- Very easy to set up and add sensors to hub, thanks to the QR codes printed on each device - Well priced for a hub with 4 door sensors - Native app notifications for iOS and Android worked well for me. - The margin of error for the door sensor to stay "closed" is pretty good in that it can accommodate some irregular door and trim - Integrates with Alexa, Google and IFTTT (did not try, as they aren't critical for my use case) - Includes ethernet cable, micro-usb cable and charger
Hit or Miss
- The history view in the app is clunky, it's a grid as opposed to a list. - SMS notifications require a subscription, although I found the app notifications to be satisfactory - Would be nice if it could connect to the local network via wifi instead of ethernet - Depending on the door you're installing on, the contours of the trim, etc can make installation difficult, especially if the surface is not flat. Having some additional double-sided tape, putty, etc. will come in handy in this situation. I had one tricky door frame trim where I had to use a hot glue gun to level off the sensor magnet.
The Not So Good Parts
- Changing the battery on a sensor is/will be a pain, as you need to unscrew the front panel of the sensor (would have preferred a latch). Depending on the location and orientation of the sensor, it can be a real pain, as you may have to hop on a chair/ladder and unscrew from the top.
