⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 5-Star Review of a 1-Star App (Installer Edition) After 8 years of installing and mastering this exact Bluetooth lighting system, I’m finally leaving my review for the app's reputation: The negative feedback is clueless installer error, not app failure. This is NOT a plug-and-play installation, and if your system is performing poorly, it’s because the proper steps were skipped. The required process for five-star performance: 1. BT, Not WiFi: It's a Bluetooth system, meaning you MUST be outside near the controller for programming. 2. Meticulous Setup: We spend the time at night creating groups and labeling every single fixture accurately on the app. Seeing the light is the only way to program it right? 3. Training is KEY: If the installer doesn't walk the homeowner through the app controls and features, the system is doomed to a bad review. When a professional delivers the install correctly, this app is phenomenal. You gain total creative control and can literally do anything with your lights. It's not the app that's clueless, it’s your installer! Hire the expert, get the magic you want!

This app is klunky and not entirely intuitive. As a previous review said, choosing the correct light to change is like playing roulette. The fixtures all constantly rotate. Also, they should have an RGB number you can enter so you can match the color exactly on different fixtures instead of just relying on the color wheel. Also you should be able to individually change each light in a group. I have a group of four called Rocks. But the group only allows me to change them all. Selecting each of these individually from the group would be so much easier than having to play device roulette. The lights are gorgeous but I hope some work is put into this app. I’d be happy to assist and QC it for them as I’ve done on other apps.

Beautiful lighting concept but app is primitive and full of bugs. Extremely difficult to name and program light fixtures due to the app’s contestant carousel-like effect of spinning through all available lights—if you have many lights, you can only name them through a roulette style tap, hoping you land on a fixture that hasn’t been named or grouped. Some lights that eventually become available then do not let you program them. The more lights you have, the worse the effect. Still cannot name or program all the lights on backyard project despite extensive experience on our front yard landscape. Troubleshooting offerings don’t seem to address this issue.
