Customer Service

I’ve called three or four times to get help with the WiFi and rain module and each time the service was exemplary! I’ve spoken with Alex, Angel Ang Liz, probably others too, and each time the service was great! And I got the WIFI and rain gauge working!!!

Unreliably slow

I’ve dealt with this app for 5 years. It’s incredibly slow connecting to the controller. Usability could also use some tremendous work.

Works but slow as hell

This app functions and lets you control your system but operates incredibly slow. Every time you open the app or connect to the controller or make a change or save a change made the app has to connect and it takes 1-2 minutes which is a lifetime when you have to do it multiple times. Sometimes it’s faster to just walk into the garage and make the change manually on the control panel.
