### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-08-30*

Just crashes every time. Stuck with a useless device because the app is crap

### 3/5 — Schedule doesn’t work well

*2017-09-27, version 1.7.1*

Wen setting the schedule my light would not turn off on schedule.

### 4/5 — A little tricky to initially set up - but good overall

*2016-04-17, version 1.7.1*

The initial setup of the plug was a little tricky.  I had to do it twice to get it working correctly. You have to set up the wifi of the plug first - then you connect it to the app using the qr barcode and password printed on the card that comes in the box.

Once setup it seems ok - there are numerous schedules that can be setup - daily / weekly / monthly / timer / and several different schedules that can be set up.

I hope it will be reliable as it's going to go in my attic.
