Terrible

Wish I’d checked reviews before we bought the hub. The physical remote controls are far more reliable to use. The app says my blinds are open so can’t open… they are closed…. It never works. Save your money.

Terrible app, glitches and non of my automate shades pair

Broke after 3 months, terrible software and hardware

Several bugs need to be fixed

Controlling what percentage of shade you’d like with your blinds oftentimes end up being a hassle as the app glitches constantly and is unresponsive to inputs made in the app

Ridiculous

App is incredibly glitchy and hard to use.

So Many Bugs

Does not connect to Apple HomeKit. You’ll spend days trying, but it doesn’t work. Avoid.
