What am I missing? We bought an Opal for the "smart" functionality. Either the machine or the app is not so smart. Perhaps because this is a Bluetooth only connection, the controlling decive has to be close by, powered on, with Bluetooth signal transmitting. I guess that means I'll be able to use the smart aspects of this machine when I'm standing in my kitchen. I guess that's "1990s smart". Hmmmm

Unreliable app. If you manually turn off the device, the app interprets that as "I never want to use a schedule again." Schedules are disabled and sometimes completely erased. If the low water sensor comes on, the app prevents you from turning off the device. The button is greyed out. It also overrides the schedule, letting the maker run for extra hours instead of turning off at the scheduled time. This once again overrides all schedules and sometimes erases them.

The ice maker is great at making ice but the smart features are not well thought out or implemented. At the time of writing, the app has not been updated in over a year and the basic function of setting an off/on schedule requires an active bluetooth connection to a phone/tablet for it function. How about publishing the communication spec and let the community take it over for voice assistant integration, bug fixes, etc.?
