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

I've had a great experience with this app it helped me do exactly what I was trying to do which was connect thermostats and my air conditioners so I can see the temperature in my house from anywhere, set up a schedule for both the AC's and turn them on before I get home. Works perfectly and it's also connected to Alexa.

The ultralock and touch keypad are quality products as they are well made and very sturdy. The auto-unlock worked fine until the app firmware upgrade and the Samsung 8.5 UI upgrade. Not sure which caused the auto-unlock to not work anymore. I wish the notifications show which PIN or fingerprint unlocked the door. Lastly, I like how the batteries can last a long time.
