Ratings and reviews

Required me to enter my location 3 times before it let me try to add a device, then forces you to connect to a 2.4Ghz network on the phone, then doesn't remember the details of the network you just connected to so makes you type it in again to send to the device. Unfortunately the password field in the app doesn't let you type in long passwords. I'm not going to change the password on every WiFi device I have just to be able to use a plug socket.

The app in general works great, but since either an update of the app or an update of the operating system on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, the controls at the top of the screen are in the area where the time and notification icons go, so if I set a timer for example, the back arrow doesn't work and I have to quit out of the app and open it again to get back to the home screen.

Once you get the 2.4ghz band isolated between the device and phone for app setup, which is the painful bit, and then establish your 5ghz band again, the app works like charm. It's very intuitive and slick at switching my garden lights on and off without me having to go outside to the box to do it .. brilliant just let down by the socket setup and not being able to detect and utilise 2.4 when both bands are active I would otherwise think 5 stars when up and running
