This was a ghastly experience dealing with this app. I bought a camera on Amazon awhile back and went to set it up. It makes you download this app in order to enable it across WIFI. The whole experience was Rube Goldberg, sit and listen to an annoying beep while it tries to connect to the phone so that the app can enable your WIFI connection. Needless to say, I was never successful accomplishing those steps. Avoid this app and its associated hardware like its the plague!
Not that bad, not that great. It works with minimal functionality. The app seems to regularly log the account out, and doesn’t seem to save login info, which is VERY annoying. Not sure if this is happening with updates or what, but hands down the worst. Don’t make people constantly login to an app on their phone. Or, add some sort of biometrics and login save that works. Either or.
I have multiple different apps for many different led lights that I have around the house, and this is by far the worst one. My main problems lies with the lack of customization of the lights. Most other apps allow you to customely have the lights switch between different colors and patterns to your liking. However this app has preset options with set color choices for theses actions, meaning that whenever I use these lights, I will typically just have them on one solid color.
Please fix the bug… The app is great, but it has a bug that causes it to randomly close. Clearing the cache doesn’t resolve the issue. I’ve Uninstaller and reinstalled the app and it’s still doing the same thing. As a result, I can’t safely monitor my home. The app is giving a notification saying that the app has a bug that the developer needs to fix. I hope this is fixed soon so I can give the app 5 stars. I’ve sent an email and I’m awaiting a response.
This app stinks. Not intuitive; lots of missing capabilities; clearly not UX tested. I added 3 matching smart bulbs to my home at the same time. Each one required a different method of adding as a new device in the app. It appears that only white light settings can be saved as tap-to-run scenes.
I have to say, the support team here is far above most you encounter these days. I initially had no problem for a couple of months but then started getting strange occurrences when receiving a motion notification on our cameras. I contacted support, and they responded quickly. They worked closely with me for several days (including over Christmas) until we found the problem and got it resolved. I highly recommend this app and thank the support personnel for making this a great experience.
I use it for a smart ceiling fixture which works well enough in the app. It’s a little confusing to use and there’s a few different options for routines and scheduling scattered around. My biggest issue is that it won’t connect to my Google home app to be controlled with voice commands. I tend to use that feature with every other one of my smart lights
App works like it did before. Thanks! I’m using it to connect to a pet feeder with a camera. Edit: App still works well, but after the last update, the notification sound when it senses movement will go off multiple times instead of just once. Hopefully gets corrected. For now I’ve turn off notifications for this app as it’s kinda annoying.
I use this app for my LED lights, and I must say I am impressed. I can do different color patterns and other things normal LED lights can’t do. The only problem is that it takes a second or two to turn on the lights from my phone, so sometimes I worry if its broken. In the end, it still hasn’t broke. Although, when I change colors is surprisingly changes right away. I plan on buying from here again!
It’s okay at best. The playback feature is lacking. You can pinch to zoom or shrink the time line for course or fine time lengths, but there’s no option to playback at a faster speed. The detection settings catch things that aren’t there, and miss things that are there, so a faster playback rate would be beneficial.
The app updated to a more sleek look a little while ago, and with the update I lost a basic important functionality that is hard to do without. When looking at the saved footage on the app, the timeline is no longer marked with motion alerts, so I have to remember the time I wanted from a notification message, and manually find it in the timeline if I want to review. The worst thing is the functionality was there before the design overhaul.
Works well but, since the last update, it gives a continuous notification sound when it detects a human form. It used to give just one alert sound. Now I have to either swipe away the notification or open the app. This is not always convenient. Please fix this. Thank you!
My outdoor cameras have a mind of their own. The app constantly doesn’t give me access to turn them or move directions. The camera adjusts it self and gets stuck thru the app, doesn’t give me access to see my videos since it is always offline or trying to retrieve video wifi works fine. One camera will show me stuff, other gets stuck on a screen and I see a moving vehicle that never moves, even hours later it is still in motion but never move. The recordings show a picture not the movement.
Using it for a month now for Water heater switch and Smart lights, and I have 3 issues with it so far: 1 – The app’s notification is showing 24/7 and can not be swiped away. 2 – There is no log to show when things actually worked. 3 – In the Water heater switch interface, some options cancel each other and it is not clear enough. I already found the heater working for 8 hours because on option canceled another with no clear message.
App let’s me sort alarms based on human detection after the fact. I need it to ONLY alarm when a human being is detected. It doesn’t seem to allow this. If I’m wrong please tell me how to do it. As a result, way to many useless alarms. Seems to alarm on most anything from shadows to mystery alarms. Actually makes it pretty useless as a security tool. Should rename it “The app that cried wolf”.
If you just want to switch a light on or off—this APP does that! If you dream of using automations, forget it! The Automations are not reliably working. Example: Change of Temperature should trigger a switch (heating)—it sometimes works for a day, and then it stops working for the next day. The devices are connected to the Network and work manually. Just the automation does not work. My support ticket from 9/2022 was never looked. Get a Raspberry Pie and Smarthome software.
Works very good for the indoor security cameras. The app works perfectly on the phone. I can monitor live view activities for hours. The app functions does everything that I need it to do. Once I had an understanding of the features and how they work, I’m going to switch out old devices and buy new ones that can be used by this app. Thank you developers for all that you do. I know about the work you do to make apps work for consumers.
Last year I bought an RGB LED chain. For its use there is this app. There are various lighting schemes in the app, but it doesn’t have some of the features that are available on the separate IR remote. However, there is also a ‘coming soon’ tab in the app, which gave hope that there would be additional options. Unfortunately soon has yet to happen despite a year having passed.
Easy to connect, easy to set up, and once you have identified the area of surveillance it does everything promised. I don’t use the cloud, I installed an SD Card. Once it’s formatted properly it records any human movement and notifies you with a snapshot. You can then view the video clip. Amazing buy for the price.
Some times it goes offline randomly and back on. When we first got it and used motion sensor it would move without us being in the app or anyone around for it to pick up, no wind, no moving objects but it’s moving here & there. Without motion it works fine still. You can hear conversations really well. Some times pick up ones coming from inside and my home is brick, so keep that in my. Could be better but I’ve had worse🤭
Camera live video feed will not load in the morning. App keeps saying that it’s connecting to camera for more than 10 minutes. The camera is connected to my router and my network is functioning well at 320 Mbps download speed. At nightime the app connects to the camera instantly, with a clear image. I think the problem is with the server…. maybe there’s too much traffic in the morning. It’s a very annoying problem and needs to be fixed. Is there another app I can use with the smart camera?
I ordered a pack of 6 Bluetooth lightbulbs that use this app. While I can control each one fine individually, this app also has a “tap-to-run” feature that allows you to accomplish multiple functions (e.g. turn on two lights) with one button. However, a glitch in the app results in only the very last task in the tap-to-run being executed; the first, second, and so on tasks are ignored and not executed. This defeats the entire purpose of this feature and is very frustrating.
I use this app for my robot Vac. Everything was fine until a few days ago when the app said that there is a new update. The problem is the update doesn’t download – and I’ve tried THREE TIMES!! It just keeps saying “checking for updates”. You can’t use the app because it won’t let you use it without the update THAT WON’T UPDATE. PLUS, if you go to the “scenes” page, there’s a pop-up suggestion that you can’t click out of and it makes the app freeze. So, basically, the app is completely useless.
I use this app with the 2 cameras I have. The cloud storage IS ALWAYS messed up. Right now it won’t play back anything even though it shows 2 weeks worth of videos. If a camera gets disconnected, you have to completely reset it. I’ve spoken with support and it has taken weeks for them to fix the issue only for the same issue to occur again. I have SD cards coming and will drop the cloud service, but if this doesn’t work. I’ll toss these cameras and go with a better one.
We bought our 3 cameras, 2 hooked up. Unable to use all the functions. Cannot enable notifications. Cannot change motion sensitivity, unable to see anything from the backyard camera due to a huge glare coming from the light fixture glass. The camera out front is great no glare at all. I don’t understand the difference between them. Love these cameras but the app sucks. Can’t use or set up like they should be to work as they are supposed to.
This app is very glitchy. 1. Sometimes it is not able to make an encrypted channel and retry won’t help. Have to close out/forcestop and try again. 2. After a live video is showing it will then freeze and have to close/forcestop again. 3. Switching from one camera to another the live video won’t load and only shows black screen. Closeout/forcestop again. 4. This app needs major updates the slowness and glitchy actions of this app is rendering the cameras useless. Forget about 2 cameras
I bought the dual band wifi camera because some single bands have had issue with mesh networks. This app and camera were a breeze to set up. I liked it so much I bought a second. It literally took me one minute to connect to my wifi, and one minute to format the 128GB micro sd card. I now have cameras on front and back porches. Amazing features for the price – PTZ, two-way audio, LED lights and IR sensors. The App has smart configurations. Very happy at this time.
very nice set up. controls many devices. There are a lot of nice features like timed on/off, different colors, color scenes, and much more. The only drawback is I have to reconnect an item (light bulb or smart power strip) from time to time. Worth downloading.
pretty fun and awesome.and helpful so far. we’ve been using it almost a week and have all but forgotten about feeding the cat. I’m leaving the review about a week into using the smart feeder for a young cat and we have it set on different food portions for different times of day, we’ve set it to feed around the time the kids will be in the kitchen so it can be a fun activity and also hassle free. fun. I got 2 of these used from the nextdoor app for $10 each!
Since the last update, Volcano finally fix the issue with programming the smart bulb. It finally changes colors again after losing the ability for several weeks. After contacting Volcano and sending them required information, they never responded. Because of the way this entire issue was handled I’m giving this 3 stars. Update: now it’s gone again. Two stars. ⭐⭐
The app is a bit buggy on tablets and not a clean experience. Also, not all devices can have scene controls for some reason, despite being able to have scene controls individually. Other than that, great pairing to google home app and quick touch and voice activation for lights and outlets.
We just bought 2 of these. 1 for the front and 1 for the back. Had lots of trouble to getting either one up running. So called for technical support. Had us up and going on the backdoor with in minutes. Seemed ok so tried to set up the other one with my wife’s phone. Would not set up after several times with no luck. So then check the one we had set up and then it would not work. Then noticed it went off line. Tried numerous times to get back on line and would come back up that was yesterday.
The plugs and app work great for the most part, but if I lose internet service or power, the outlets will no longer work with my Google Assistant until I re-set up everything. They will work through the app just fine, but my assistant will tell me it’s unavailable. This only happens when power goes out (or internet, which is very rare) so it’s not terrible but in the winter it’s a pain. Not sure if it’s a fix that needs to be addressed on your end or Google’s
This app is great for my lights. There are a few settings that have strange number ranges like 1000 vs 100 but maybe it’s to give you more control for fine tuning. They just don’t explain the few features it has that are a bit harder to use. It would be nice if they had tips or explanations with all the features and automations. I was able to figure most out by trial and error. But can’t beat it for its basic functionality.
I gave the app 3 stars because the Motion Tracking leaves much to be desired. After the camera has tracked a moving object such as a passing car, the camera often times moves to a position that renders the camera useless. It would be a great feature if once the camera is in position, the use could press a button labeled ‘Home’ so that the position is set and saved. If the camera has moved and there is no motion for 90 seconds, then the camera would automatically move back to the home position.
After records the camera stops at weird angles and does not go back to its original position you have to manually change the camera position back. Also during playback the bar where it tells the time for each incident you cannot see it cuz it’s black that needs to be fixed because if you need to turn in footage to the police you can’t see. Apparently some functions you don’t have access to till there’s an actual recording to change features. Like the basic functions key that kind of thing.
Great app with one exception. The outdoor temperature in the Environment section regularly fails to automatically sync with the reading in the “Cozy Home” section on the main screen. You are apparently able to manually update the Cozy Home temperature (by pulling down the screen and releasing), but that does not work either when the app does not auto sync it. I’m hoping the developer will troubleshoot this problem and finally get it to work reliably.
Only works 50%. Scheduling on and off times works great. However, despite setting up a lighting schedule to run with the misting schedule, lighting doesn’t respond. I have it start misting at 6:15am, with NO LIGHT. Light turns on everytime mist turns on, and wakes me up. (It’s bright!!!) I must have my phone handy to turn off the light, so I can sleep longer. 🙁 If you’re going to offer light control and scheduling, please make sure it works properly!!!
So this app is very functional and good. I use it for the garage door controller. The two stars is for a very specific use case. There is a major issue with how the app behaves in the event of no network connection. Rather than displaying “unknown” or “network error” the app’s logic defaults to showing “open”. This is very frightening to see. Without network, you cant check the logs to see if this is true. I know this now, but if this can be fixed my 2 would change to 5.
Terrible! There’s no way to set the sensitivity on the motion detection because there is No Motion Detection setting even though the FAQ and the brief manual says there is. The alert goes off constantly but there’s no video to see or no way to adjust it, along with freezing if you change it from night vision to color. You have to restart it to get it to work. And this is the second camera!!!
