Anybody familiar with this brand or have feedback on their devices?  I'm not thrilled about wi-fi devices like these in general, but a friend likes them. Not cheap.

I have used these for my holiday lights exclusively for 3 years now. They work well with Alexa and Home kit but not SmartThings which is why I am retiring them. Again, solid units but not for me as I am looking to reduce WiFi devices in favor for ZWave and ZigBee.

I use one of their outdoor wifi switches for a string of market lights around the backyard. It’s been pretty reliable for a couple years now.

Expensive and the software could be a lot better. Also if you make network changes there no way to update the device. Each device needs to be factory reset/re-updated.

They were at a connected homes event I attended. They have some nice products like the built in Alexa light switch, with Alexa built right in with speaker. But yes, some of their products, like their thermostat, are very basic and can be pricey.

Have one of their plugs. It works well. no complaints but I don't do a lot with it. It was connected to my fish tank lights for a couple of years. Now that I don't have the fish tank anymore I'm not sure what else I want to use it for.
