The product itself seems okay, no issues at all. The app is lacking some, you can set alerts though every time you go out of range it displays an alert, not the most practical depending on your needs. Would be nice to have the ability to turn that notification off if it don’t suit you.

Whoever designed the latest version of this app should find another career. What is the purpose of having a lower limit for amps? Then make the limit 40 amps?! What!? What if I’m on 20 or 30 amps? How has no one thought of this? This app could be so much more useful with so little effort. All they have to do is not deliberately make it terrible. You should be able to turn off the energy use (Kwh) notification by setting it to zero or something. At least let me set it to a number higher than 999 Kwh. I can’t imagine even 1% of users care about that feature but since the upper limit is so low, it makes it a huge pain to turn on notifications for anything since every other day energy use notification is going to bug you non-stop until you go into the app and reset. Those are easy fixes (just remove the limits) and will make the product twice as useful. If you don’t you’re just lazy.

It displays real-time data for volts and amps. This is extremely useful to me when I need to stagger large items like AC, microwave, and water heater. I agree that the range is not very far, about 50’ and it gives a disconnect error. This disconnect error can be useful though since lights in camper are on battery. We lost power once and got the disconnect error. The error popped up. Lights were still on in camper (on battery) but the error through app alerted us to investigate. A 20 amp breaker in electrical pedestal tripped. The 30 amp outlet that our camper was plugged into, was fed from the 20 amp breaker. Not a big deal, we were able to use the app to stagger larger loads to keep from tripping breaker again. Great surge protection and app!!!
