Leave a Review Feit Electric
The best I’ve seen, but room for improvement
Honestly the best I’ve come across on the market. I was recently robbed and my neighbors with cameras didn’t capture when the thief went to their car but mine did. None of them had feit. Others had issues with their cameras batteries or simply capturing nothing or subscription issues. I’m thankful there are no additional subscription charges after purchase for feit. My neighbors had ring, adt, and a brand that I didn’t recognize. I realized my feit held more recording for a longer period of time. I appreciate the continuous recording option. However sometimes there are 1 minutes gaps where a time skips happens. I like that I can download the videos. But it would be nice if the video footage could do 10 sec skips when reviewing footage with the option to review footage in fast motion when I move the sliding button to a specific time. Those improvements would be nice. It would also be nice if the notification didn’t come on when the wind moves the leaves on my tree.Show lessShynoke
Hardware is pretty good SW needs some color
I’ve only had one switch stop working the dumber switch, but there are some issues with staying connected, especially with the plugs. I just don’t have range but if you have a good Wi-Fi router, I’ve never had a problem with the lights going out all worked and I have over 100 lights, the color ones are the cheapest possible you can find on the planet especially if you buy through Costco when they have a sale. A negative that needs changing is the std icon goes grey if the device is off. Then is has in WHITE LETTERING “OFFLINE” or “OFF” inside the light gra!!!! That’s just horrible graphics. it does so you could take a picture and substitute it you can put at least two schedules a day to repeat or just a timer to turn items off. There’s offline notification so those features rock especially for the price you can’t beat it. a bit of a hassle to get dimmer switches to work. I frequently have to go to the slow flashing mode. honestly only about half the time I can use them because there’s not enough wires to give it what it needs for a three-way connection these days with great rooms large open spaces you’re going to have at least a pair of three switches if not 3-5 of them controlling a large area. so that is a shortcoming of the hardware.Show lessNoNicjNameGiven
Hit or miss…
When the app works, it's pretty cool. When it doesn't work, which is the majority of the time, it's extremely frustrating. Among my lights, I have five bulbs in a chandelier where each bulb seem to have a mind of their own and work when they feel like it. Not just when trying to control them by the group, but individually as well. Bulbs randomly will not respond, sometimes saying they’re offline in the app (while they are working), etc. The next day they may work fine, so there's no rhyme or reason behind it that I can figure out. Also, the app never seems to update if a light is turned on or off without swiping down to refresh the app and forcing it to update the status. I've checked the App Store for updates, uninstalled/reinstalled the app, deleted/recreated the groups, as well as tried to remove and re-sync all the bulbs individually several times with zero success. l will update my review if the app ever starts working properly on a consistent basis. Until then it's a 2/5.Show lessAKA Wilson
