Core complaints center on the loss or unreliability of grouping, inconsistent scheduling, ongoing connectivity problems, and bugs introduced by updates. Additionally, there’s a common frustration with the lack of HomeKit/Siri integration and widgets. Overall, lighting quality is praised when it works, but stability and missing integrations are the dominant recurring issues.
