User Reviews

User reviews show a mix of affordability and easy basic use, but repetitive reliability problems. The most frequent complaints are gateway connectivity issues, app crashes, unreliable timers, and grouping problems with multiple lights. Several reviews also criticize the hardware’s price and complexity, plus limited helpful support. Overall sentiment is that the hardware is appealing, but the software experience is often buggy and frustrating.
Pros
  • Very easy to add additional lights and expand the system.
  • Simple app/UI for basic setup and control.
  • Cost-effective option for smart lighting hardware.
Cons
  • Gateway/hub connectivity is unstable and often won’t stay connected, requiring frequent reboots.
  • App instability and pairing crashes, with troubleshooting often being unhelpful or unclear.
  • Scheduling/timer functionality is unreliable or inconsistent (timers don’t apply color/brightness changes reliably).
  • Grouping and multi-lamp control are inconsistent, with devices dropping from groups or not syncing across rooms.
  • Perceived high price and hardware complexity, with multiple components and some quality/design concerns.

Works well when it works. Every few months, for no reason, it requires me to reset the whole system. Pain in my… I’m deleting it and just using the hockey puck.
