### 2/5 — Not a fully functional app

*2026-07-24, version 3.1.8*

I can’t access or set up features that are within the app, making much of the features useless.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-07-15, version 3.1.8*

My question is is this the watch dog that will shut down or not is my question if power goes to high or to low or if something is wrong

### 5/5 — Insurance

*2026-03-16, version 3.1.8*

Do not risk it

### 4/5 — Almost a 5

*2025-10-25, version 3.1.8*

Decent app but miss by making you select your system every few times you try and access it. Most people would only ever have one system, why go to a system selection when you only have one?  Other than that, a pretty good app.

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2025-08-30, version 3.1.8*

Device will not connect. Has only connected once in 5 camping trips.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2025-06-16, version 3.1.8*

I wish you could check the watch dog from home but ones you leave camp ground it’s lost connection and I hate that wish we could monitor all times

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-05-18, version 3.1.8*

After having other surge protectors, this one is by far the best we love it

### 5/5 — Easy to install

*2025-02-23, version 3.1.8*

I hate to admit this, but I’ve been to quite a few rv parks that charge  for electricity I got this device so I can keep an eye on how much power I use

### 5/5 — Tracer light 30 amp

*2025-01-21, version 3.1.8*

Been using the unit for more than three years has been flawless 30 amp unit

### 4/5 — A gem of a product!

*2024-08-02, version 3.1.8*

Works great giving real time info. Would love to see a wifi option so I know if power goes out while I’m away. And a time use with graphs. Just an idea. 

I work out of my camper and they charge me for my electricity…. This keeps them honest!
