Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Xtreme Connected Simple Home at 3.5 against TYPE S LED's 2.8. Xtreme Connected Simple Home also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). TYPE S LED's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
