### 1/5 — Pathetic design

*2026-08-07, version 3.3.0*

The software UI design is terrible, and the pairing process for multiple devices is like performing self-dental surgery.    The bridge doesn’t support 5ghz which was NOT clear ahead of purchase.   It’s 2026, this is a case of a company that’s not reinvesting and modernizing.  Would never recommend these tools / this brand in future

### 1/5 — European Software:Beware

*2026-08-06, version 3.3.0*

Sucks. I live in a high desert and the designers have no idea what’s required to manage a dwelling in this environment. Their arrogance and ignorance is unmatched in my experience. Shame on this company.

### 1/5 — Velux Dissapointment

*2026-08-01, version 3.3.0*

Works only sometimes. Is that better than not at all?  Certainly annoying.

### 1/5 — love the skylight hate the help

*2026-07-17, version 3.3.0*

the instructions for remote use through the gateway r worthless.  the lack of support is why i won’t be buying any more

### 1/5 — Installation is super complex.

*2026-07-16, version 3.3.0*

Devices do not easily connect. Unable to just simply plug and play

### 1/5 — Connecting new phone to old sat

*2026-07-16, version 3.3.0*

Very very very poor upgrade your phone and app does not work follow instructions still does not work really really poor

### 1/5 — Horribke

*2026-07-13, version 3.3.0*

Of all the automation apps i’ve used, this is the very worst. It is impossible to connect this app to the gateway. Once you finally manage to connect it using an entirely different method, it can see all your devices but control none. Total waste of electricity

### 1/5 — European Software:Beware

*2026-07-12, version 3.3.0*

Sucks

### 5/5 — Incredible Product

*2026-07-03, version 3.3.0*

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-07-02, version 3.3.0*
