camera decided to record a leaf blowing by.
