Some important features missing

There are basic important features that are missing in the app.
1: in a Routine, I need to be able to make a step start “when the previous one ends”
2: no way to clone a Routine

The lights I bought are nice.
I’ll adjust my rating when those features are delivered

I really like the lights so far

I just wish I was able to put colour code for Pacific colour

Terrible company

Their products do not connect to their devices reliably no matter what bs they tell you to do (swap to 2gH wifi blah blah) still nothing and ive done everything possible that can be done at this point. Dont bother with this overpriced junk.

Lights won’t connect to wifi

We have hours into attempting to connect the Smarter lights to wifi so they change color the way they’re supposed to. Waste of time, it never worked. I recommend trying another brand.

app heats up phone

so many UX issues and this app will heat up your phone when open.
