Ratings and reviews

It was useful until the app started showing false "door open" events. The app provided zero clues. The web suggested to recalibrate the sensors, but recalibrations were timing out. I ended up deleting the sensors and the bridge, but the app was failing to connect the bridge popping up a useless "unexpected error" message with a laughable suggestion to start from scratch. I submitted a support request a week ago, but didn't get a reply. I now very regret that I get inolved with the system.

Setup is really buggy, instructions don't really make sense. Temperature seems accurate, I haven't test the other detections like water and movement. Setup: when adding the bridge it got stuck on the "Adding bridge" step and then just went back to the page to add a bridge. When clicking the button add bridge at the bottom, the screen would just flash for half a sec and do nothing else. Resetting bridge and killing app didn't help. I killed it again then it worked. Sensors were a pain too.

The biggest issue that I had with the app on Android Pie was that notifications were not being delivered. After the notion support contacted me, it turned out that the setting of the app to detect location was set to off by default and I had chosen to receive notifications only when I was away from home. However, the app was unable to detect my location and didn't send notification. After manually enabling location detection in the app, notifications started getting delivered. Notion customer service is really great. Julian from the customer service team was very helpful in checking everything with me step by step until the issue was resolved.
