So many issues with this app I don't know where to start. My biggest issue is that I daily have to disconnect my main Deco as it seems to chronically disengage from my satellite Decos and the app no longer recognizes them. Appears normal after my reconnect, but then the next day, none of the satellites are recognized. Again. Very frustrating.

The hardware works fine, although 1 of my 3 deco's wouldn't auto configure... manually set up. APP is a different story - obviously not tested thoroughly before release. Isolate device/IoT feature is buggy. Try to disable, forces to go thru enable process multiple times before eventually disabling isolation. Randomly enables/disables at times. Obviously this wasn't debugged before release by the "progranmers". AI & kid videogamer generated code is GIGO. Hire real progranmers - old folks

The experience of using the app is generally pretty good, but basic management features aren't replicated in the Web UI. This is short-sighted and may massively reduce the lifespan of the hardware. It makes using the app, and even the supported product leave a sour taste in my mouth. I can't recommend the app, or the supported product.
