Ratings and reviews

Pairing absolutely does not correspond to the manual. When you plug it in it will go into pairing mode as the blue light on the top left will show. Tell it which Wi-Fi to get on as you add a device and it will work. You may have to fiddle with it whether the switch is in the 1 or 0 position as well as non-intuitive pairing with your phone.

The worst IoT App That I Have - I purchased a house in 2021, I've installed many apps to support a "Smart Home" (Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Kasa, Rachio, Chamberlain's MyQ, etc.) When we had a pond installed, I chose Aquascape since it had "smart controls" to control the pump and the lights. However, I'm extremely disappointed with the crude UI and the awful reliability of the Aquascape app. The automation feature works maybe 25% of the time, and integration with Alexa is equally unreliable.

I'm rating only the Android version of this app. The app frequently loses connection with the device, which requires one to reset the device and establish a new connection (ie, it won't just re-find the device and re-establish the connection). I haven't had this problem with the app on my iPad (yet), so the issue may be specific to Android. Less convenient than having the app on my phone, but I'll manage without it. I don't have further time to invest in an app that clearly requires a revision.
