User Reviews

The Connector Android app is criticized for reliability and setup issues. While some users can control shades and perform basic open/close actions after linking to the hub, the majority report instability, frequent crashes, and pairing/hub disconnections. Devices often fail to appear, and support is reported as poor or absent. Reviewers also note a lack of third‑party integrations and limited automation features. Overall, core functionality exists but reliability and support are major drawbacks.

Pros

Core open/close control for shades works when connected to the hub.
Some reviewers report a decent feature set and that it can work after setup.
The app can control connected hardware (shades/cover) in at least some cases.

Cons

App instability and frequent crashes.
Difficult to add devices or pair with the hub; devices may not appear in the list.
Bridge/hub connection often breaks or isn’t recognized.
Poor or non-existent customer support; feeling of abandonment.
Lack of integrations with Google Home/IFTTT/Tuya and limited automation options (no percentage open; weak timers).

Works great. Has allowed me to integrate my RF controlled blinds via their wifi hub so that it can be managed in Google Home, Samsung Smarthings. Unfortunately doesn't have native support in Home Assistant yet, but have been able to add via Smartthings to Home Assistant
