Ratings and reviews

For the most part it does what it needs to do. There are two things I'd like to see improved: the timing in "schedules" needs to be improved. The lights will turn on too early somehow. Additionally, I would like to be able to select for which lights I want to set schedules instead of setting it for the entire room. Just a little bit of extra control would already improve the use of this app. Or I would like to set a scene in a schedule for example. That would work too.

I've had this app for years in multiple homes I've lived in, it's awful. Every single day I have go through the process of reconnecting the lights because they just suddenly dont work. I go through all steps, ensure they're on a 2.4 connection, but every single day it does this. I wake up in the morning spending 5-10 minutes reconnecting every light, and come home late from work not able to turn on my lights because "oh you need to check your wifi". It's 2024, we can't figure out wifi connection

Complete horror show to set up. I used this app years ago and it's no better now. Been at it for over an hour now and can't get one light connected. Smart pairing never works, manual pairing will connect one light and then can't control that light as soon as you connect a second. I remember it working pretty well previously if you had the patience to set it up. Can't find the lights, can't connect to the wifi, just one issue after another.
