Bad user interface
This is a nice concept, but the interface wasn’t designed well. For example, it currently tells me “! Your devices need attention”. My “Dishwasher” device says “! Reported on Jan 9 at 3:02 am”. That’s it, there’s no way to find out what was reported or to reset it. There’s a graph of temperature and humidity, but they’re in range.
I finally threw them away. After many many false positives I had a real leak from a dripping sink. I dried the sensor off and after > 12 hours it was still beeping.

Meh
I wish there was a way to ping the sensors.

Fonctionne parfaitement, seulement le programmer à l’aide de la méthode sonore. La méthode Wi-Fi ne fonctionne pas.
J’avais le détecteur d’humidité Roost fourni par mon assureur(AssD), et puis changer d’assureur donc Roost ne fonctionnait plus avec l’app Assurance.
Maintenant à nouveau protéger.
Très hâte de voir s’il y aura des coûts mensuels ou s’ils vont devenir à la mode chez Roost !!!
Merci

Good devices, easy setup, bad app
With a more sophisticated app, this could be a really good product, but the app seems like it’s still in development. For example, there’s very few options for customizing the garage door sensor notifications. You get notified every time the garage door opens and closes. The notification is the same as a text message. Eventually I disabled all notifications from the door. It should be easier to see whether the garage door is open or closed on the home screen rather than having to click down. On the other hand, the devices are cheap and easy to set up. This rest is the easy part to fix! Hoping for an update to the app soon

Extremely difficult to use
We have a Roost battery in our kitchen’s smoke alarm. Cooking occasionally sets off or kitchen smoke alarm, so we got a Roost battery for it so we could easily turn it off when this happens. You’d think Roost would make this way to do, but NOPE! Incredibly unintuitive app
App crashes and difficult to install devices
This app and compatible products has a long ways to go! Received the device for free from USAA insurance company. The product certainly seems to have value for home protection, but set up and app functionality are poor. When the app and devices become compatible with Apple and the iPhone, I will increase the number of stars.

An app designed by an engineer
This app seems to have been designed by an engineer working in this product, or otherwise by someone who does not pay attention to Ui design, user-friendliness, collection of focus-group feedback or A/B testing - or pretty much any type of work which is required for a main-stream application. It is hard to configure the application for in-home use without guessing whether a ‘logical-and’ or a ‘logical-or’ is intended, something which should not have been necessary for a consumer-facing app. Overall a disappointment for a hardware product that could have been great.

Doesn’t work at all
Attempting to connect water sensors to WiFi. The app keeps saying they are successfully connected but then says something went wrong.
Pretty much a totally useless product

Horrible device and service
This device was impossible to connect to my Wi-Fi, so I called roost and each time I called the voicemail said no one is available to take your call. Horrible! Andrew
Poor app
Instructions to set up are not clear. I have given up and am returning the devices.
