Ratings and reviews

Needs some polish. When you leave the app and then go back to it, it completely restarts with the splash screen. Very annoying when I quickly want to turn on or off a zone. On some occasions, it won't recognize my DAX88 and i have to restart the phone for it to work.

app stopped working. Dayton is not on the ball with keeping their apps up to date. going on 3 weeks now. edit: app started working again. FYI: During the month that it kept crashing, I found an integration for Home Assistant that allowed me to control it. update: started working again after 2 months. worked for a few weeks but now crashing again everytime it opens. Id probably go with HTD if doing a whole home system again. update 2: Feb 11, 2026 release seems to have fixed the crash..

App suddenly stopped working. Searched online for potential causes/fixes & sent an email to the help desk. Placed a call, found out recent update had bugs that need to be fixed. (Updated review) cannot in good faith recommend this app or any of their products that rely solely on using an app. When the app goes down, and it will... good luck getting resolution. Just check Reddit reviews. Many of us have essentially bought $1500 paper weights w/no assistance from company re: resolution.
