User Reviews

Users praise temperature sensor support and API docs, but repeatedly report major reliability problems: the app often disconnects from devices, schedules don’t display or stay in sync, and setup is hindered by ad blockers and heavy permissions. DST/timer handling is a notable gap, and overall performance can be slow with a bulky permission footprint. While hardware devices may be solid, the software needs significant stability, better permission management, and better DST support.

Pros

Temperature sensors appear to work well
Good API/docs for integration
Overall product features are appealing and useful when functioning properly

Cons

Frequent disconnects and unstable device connections; reconnection often requires removing and re-adding devices
Scheduling/automation issues: some schedules not visible, editable, or staying in sync with devices
Setup is hindered by ad blockers and requires sensitive permissions (location, internet) that slow or block setup
Daylight Saving Time support is missing and timers break around DST
App is bulky and imposes excessive permissions with slow loading times

Recent reviews

Slow and janky, it takes ages to change a basic setting. Likely due to Bluetooth range issues, but the app provides 0 tools to troubleshoot those. Values manually keep showing even though the connection is gone.

different reading on graph and different shown on mail app screen. how its possible to still have that kind of bugs in 2026. Shame because sensors are not cheap.
