### 1/5 — Multi Piper cams

*2021-10-22, version 2.8.0*

Ice have had 4 Piper cameras, several Zwave lights, several motion detectors. When power goes out and comes back, sometimes Piper recovers well. Lately I’m not sure what is going on.
On October 20th something changed and the app says Piper is offline, usually I do a power off, wait, wait and then power on and it comes back.
I have spent allllll day doing resets, factory resets, setups and nothing is finishing. I had messages that passwords, that have been in use are not valid. So far I can’t recover my Piper system. 
I’m not even sure Piper support is out there anymore. I’ve tried calling the support number and it always rings busy. 
Not very happy with my system anymore. Lots of investment in Piper supported lights, motion detectors, and it’s all crap now

### 5/5 — Deprecated - still works

*2021-05-11, version 2.8.0*

App, website and product are all outdated. The company disbanded. 

However, if you have the device and this app, it still works fine. IFTTT support is gone.

### 1/5 — Stealing passwords/data from clipboard!

*2021-04-27, version 2.8.0*

Opening the Piper app shows an iOS 14 notification “Piper pasted from xxxxx” (whatever app you last copied something from). This is a well known vulnerability which Apple refuses to address, and iControl Networks doesn’t care to update over the last 2 years. The company that bought them out doesn’t even sell product anymore, just collecting our passwords and other data via this sneaky app.

Oh and we lost IFTTT implementation when the company sold out too. Terrible.

### 3/5 — Recent Problems Fixed

*2019-08-30, version 2.8.0*

I was also experiencing problems with my Piper this week but I received updates and assistance from customer service. My system is back online.

### 4/5 — Other people are wrong!!!

*2019-08-21, version 2.8.0*

If you unplug piper, the alarm keeps going, because it has batteries. It is easy to setup, and it makes you feel safe.

### 2/5 — Used to be useful

*2019-06-06, version 2.8.0*

I’ve had the piper for a few years now and for the most part I’ve found it to be dependable. My biggest disappointment has come of recent with the discontinuation of IFTTT support. I’m sure it has to do with money, it’s always about money... but IFTTT really covered the spaces where pipers app lacked. One simple feature is just having a simple on/off time, geofencing is nice when it works... and come on guys, Life360 integration has been in beta for more than 3 years! Honestly the updates are bug fixes and that’s it, no advances in the usefulness of the app. The Home Vitals is a good feature, but it’s really just statistics, you can’t do anything with it, and it only keeps 48 hours at a time on record. There are a lot more features this app could provide, but it really just feels like the company has stopped caring and given up.

### 1/5 — New update make wireless accessories fail

*2019-04-04, version 2.8.0*

Now the on and off wireless accessories do not work in new updates anymore. When I remove them from the app and try to add the wireless accessories back, it does not work at all. Like usually when you add the wireless accessories, it should has a pop up said you can click your wireless accessories to pair. But now, they don’t have this pop up and directly said no signal from your wireless accessories. I’m happy to see continue improvement on the app. But please keep the basic functionality work first. Home security should be serious!!!

### 5/5 — Great Camera and Security.

*2019-03-08, version 2.8.0*

I have two and I could not be happier.
If you have trouble connecting to your network remove the batteries and plug-in the device,  Piper will find your network, then put the batteries back in.

### 5/5 — 3 years +

*2018-12-16, version 2.8.0*

Piper just works, z-wave hub makes (home automation) makes it very useful. Love it and highly recommend it. Not sure they and doing any new development work like integration with Goggle home etc.

### 5/5 — Long time user, great experience

*2018-12-15, version 2.8.0*

I have greatly enjoyed and appreciated my Piper. I look several years later and still nothing comes close. I can see my door openings and closings on video, motion recordings, temperature, movement graphs, and more - no extra fee and recordings are held. I have not had connection issues, although I have to re- add devices, mainly after big power outages. I’m sad the big guys have made them disappear when it is the best home device out there.
