No fan control

Since they changed from the old one last week, I have no way of controlling the fan from my app

Smart thermostat HQ

This app doesn’t have any way to connect the New SmartHome Thermostat HQ, Everytime I call the 24inControl vendor it’s like I always get the same person as if one person is the support than he has to call alarm.com for help. Very frustrating

Less and less devices

Every time I add a device to my panel I need a new app and less and less is managed in a single place. Very annoying. Slowly becoming a very expensive door lock.

Doesn’t work with iPhone duo

The app does not work with the new iPhone duo. I’ve had to delete it and reinstall it multiple times and it still doesn’t work.

Suck but necessary

I had problems with the old app. So I downloaded the new app, and there’s nothing but problems. It never shows me the true status of the alarms.
