### 5/5 — Conner

*2024-08-08*

Conner was a huge help on multiple items and multiple occasions

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-02-09*

This app doesn’t work for programming. It only shows status of sensors and switches. No function for meshing two together. Spent 6 hours and called tech support and no response from them. The videos online say easy to use app and technical support not true.
