User reviews

Excellent App!

I have found the app to be very easy to use, to add new devices, to configure and set smart scenes to control my entire Smart Home! This works icw my Solar PV setup, Grid sensor, Geyser management, and with other benefits of load management!

Geyser tuner

The most difficult device you can ever find in the hardware, wow

2stars for your weather accuracy

I like the idea behind your application to allow certain actions/scenes depending on weather. However your weather is showing sunny when it's rainy and cloudy. It's just you and that smart home app... Use a better weather service.

Good Idea

The app is a good idea. To control your devices in one place, set automation tasks and have everything work without intervention. However, the app is very buggy. The most recent bug: I turn my geyser off on the app, when I refresh the app, it shows as on again. And also, when you report these bugs on the app, you get no response at all

Edit: today I cannot switch on the geyser. The logs say the devices was turned on and off at the right time, but the water is cold. Turning it on manually, it fails and now my visitors are stuck with cold water.

Great Wireless Switch

Have been using multiple CBI Astute Switches over the last few years.

It seems most of the issues some of the people have complained about have been resolved:
1. Multiple devices can be controlled by adding them to a group.
2. Adding the device to Alexa or Google Assistant can be done by clicking the rename icon on the device and selecting the integration.

To the delevoper, the following improvements would be amazing for my use:
1. Setting daily power use limits would really help in saving electricity. I've tried creating a scene to turn off a device using the "Increase electricity > xkW" scenario, but it doesn't seem to work.
2. If there were a "Power Status" feature in a scene for a device to detect load shedding for example, I could use it to turn other devices off as well to preserve battery life.
