Smart Life - Smart Living Positive Reviews

App has worked very well!! Couldn’t ask for a better automation app for free!!This app dev has squeezed the most use with minimal bugs or issues out of the open source software it’s based on. My use over a years + time span has been nothing but fantastic. I also have extensive use with two other apps based on the same open source software and while they have had minimal bugs or other issues as with this app they didn’t quite have the same expanse of use. This goes for shear range of devices that could be controlled, not to mention how many different ways/signal types could be used to control devices, but also the main use I enjoy is the breadth of color I have to select from with the color changing light. Lighting is my largest use for this app next to power consumption monitoring devices and I have only one complaint about the lighting. I would love a feature that allows my color change lights to change colors in conjunction with the music I have playing with just a couple basic hue settings to keep the color in one area of the color wheel, so in one song I’m not getting every single color available at a strobe lights pace because that just is not pleasant. In synopsis, this is a fantastic automation app that takes advantage WiFi, Bluetooth and WiFi signal variations all while charging not a cent..Version: 3.11.0

Works great!Smooth system with great extended coverage as it seems all devices link! If something ever fails, just redo it like it was new without changing the name, and it will reconnect in an instant. I use all the features including several groups, timers, all of the settings offered on the light bulbs, and others. If power goes out temporarily, in a few minutes your devices will automatically be back on line w/o any input from you! I like the energy monitoring switches in various brands that work with this system and they all work very well! Of the colored light bulbs, I have found that the ones that are a dollar or two more than the cheapest will mimic the really expensive colored bulbs! Remember to get WiFi extenders or similar when you add lots of devices so that everything runs smoothly! When I add an extender, every device seems to be much quicker and no bobbles! Last note I will mention is that in 99% of any failures is your WiFi not this program! However, remember to reinstall any device that is not working per instructions that came with the device! BTW, I have around 35 bulbs and switches on this system and about 60 other devices and they all work fine because of an upgraded router designed to handle many devices as well as three extenders!.Version: 2.9.7

Usually a Great App - Half the Features Haven’t Been WorkingAPRIL 2023 - FIXED!! Thank you for finally fixing the options issues! Hopefully it stays this way. The app seems to be functioning perfectly fine now. (I’ll update if / when there is a fix!) Normally the app is great and everything works perfectly fine. It’s been that way for just over a year since I got the sunrise alarm clock (“Smart White Noise Machine”). For the last couple weeks, though, half of the customizable options haven’t been working. When I tap on the color options, half of them are fine, the other half go to an “error” screen and say to “reload” but reloading doesn’t do anything. I did all the normal trouble-shooting: Force-closed the app and reopened. Turned off my phone and turned it back on. Deleted the app completed and re-downloaded. Unplugged the alarm clock and plugged it back in (it’s the app that’s not working, not the clock, but why not, just to hit all the bases). Nothing has worked. There have been multiple updates on the App Store that I’ve installed but still nothing fixes it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, I will update my review when it is..Version: 5.0.2

What happenedFirst the app work as expected although pairing some of my plugs was difficult and time wasting. After a couple months the APP got stuck and would not open. After a few days I removed it. In the APP store I found an app that looking identical but it’s name was ‘Smart Life+. I installed it. It work just like this app and the only noticeable different was the main splash screen was a larger tree of devices, etc. Today, not this new version (so I thought) is not in the APP and maybe that explains why the APP would not open. So, now for the third time I have to pair all my plugs and recreate scenes or activities, whatever. Alexa seems to be working as usual. So. I don’t understand how the Smart Life+ app was working in the background. Now I’ve installed this Smart Life app and there must not be a data storage for these apps. I need to pair everything again, recreate scenes and get Alexa to detect my plugs. This is such a mess with duplicate in my Alexa APP for every time I’ve had to start all over again. Crawling on the floor, moving my bed to get to plugs behind it. So tired and even more confused. Developer, Help! What happened to this APP? Where did the + version go?.Version: 3.12.7

Smart Water/Hose TimerI use this app to control multiple smart water / hose timers so that we can water our plants and lawn at our little weekend place. The app is “serviceable” but glitchy and suboptimal. Most notably, the on/off timer is often unreliable, meaning that (1) I don’t feel comfortable with *scheduling* waterings, and (2) I must this manually turn the water off and on with the app and use a timer on my phone. The timer is also glitchy in that it doesn’t correctly display the amount of time that is left. For instance, it will show that 10 minutes is left constantly until the timer “should” run out. Again, I work around that by using the timer on my phone. Also, the app sometimes has trouble connecting with the devices, such that I need to press the on/off button multiple times. This is another reason why I don’t feel comfortable scheduling waterings. Another glitch is that the app has a feature that theoretically desists waterings under certain weather conditions. The problem is that the app tracks weather conditions where your *phone* is rather than where the devices are. So, if you’re on vacation or won’t be at the house where the devices are installed, that feature could be unreliable or worthless..Version: 5.3.0

Works Flawlessly… for meI’ve read the recent reviews and I’m puzzled at all of the low review ratings. My home has ethernet connections at the corner rooms of the house. This allowed me to connect a wifi mesh system and allows me to control so many devices around the house for exterior and interior lights, garage, sprinkler system and all of the pool equipment. It’s all automated with rules around weather and time scheduled. I will admit, the only way I’ve been able to work around the Tap To Run in the Apple Watch app, is to set add those to the Siri Short cuts. If my phone is too far for the Smart Home app, I just use “Hey Siri” and run that shortcut. I did try to install the same devices at a friend’s home but we quickly realized that his wifi signal was not steady where the devices were located. This caused a lot of the issues I see in the reviews about connectivity. I would recommend that you first set up ethernet cabling at the edges of your home, buy a mesh wifi system and cross your fingers and give it another shot. In short I’m very happy and so is the rest of the family..Version: 5.8.2

HIGHLY Recommend! I love this alarm clock!I have never been a morning person. I have struggled my whole life with waking up on time and getting out of bed. This alarm clock has literally changed my life. I set my alarm to start turning the light on 25 minutes before the sound will go off to wake me up. I have woken up to just the light so many time before the sound even goes off, and it is such a better, more relaxing way to wake up in the morning! I have also noticed that I wake up feeling less groggy and have more energy throughout the day because I’m not oversleeping. I would HIGHLY recommend this alarm clock to anyone who struggles with waking up in the mornings, or anyone who just wants to wake up and feel more refreshed, less groggy during the day, and just overall relaxed in the mornings! The app is pretty easy to use, my only suggestion would be to add more wake up sound options. I usually listen to “River Sounds” or “Ocean Sounds”, but like a light “Rain Sound” would be cool or something :). My overall satisfaction though is still a 10/10!!.Version: 3.10.1

A long time user’s reviewI wasn’t going to write a review on this, since I’ve been using it for so long, but after a recent update and request to beta test, I thought I would read some reviews to see what’s up. This app has worked flawlessly for me for so many years (4+yrs) on close to 15 devices, doing everything you would expect. It was relatively easy to figure out and super easy to use. I read some of these comments, and I’m baffled at how people function in life. It’s odd to see the flaky ones where people use their rating as a weapon and people actually said they gave 5 stars but made it 1 when something didn’t go their way, then when fixed they were like yayy you get your 5 stars again..... What??? I see these same types of keyboard hero’s on the other review sites..so ridiculous! Some reviews are mad at this app because they cant figure out the cheap device they bought, not realizing that this app is just the platform on which other companies hardware works. It’s like watching people buy cheap appliances and being mad at the electric company because their gadget doesn’t work! Bottom line...this is decent app that provides the platform to control multiple devices, they do a pretty decent job of trying to accommodate every smart hardware, they seem to get blamed for the manufacturers and programmers of the hardware but I guess that goes with the territory!.Version: 3.32.7

Not dependable.I have two of their interior motion-sensing security camera’s with night vision installed in my small home for a little over a year now. First the good stuff, the camera’s give very clear video. Even the night vision video is clear. The camera’s are great. The big problem is lack of dependability. In the beginning I received sounds on my iPhone 7 Plus and my iPad Pro if motion was picked up by either of the security camera’s. Then I could open the camera app on my iPhone and watch whoever had entered my home. (The housekeeper usually). #1. Now the camera’s no longer send motion-sensor alerts. #2. Neither of the camera’s any longer transmit dependably. Even when I am inside my small home and open the app on my iPhone or iPad to view my camera’s. One time the camera’s will connect, but another time they won’t connect. Or, one of the camera’s will connect. But the second camera will not connect. This has become a big problem lately. Broadcast strength of my 2.4 WiFi is 98%. Neither camera is further than 20’ away from it. This is not right..Version: 3.17.8

Small glitch (or unannounced feature?) in ScheduleI’m using the to control a Durablow micro-voltage fireplace thermostat. Works very well for manual control. Also has a day-by-day/hour-by-hour schedule for a week. Problem is, if the device is following the schedule and you enter a manual temp change, the manually set temp, or any manual change you make to it then becomes a “Hold Temp” that overrides the schedule from then on. The only way I can find to get the device to resume the preset schedule is to go into the schedule, select the then current hour, delete that hour’s setting and reset the desired schedule temp. The is no “End Hold” function that I can find. Not even resetting manually to the schedule temp of the current hour will put the device back in the schedule. You must delete and reset the current hour’s temp to get the device on schedule. And if you then manually set a temp, it becomes a new “Hold Temp”. There are good and bad points to this, but nowhere do I find it explained in the instructions..Version: 5.6.0

Not a Smart Life with this app any moreRevised review on October 31, 2023 Volcano Technology Limited responded to my complaint and explained why the app is not working on my Apple Watch after a certain period of time. The explanation was “ For security reasons, the App will expire after 45 days of login.” I was not aware of this “ feature”, now knowing it I can log out then back in the app and problem solved. Otherwise the app works well for me controlling lights automatically, with custom programs or with Siri. I revised my rating, and based on my experience I do recommend the smart Smart Life app. Old review Lately this app is not working on my watch. It constantly wants me to log in to the app on the phone. But to do this, I have to delete the app from the phone, reinstall and log in. Please fix, it’s getting very annoying. Thanks. It’s been several months that I wrote the above review hoping that the app developers would check the problem out but nothing. I get on my watch every time “Add a device in your I phone Smart life app” and “Add a Tap-to -Run scene in your iPhone Smart Life app”. Not sure why this can not be fixed, worked fine before for years. Either an Apple update or a Smart Life update nixed it. Tired of logging out and then logging back in to have the app work for a few days..Version: 5.7.0

Some work better than othersI purchased two light/fan fixture controls because the outside plug was so easy to install in the app and works instantly when I use Alexa. Not the case with the fan fixture control. It would not connect to my WiFi and all research online suggested I split my WiFi between 5 and 2.4. I find it ridiculous I would need to change my WiFi when other products connect with no issue. However, I used my iPad for the set up and it worked. I don’t believe my iPad is on 2.4 but I’m happy it works. The unit is great as I can control the fan speed ( up to three) and the on/ off of the attached lights. All this by the app or by my voice ( the whole reason I bought this device). I would prefer if there is a dimming capability in the app and by voice command. Maybe an update can make this occur. I will continue to buy Smart Life type products. They work great and without a hub. 5 stars for product but 3 stars for set up. If a dimmer capability is added I can see making this a 5 star product..Version: 3.19.3

Smart Life Garage Door OpenerApp and Device work great! Tried from great distances (verified by Nest cam) and works every time! My “minor” issue is with the app! I have an iPhone 13Pro, to close the app window I usually swipe up… the app’s “open/close” button sits center, bottom on the page! When I swipe up to close the page I will inadvertently hit that button with my finger causing the garage to go active; and I’ve been surprised to find the door open and not closed. Finally figured out what I was doing. That button really should be located elsewhere. Probably not possible but would like the ability to set the time the app is actively illustrating the garage door moving up or down. My garage door takes 12 seconds up and 12 seconds down. The app up indicator stays active for about 20 seconds. Not a big issue but would prefer a more realistic time. On the plus side the app is clean and simple and does exactly what I expected! Great price!.Version: 4.0.0

Works great, easy to use with great functionI have no less than 4 apps and a hub to run various WiFi devices. This works great, after you get the trick of turning the lights off and on several times, setup is a breeze and unplugging and power outages are not problematic as with other devices in loosing connectivity when power comes back on. The light controls are amazing and amazing with Alexa also. The trick is that the color on the app does not always match the light. If you think of it as a suggestion of color rather than the actual color. It is not the app, rather the color bulbs as I have three bulbs, all configured the same, will look different. It’s easy to match color and brightness to be the same. The schedule is easy to create and is very convenient. I will say I spent the least amount of using this product in setup, and I have had the best results..Version: 2.9.15

Easy to use - easy set upI have the exterior motion surveillance cameras. The set up and use was easy. Now that I have had them for about five months I would like to see two changes in the software: 1. I would like to be able to see all three cameras simultaneously one one main screen, and not just one at a time. 2. When a motion alert occurs a still photo is taken and a recording of the movement is made. In order to see the video of the movement you must scroll through all of the videos made during the day and find the time stamp that corresponds to the time on the still photo. It would be preferable that finding the recorded video would be easier. It would also be nice to set up viewing and use on a computer and not just phone and tablet. Those are the only reasons I gave it four stars and not five..Version: 3.13.1

Overall great but has some kinks to work outOverall I love using this app. Have the lighting in several rooms in my house fully controlled by the app and once everyrhing is connected its super easy and can even be controlled remotely which I have found some fun ways to take advantage of ;) The pairing process for light bulbs seems overly complicated. For example two of my roomates lost their patience and opted out of using the app alltogether. Its a little annoying but is easy enough if you actually just sit down and do it. I also have some candelabra bulbs that will only pair if Im right next to the wifi router which is annoying but also, easy enough. Apart from that I wish the feature to create preset lighting combinations was more robust. Currently you are only able to create presets with white light. You cant create fun or moody preset lighting combos with colored light, which is a bummer. I dont understand why it's like that..Version: 3.23.5

Fantastic RemoteI am very, very pleased with this app and the supported devices I have. After using the OMOTON outdoor dual plugs (Smart Wi-Fi plug IP44) for floods, I purchased the wall switches (OMOTON Smart Wall light switch). Slight hiccup on the wiring but fixed that and works perfectly. I can be across country or in my bedroom and control all the lights I have associated with these devices with this app. Love it and it automatically updates the firmware in the devices. So far cannot say enough good things about this app, super easy to use, rename devices, find (discover), etc. I have not been paid or compensated in any way, just a real life consumer that likes when things just work. I set up outdoor lights to come on at dusk and off at dawn, and worked just like it is supposed to work. I have not as yet set it up with Alexa to control, but may get around to it this weekend. Highly recommend..Version: 3.4.0

ImpressedReplaced high end devices with devices that work with Smart Life. I fist purchased 2 light socket devices for just a on at dusk, off at sunrise, but since purchasing these, and seeing the continuous improvements and adding features, I have slowly replaced all of my devices. I’m not sure about the review on here that says Wem0 is better, it’s not, not at all. My only reluctance was that (obviously) I’m on apple, and my other devices worked with HomeKit. After installing my latest devices, I noticed scenes now works with Siri! Awesome new feature. It took me a few tries to realize I had to say “yes” after voice prompts to Siri. It would be nice to skip that step, but in no way a deal breaker. Keep up the improvements, but for now, you already score higher with me than 2 big name brands. Smart Life, for life for me..Version: 3.7.0

Works great, lots of features, minor flawsI am new to smart devices so I'm not sure what to expect from a smart device control app. But this one seems to do everything I need it to do. It walks you through basic set up of each device, which is especially important to a newbie like me. As others have noted, your Wi-Fi network name must match whatever your device's network is. It will scan for devices on your Wi-Fi network and can even tell you how strong your wifi signal is. Not sure if it needs Bluetooth on during device detection, but I activated mine just to be on the safe side. It recognized & controls all of my Maxico outlets & allows me to group them by room, task, etc. You can share control with others too. You can also program your device to perform tasks when certain events occur e.g. time, sunrise/sunset, humidity, etc. Only minor issues I noted were... 1) it didn't recognize any of my outlets from the main device scanning page. I had to move to the smart outlets page and rescan for it to find each outlet. 2) English language message errors e.g. "Successed" rather than "Succeeded". Note: the App Store has a similar app called JINVOO. It is essentially an older version of Smart Life. I recommend that you do not use JINVOO as it may not recognize the latest devices like Alexa. Stick with this one, it's newer/better..Version: 2.9.17

Household fully remote.I had suffered a severe back injury. The injury left me unable to walk. Placed me pretty much into a wheel chair. I have installed all remote light and receptacles in my house remote ones. The lights and receptacles are controlled for my cell phone and from Alexa home system. Also the climate control for the house is also controlled from the cell phone and Alexa. One regret that I have had I wished I had done the sooner to my home updating it to remote control. One does not know how difficult it can be sitting in the wheelchair trying to turn on a light or open the garage door for a salt delivery to the water softener. The system for the house is very dependable and can be done a little at a time or a lot at a time to convert the house. Sincerely yours Garry are Blaskie..Version: 3.26.0

The device is great, the app ... hmmTo the developer, please consider ordering the schedule table by time. It is extremely painful to look and work at the schedule of the plug when the times are not in order . I have a plug that I want to start through out the day for 20 minutes every hour, that means I will have 24 entries turning on and 24!turning off. They should show chronological fashion, but instead they ar in some odd order (probably by creation time) Or, you should allow for editing the list if auto order is too hard, so one can move the entries around and preserve the order the user chose to arrange. You should also allow to copy an entry within the schedule (copy/paste) You should also allow to take a device whole schedule and allow for duplicate/clone to another device. These are just the features for the scheduler, that I think would benefit the end user as well as your apps rating, as well as boosting your sales. What makes a device great is the app that has the best and most utilitarian features. Anything that imposes time wasting easily can be overcome by a competitor (would you not agree?) I am rating the app, not the device. Thank you if you are listening..Version: 3.10.1

Great product!With the switch from incandescent to LED light bulbs our old dimmer was unable to turn the lights down without initiating a flickering that was so annoying we had to keep the lights on full bright or turn them all the way off. We tried different brands of light bulbs (more expensive ones), to no avail. When we noticed the old switch had started arching because the contacts on the dimmer were wearing out, we decided to upgrade. The installation instructions that came with the smart life switch were easy to understand and I was able to install and connect it to our WiFi without any trouble, myself. When we first turned it on the flicker returned but we soon discovered the ability to change dimmer modes with the smart life app which solved the problem completely. We were so happy with our smart life switch, I convinced my mother to order one which I installed for her. Funny side note: while I was at my mother’s house doing her demonstration and showing her how to navigate the app by showing her how on my phone, I slid the dimmer up and down and because I was connected to my mothers WiFi, I startled my wife who was at home and witnessed the unexplained brightening and dimming..Version: 3.22.0

Love These LightsSetup of the 4 lights that were purchased was relatively easy once my WiFi was set to operate at 2.5 GHz. In order to get my dual band modem to operate at 2.5 GHz, I had to call my service provider for them to configure my modem to operate at this lower frequency as well. For a 60+ couch potato like myself, I’m so happy that I don’t have to get up to turn the lights on and off, that I can automate when to turn them on and off and that I can control whatever light color I chose from the comfort of my couch. For those who have an iPhone and have used others Apps, the App that controls these lights is pretty standard and loaded with features. I installed these lights today and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they continue to function as well as they’ve functioned today. Two thumbs up!!.Version: 3.11.7

Leading SmartI love this app. I can’t wait for other “smart devices to adopt it. I can turn on and off devices remotely. It allows me to setup multiple schedules. If I want a countdown for a particular device, yep it’ll do it too. It’s a centralized location for many of my smart plugs and light switches. You want to see stats on power usage for your particular devices, that’s in there too. I’ve not played around with sharing of the devices with other family members as I’m the only one at the moment using the smart devices, but it’s there too. I’ve only mentioned a few of the features I personally use , but there are many more and more I’ve not discovered. To the developers: Please keep innovating and adding more devices. One of the best apps I’ve seen. Thank you!.Version: 3.7.5

Surprisingly competent app and hardwareI’ve owned and used 3 generic Wish smart plugs with this app for over 3-4 years now and I am impressed with how well they are still operating and how the app remains stable and frequently shows effort and support with updating it. I like the overall experience of the home life app and of course their controlling abilities on my cheapo (sub 20$ in 2018) Wish sourced 3pk of Smart Wifi Plugs to control lights and various items in my house. They work on the Wifi when I’m home and also work on cellular when I’m away from home- this app works perfectly and I appreciate the time spent to make sure all the various new devices I’ve owned since I began years ago have all worked with the app and it’s remained very stable and just as reliable as the big smart plug companies-.Version: 3.31.5

Massive potential security risksI see massive potential security risks for this app. Say someone at the company or someone they sell your data to finds out you use the app to open your house. Sharing of location would allow them to know where your house is and there could be a trigger designed in so the company can tell your app to open your home. How does the company assure your safety? Also I learned you don’t need to be on wifi to use the app. I can use it on cellular data only. That means someone who cracks phone could open your home from anywhere. It would be good to be able to make the app work on wifi only and not cellular. That way, the user could choose to be exclusively at home for the app to work. These are just a couple of the security risks I can think of. It would be way too much to write it all out..Version: 3.38.2

ConnectionMost of the problems I have with my camera are caused by my internet connection. When the camera seems sluggish, so is my connection. Increased distance from the router is not a huge problem. The cloud recordings are good but not perfect. SD cards work a little better. The picture quality itself is awesome. Location of the camera determines effectiveness of tracking and motion detection. Closer to the body being recorded is better. Too much distance and activation is choppy. If you try to test it too much you’ll get frustrated. Work on camera location and let that location ride a day or two, then try a different location. You will see differences in motion activation with different locations. I’ve found that higher locations work best..Version: 3.13.5

Had these RGB smart bulbs for 3 years now and they still work great!!I’ve had these lights for three years now and they work very well. Indoor and outdoor; two of them are my porch lights with no cover. The only reason I don’t give five stars is because of the app. It’s a bit clunky, hard to use and I often have to the hit the on/off switch more than once to get them to work. The ones on the porch are set to the timer and that function works great. They come on at Sunset and go off at sunrise. I really enjoy the voice control as well. Even the white mode is adjustable from warm to cool, and are as bright as the white LED bulb that it replaced. I haven’t tried it yet, but there is a feature that turns them on when you get home and off when you leave via GPS..Version: 4.6.1

Worth it and we will never do without AGAIN!Keeps all areas safe. Doesn’t catch our cats night prowls. Except when another feline dare to try for their “UNLIMITED SNACK DISH!?!” Which are fun and amusing to watch. So, IMO kind of a WIN! Let’s us see packages delivered. Keeps all eyes on our pool. Another benefit. Only keep those “eyes” on your mind if you decide to go skinny dipping or hanky panky! While our daughter was at college my phone rang every time I arrived home. At first I thought she had some kind of intuition. Only later to have her tell me that the notifications let her know. So, another reminder of “eyes watching”. Adding, the clarity of voice speech from and to keeps the neighborhood kids OUT during dinner and other family times..Version: 3.30.6

Works ok mostlyWow, I was just going to see if there were any other complaints about the app have issues on iPhones. I pull up one of my devices and it won’t let me edit it. It’s like the app doesn’t recognize finger touches at the top part of the screen. I’ve got no other real issues and don’t have this problem on my iPad. After reading all these recent negative reviews though I feel lucky . I’m crossing my fingers and hoping none of this stuff starts happening to me because I use the app to control a whole house full of smart switches, bulbs and even my low voltage landscape lighting. I do have some issues when initially adding a device but I just started using the backup method and get it added within a couple minutes..Version: 5.9.4

Love it but I see improvementsI use this app specifically for my Heat Storm independent heaters. I have them in each room for my basement as a primary heat source - it’s working really well. The WiFi enabled is an excellent option and to tie them all together to work as one unit is exactly what I wanted. It’s even better really based upon scheduling and custom cycles - more capability than expected....but, I’d like to know three key things when using the app 1) which programmed cycle it’s currently on, 2) how long it’s been on the cycle, and 3) what the temperature of each location is currently at without having to click into each individual the unit to see if I need to make adjustments..Version: 3.22.0

App has its share of issuesI like the idea of the app and enjoy some of its features. It is a mess to program and has a lot of bugs within itself. I wish the app was a little more user friendly as well. It shouldn’t be this difficult to set up a set of bulbs in a program. Programming in Java is easier than this program sometimes. If you have a smart home where you and your spouse set up different programs and use different bulbs good luck with this app. It’s frustrating because if I set up my spouse’s lighting, then I’m the main controller to the bulbs and she has to use my app to modify things. That is poor oversight on this apps developer. Some of your users might share spaces. I give this app 3 stars because after the frustrating set up, it works smoothly most of the time. It still has some bugs and glitches but it isn’t a bad app overall. One huge concern for me is location services it uses. I disabled it because I assume it’s an innocent feature on the surface, but unless it’s a weather app or map app I will always refuse an app to have my location. This app gets kudos that it doesn’t refuse to work if disabled so points for them in that. If you are concerned about privacy immediately turn that off after installing..Version: 3.18.1

When it works, it’s good, but lacks some important features.Individual devices almost always turn on and off if switched individually. Scenes regularly fail, with many of the devices not switching. It’s definitely not a connectivity issue, since those devices can be switched manually. Room for improvement: automation could use additional features. Lights on at sunset are useful, but the ability to add a random (+/-15 minutes) time shift to an automated action, and a fixed time shift (+/- any amount of time) to automation would be huge. Adding a random time shift to automation is a security feature, making it seem as if someone might actually be home to turn the lights on. The fixed time shift would allow for lights to come on a set amount of time before sunset, since by the time the sun sets, it’s already too dark inside..Version: 3.8.0

Great but cannot change tempI own two of the same air purifiers. Mostly I’m happy with it. They are silent and can pick up on air quality. However, I took one star off because cannot change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit in the app portion where you control the power and other settings like timer and schedule. It still shows as Celsius. I can change it on other parts in the main menu and profile section to Fahrenheit. I don’t like that I can’t change it everywhere since I always go to that page to easily access the machine to activate it on or add a timer. Not a big deal but really wish that could be changed. Other than that, I’m satisfied. I’ve had both for close to a year..Version: 3.31.5

SuggestionsI had a different bulb brand before buying this brand. The lights are so much more bright and vivid, but the app isnt as useful as the other brand. I want to be able to “favorite” certain colors to go back on. I want to be able to type in the color numbers if that makes sense. I also dont know if this is possible but the other app had an option to change with the sound. Also i could strobe light, have gradient changing lights, and solid changing lights, and i could pick what colors to choose from. I really like the quality of this bulb better but i miss the old app if that makes sense. Hope this helps!! All in all, if anything, please let me favorite colors so i dont have to meticulously try and find it again. Thanks !.Version: 3.13.0

Smart switchI bought a smart switch about 2 months ago, easy install and WiFi setup. I set it up for my outside garage lights and setup the timer function. Everything worked great until they made an update to the app. After the update the timer function stopped working I had to delete the app and perform a complete setup like new. This worked for 2 days then the timer stopped working again. WiFi works great and I can turn on the light through the app so communications are there. I set 2 emails on the feedback page and no response or acknowledgement of this issue. As someone else stated the temp is c and not f. Why as for location if it’s going to default and stay on c? I would easily give this product 5* if they can fix the bugs. Please don’t push an update until you’ve tested it several time..Version: 2.9.3

Updates continue to break functionalityBEWARE if you plan to update, it seems each release breaks key features entirely. The Devive Widget was one of my most used features and I loved the ability to swipe over and quickly toggle any home device from the widget screen. That was recently made much less reliable and now removed entirely in favor of a useless "voice assistant". I will update this if anything changes but the current state of this app is incredibly poor for what its supposed to do. Edit: restarting phone has brought back device widget mysteriously. The app has still been missing the functionality to long press and toggle devices in recent releases and the device widget does not show outlet status very reliably. Hopefully more bug fixes to come.Version: 3.35.6

Smart Life softwareThe app for the camera actually functions ok. Trying to review triggered events is painful. The cameras are great wireless is easy to setup. Battery life in a high traffic area is not fantastic but you can recharge the batteries in a few hours. I do have a solar charger but unless you have perfect direct sunlight you won’t get much of a charge. The viewing of events is like trying to view a you tube filmstrip and it’s a main. I have other inside cameras that use a much better file structure. They should fix this method of viewing recorded clips. Also when you look at the trigger messages it would be great if you could go directly to the actual stored event not a silly filmstrip. I have 4 cameras using this app and I like it. The software just needs to be a bit more mature..Version: 3.26.5

Good - Needs More Color ControlLike the app a lot. But needs more color controls as far as automation goes. You can set multiple brightness and temperature ontrols for white mode in automation but not color mode. Note sure why. Hoping they fix that. If you set automation to set color mode and tell it to set brightness or temperature, it ignores color mode and kicks into white mode no matter what. You should be able, in automation, to select color mode, then any color, it’s Saturation and Bright level. Right now you can not. Right now there is slots for Scene Mode... allows setting speeds and such but unless you want a bunch of blinking light modes it would be more useful to have slots for every major color to use as automation. Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Teal. So you could have an automation to set all lights in a group or single bulb to that color with a touch or voice command. Hey Siri Bedroom Red. Better yet Hey Siri Bedroom Red 50 and all lights in bedroom change to Red at 50% brightness. I can and do... that with White Mode but can’t with Color Mode. That is a big waste of this technology and hope they sort it. Otherwise def LOVE..Version: 3.26.0

Please allow reordering devices in listGreat app Needs ability to change device order. Keep up the good work.Version: 2.9.0

Please do not buy these smart plugsI have many home automation devices that all work properly, however these will not stay connected. Sometimes they work with the phone app but it is intermittent. Despite several attempts to contact their support department there seems to be no response. There appears to be no English support for these smart plugs..Version: 2.6.0

No more IFTTT integration :(Shame! Won’t buy Smart Life based products until IFTTT support is restored..Version: 3.17.8

‘Back’ buttonGreat device. Only issue is that the ‘back’ button in the top left of the screen doesn’t always catch on small screens like the Iphone. Works more consistently on the bigger screen if the IPad. Perhaps the button could be enlarged or moved to a different part of the screen?.Version: 3.14.0

Très bonTrès facile d’utilisation, pas de bogue..Version: 3.38.3

What happened to the widget?It was very useful. what happened to it?.Version: 3.35.3

IPad widgetI rebooted my ipad and working great now, thank you.Version: 5.10.0

Frequently stops workingThe widgets and shortcuts frequently stop working on iOS 15 and I have to reinstall the app.Version: 3.34.2

The Best Of The BestOh, where do I begin? I'll keep it brief. These heaters are fantastic. They efficiently warm up everything in no time. Setting up the app was surprisingly straightforward, and I haven't even needed to use the remote since my device paired seamlessly via Wi-Fi, enhancing the overall experience. I adore everything about it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for user-friendly heating solutions..Version: 5.8.1

Option To Remove Banners?Love the app, it works so much better than the others, but please for the love of god give us the option to hide/remove the useless “cozy banners” and “energy saver” style banners. They take up so much space on the screen and I don’t need any of the info they provide. Just add an option in setting to hide all banners. People on reddit were even asking for this option. Please add it, will make the app 10/10..Version: 5.9.4

App locks orientation in landscape modeNot smart enough to allow me to set orientation to vertical on my iPad. Minor annoyance , but very basic function..Version: 5.9.4

Great appGreat app design! Only one problem, when making a schedule, you can’t change the colour of the light bulb :(.Version: 5.9.4

Came with Vegepod grow lightGot an indoor self watering, soil based planter with integrated led grow light advertised as being Wi-Fi controlled. No APP name mentioned in the literature, but there was a QR code. Scanning that brings up a different QR code, and scanning that brings up this app. Surface of app is English, but turns Chinese once you go into parts of it. I could not find my device, or anything similar. It scans for devices but seems to be using Bluetooth rather than Wi-Fi. Finally got to a spot where it showed my SSID, and asked for a password. Put that in and it showed a light bulb and all text in Chinese. I hit the button on got a generic light control with some features that did not apply, but the on - off control and timer did work on the grow light. I hope the info is saved in the light itself. Testing now..Version: 5.8.2

Cat feeder controlHi, I use this app to program our car automatic feeder, we have so far had a great experience but to make it 5 stars, the app should have programming for each day of the week or week days and weekends. My cats usually eat later on weekends and earlier on week days, so having different settings would be well appreciated. Otherwise, all good..Version: 5.8.2

This app has got a huge improvementThis is probably one of the best smart device apps I’ve ever used. It allows me to connect several different smart lights and smart plugs from other brands on just one app instead of needing to download multiple. It’s got a nice dashboard but I’m hoping for them to release some customizability, but this is outstanding great job developers.Version: 5.7.3

Update seems to work well.It took a couple days to figure out how to combine multiple devices under a Tap To Run and Automation Scene but now it is simple and works flawlessly..Version: 5.7.3
