Die Geräte verlieren das „Gedächtnis“ und das System geht ohne erkennbaren Grund in den offline-Modus. Also: Das ganze ist nicht alltagstauglich und herausgeschmissenes Geld. ### 1/5 — Commentaire négatif signalé *2024-10-22, version 1.5.0* Puisque le précédent a été signalé je vais le réécrire. Gadget inutile puisque ne fonctionne pratiquement jamais. Fonctionne 1 fois sur 100. Ne pas le prendre ### 1/5 — Dauerhafte Probleme *2024-09-10, version 1.5.0* Ewig fliegt man aus dem System und die Anmeldung funktioniert nur jedes 10. mal… völlig unprofessionell ### 1/5 — Einfach schlecht *2024-06-19, version 1.5.0* Ist sein geld nicht wert.. es schaltet sich zur gewählten uhrzeit nicht ein und man muss sich ständig neu anmelden und jedes mal ein neues Passwort anfordern.. super nervig das gerät wird wieder zurück gebracht und was anständiges gekauft. ### 2/5 — App funktioniert nicht mehr über Alexa *2024-03-27, version 1.5.0* Es kommt die Fehlermeldung: Error: Server Error The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds. ### 3/5 — Verbindunsprobleme *2023-11-02, version 1.5.0* Hallo aktuell treten massive Verbindungsprobleme mit Alexa auf Server nicht zu erreichen Verbindung nicht sicher usw. weis jetzt nicht den genauen Wortlaut… Bitte bald nachbessern Rest läuft gut ### 1/5 — Mehr oder weniger nutzlos *2023-09-19, version 1.5.0* Ein Timer der 50 % der Zeit nicht funktioniert und das bei einwandfrei funktionierendem WLAN. Leider eine absolute Fehlinvestition. ### 1/5 — De la m…. *2021-11-03, version 1.5.0* Bug en permanence 😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Ständig Ausfälle *2021-04-22, version 1.5.0* Zeitweise läuft es gut, aber oft Ausfälle über mehrere Tage. Das geht gar nicht. Für eine ernsthafte Nutzung nicht zu gebrauchen! ## Frequently asked questions about HomeWizard Lite ### What does the HomeWizard Lite app do?
