Unreliable integration with Apple Home
I purchased the Automate system specifically for integration with Apple Home, so I could open and close blinds with Hey Siri. The system works fine for a few weeks, but then the hub becomes unresponsive and the only solution is to remove it from Home and add it back again. This is very painful if you have lots of blinds and automations, because you have to rename and recreate everything. After 3 failures and no help from Support I have given up. Do not purchase this system if Apple Home integration is important to you.

Infuriating software and hardware
After spending 2 hours going through various bugs with ChatGPT I finally got the shiny demon to connect with my blinds using Ethernet. For about 24hrs. Then pairing failed the app gave confusing messages, was slow to respond and generally seemed designed to drive the user to despair. This app is for $300 hub that looks beautiful but is pure evil. The app also looks nice compared to the old Rollease Acmedia and the gen 1 hubs, but the big difference is that it rarely works. As per the hardware software upgrade trap, built in future vulnerable equipment is upgraded with features no one wanted and a plethora of bugs.I have been frustrated before, but the Kafkaesque torture of this beta app is a thing of genius.
