### 5/5 — Just WOW!

*2023-01-19, version 2.1.0*

People say money can’t buy happiness, they are lying buy Digilux ! 

Simple to set up, you won’t ever have to get out of bed to switch off the lights

### 5/5 — Love the new functions. Keep them coming.

*2022-12-03, version 2.1.0*

Keep the updates coming.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-09-06*

Great app pleasure to use ! So simple !

### 5/5 — Great interaction, nice and simple.

*2022-08-23, version 2.0*

My only advice would be to make sure that your apartment is ready for the app. Other reviews blaming the app for not connecting does not seem fair when clearly there system has not been setup to allow it.

### 5/5 — Great smart home app

*2022-07-19, version 2.0*

The app was so easy with the setup wizard 
The last app was one star! Lot faster, great flow - looks like another smart app.
Only suggestion to orcomm is can you allow non orcomm blinds to work with this app.

### 1/5 — Biggest joke of home automation app

*2021-11-07, version 1.0*

The entire Orcomm system is rather antiquated. A single bus with a 2 minutes delay on communication, a gateway overpriced with proprietary protocol, and finally a mobile app (this one) that requires a subscription. 
The app crushes multiple time, doesn’t overwrite the local settings, have extremely limited functionalities and doesn’t justify the monthly price.
Disappointing on all the fronts.

### 1/5 — No pairing available

*2021-09-17, version 1.0*

No pairing available in the orcomm.
It was there and has been removed
