Stopped working with Alexa

This app no longer works with Alexa (as of 12th April 2024) making my smart lights now junk.

As of April 2024 no longer works with Alexa

This worked fine for me (and others) but recently something has changed. Myself and many others woke up to multiple “unresponsive” smart plugs. Spent an hour or so on it, tried everything and no joy. Seen other review in Alexa where people having the same problem. No update available on the App Store. 👎

Plugs no longer working with Alexa!

I know I’m not the only one but Alexa is not recognising my smart plugs, what’s going on!?

What happened to the system?

Smart plugs were working fine with Alexa until April 8th 2024. Before, the plugs worked fine but now intergration with Alexa is done. No plug response, Alexa reports server is not responding, can't enable the skill in any way, get "Error right now, try later". Tried all solutions and nothing. Can only use the Popotan app to control plugs. There was an update to Alexa but Popotan did not update as other apps did.

Dismal App. Good bulbs

So I got some light bulbs. I’d like to use them. You force us to register with you?!?

Seriously? I just wanted to turn on my lights!

Bulbs take forever to update. App is an example of how NOT to make a user interface. Very confusing & you must do the same silly things, over and over. Automation? Avoid this app at all costs.

Magic Home & Hao Deng are fine examples on how to manage smart lights. Seek that brand and app if you value time. 🫠

Signed me out and sign in button doesn’t work

This is really unfortunate as I had lots of outlets connected to my fish tank lights that are on a timer. Now can’t even log in or anything. The sign in button is greyed out and won’t work either.

As I choose

Everything is exactly how I want it to be because this app lets me do what I want

Doesn’t Connect

I tried for 2 hours to get it to connect but it doesn’t connect.

Meh

I love these lights but recently they stopped connecting to my phone. I have done everything I can think of but they will not connect. I loved how they connected to my phone tho. Just 🤏🏻 bit disappointed

Very annoying

I tried connecting the lights above 20+ times on this app, very disappointing since it took so many tries to get the lights to connect when everything was fine. Fix this please.
