Häfele Connect Mesh 2.0 User Reviews

Top reviews

Can’t re connect after another App user has connected.

Mesh 2 has some great features but it can also be really really frustrating!

Example if 2 people have the App and I close app after use and say the second person connects, the first person is now totally locked out of the app at all times.
It’s frustrating because if you are one now wants to use you need to do a full space Install/reconnect back to the mesh box.
Once you do this and you trial/test to see if working the second person is now locked out and needs to reconnect to mesh mesh box Install.

Surely two people can have the app on their device.
I understand one user at a time connected to Bluetooth, but if the other person is signed out, then the next person should be able to connect.

This also makes it really frustrating if one person has left the house and the lights need to be changed.
Once again, you have to do a full install or reinstall to be able to access lighting.

Would love to hear from support if there’s a setting or something that are required to do to prevent this from happening.

Timer not working still

Tried many emails with Haefele customer service, updated the app many times, rewrote my schedules, and the timer still only works randomly. Sometimes the lights come on per schedule, sometimes they turn off early.

Inductive light switch now randomly requires two swipes to turn lights off and on.

I waited 2 years for the time function and unfortunately it doesn’t work. My daughter’s $20 Amazon LED lights, however have a flawless times. Haefele can do this.

Poorly developed

Ever since I’ve updated this App my Bluetooth doesn’t pick up the signal and nothing works.

Features Don’t Work

Update: Schedules do work now, but limited. Devices (groups) cannot be used in multiple schedules. For instance, I want lights to turn on for a couple of hours in the evening, then again early in the morning. If I set up two schedules to do this, neither works. I can only include the group in one schedule. It would also be nice to be able to include individual devices in a schedule. Currently, you need to create a group with a single device if you only want that device. Another recommendation for schedules is to have the default to every day instead of no days. Last comment is a repeat from my original review - which “hubs” or “gateways” will work?

Original review: V2 is much better than V1. However, the newly added schedule feature doesn’t appear to work properly. You can set up schedules, but nothing happens at the scheduled times. My lights don’t turn on. Scenes don’t work properly either. Once you create a scene, you can’t turn it off or deactivate it. I had to turn the lights off manually and delete the scene I created. Integration with Alexa isn’t described well. It appears that you will need to purchase a connect mesh “hub” or “gateway” that will connect to the bluetooth connect mesh network, but no information is provided to describe which devices are compatible.

Dear Hackettcs, thank you very much for your feedback! The scheduling issue you raised has been fixed in version 2.04, which is already available for download. Scenes work as they should. Bluetooth mesh scenes can be understood as stored light values that can be activated. As all the lights in a scene can be in other groups/scenes, we never know the previous state. So it's not possible to switch them "off". As you described, the Häfele gateway is required to connect to Amazon Alexa. I have noted that more information is needed here. - Kind regards, Julian from your Connect Mesh team
