I have 30 + plugs, G-Homa are expensive for what they are, that said, the accompanying app is free and has a lot going for it. It’s what made me use G-Home over any other plug.
It’s simple to use, has timers, count downs, image icons or pictures, groups, schedules and more.
The big issues with the app are:
1 - It’s not really user friendly. There are different options in different screens to configure the plugs. What I mean by this is the count down timer (max on time) is accessed via the main list of plugs. The timer to switch things on then off automatically are within the plug settings screen.
2 - With the new iOS, you cannot add any new plugs! The plugs work on the 2.4 ghz ranger rather than the 5 ghz. Given my iPhone connects to the 5, in the app, it shows what Wi Fi the phone is connected to rather than been able to sea h for any that are available. The problem here is that, even if you close the app, change your iPhone Wi Fi network to a suitable one then go back into the app, it still doesn’t change the Wi Fi name. Because of this, new plugs cannot be added.
If you’re using it with existing plugs, it’s fine, just don’t change your Wi Fi name, reset your plugs or buy any new ones!!!
