Review summary

The Powermate P2 app offers useful automation through scenes and works on iPhone with easy pairing, plus Alexa support. However, reliability is repeatedly criticized: frequent connectivity and login failures, unstable timers and schedules across shades, and limited or slow developer support. Setup problems and timeouts compound the frustration. In short, it can work for simple setups, but many users report unstable performance and poor ongoing support.

Pros

Scenes feature enables multi-action sequences with delays.
Easy pairing and works on iPhone.
Basic, functional app that handles the essentials without frills.
Alexa integration via Amazon skill enables voice/automation control.

Cons

Frequent hub connection and login issues; app times out or cannot connect.
Timer/scheduling is unreliable and inconsistent across multiple shades.
Poor ongoing support; developers often unresponsive and issues persist for years.
Setup/installation problems; wifi config and adding devices frequently fail.

2024-11-10	To*****	The app stopped communicating with my hub, even though it had been working for years. I tried deleting and re-adding the hub, but the setup process fails after you specify the WiFi SSID and password. I even tried a new hub thinking it was a fault with hardware, but no difference.

2024-05-04	km*****	The timer for my shade was working well, but within the last 1-2 months the timer is not reliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But according to the history it is working. Not sure what changed, but I have no problem manually opening/closing it on my app so the communication from my devices work. It must be an app glitch.

2024-03-10	An*****	This app has been working normally for about 2 years, opening and closing 2 shades. It stopped working today, it won’t connect and when I try to delete hub it says, “Login failed, please check your network connection”. I tried deleting and reinstalling app but it wouldn’t connect on iPhone. I tried app on iPad and it miraculously connected but was not able to use old account so had to start from scratch. Will see if it works and for how long

2023-10-04	My*****	The fabric blinds I’m controlling have an internal fabric “blind” that makes the window treatment opaque when nearly fully open. There needs to be a setting that says open completely then close for X seconds so that I don’t have to manually do this to allow the window treatment to be opaque. Right now, “fully open” means I have fabric slats and “fully closed” means that the fabric is rolled up and not visible. I really need a way to have it “nearly almost all the way open”. It’s like we need a feature that will allow us to open and/or close for a set amount of seconds.

2023-09-22	ar*****	I wanted this to work but it decided to open only 3 of the 4 and then 2 of the 4. And then sometimes all 4. Not sure what to do. No happy at all.

2023-05-19	Mi*****	Timer function rarely works correctly. When the timer runs only some of the blinds open as expected and it’s never the same ones. I can’t even use the app to open single windows because it bugs out and won’t do anything. Just use the remote, that’s what I do. I’d give this zero stars if it was even possible.
