2024-05-24	Ni*****	Edit May2024: now the ifttt is stuffed could you consider adding widgets to the app It works just fine, nothing fancy but does a great job... Wish it could be integrated with almond or ring Edit: now it supports ifttt, I can't think of any better and more simple solution. It's one of those things that you forget you have, it's flawless so far

2019-06-22	A *****	He fixed my bug 1 day! Works great with my Amazon Alexa and multiple phones. I love internet-one-click mode so I'm NOT confined to Bluetooth. Receiver works great for years in cold Wisconsin winters. Cheaper than replacing the lost universal remotes, and batteries. I especially appreciate the multiple advanced options & secure app but still allows you to turn off certain security features to make it easier. I like having the options myself for how to connect to the app.
