Can't complain. I ordered the smart plug and it works without any issues. Setup was very easy: Login- select device and WiFi network- wait for it to connect. All in all I'd say it was one of the easiest smart home items to setup (compared to Nanoleaf/Ikea/Alexa and Google) The only (minor) complaint I have is that the app doesn't seem to have a dark theme available and looks a bit outdated, which doesn't matter since the Google home integration works great, so I just use that.

I wanted a Bluetooth Thermostat to be independent from Wi-Fi. I said fine, the initial installation via Wi-Fi is ok to get the system running. I thought, afterwards I could just automatically connect via Bluetooth, like with my headphones, it's a Bluetooth Thermostat after all. I thought WRONG. Since this app always needs Wi-Fi to connect to the device via Bluetooth, it's not really Bluetooth applicable. So it does not meet my expectations. :-(

Could not put more. Software is bloatwared with notifications, need registration, also forced to agry with data collection. Bluetooth connection crashes. Then app ask to upload log or clear cash and also crashes. Without the app, heater controlles are useless.
