Lights are nice, but there seems to be no way of setting to auto turn on to a scenes such as Halloween theme. When setting to turn on at certain time (night), only allows you to set a color. Would be nice to have the ability to run themes when auto on instead of having to go in individually and changed the theme every time, which then leads them to be out of sync. Just simple stuff like this make me wonder why is it even missing in the first place as the color changing themes are the main reason for purchasing.

The developers of this app do not adhere to any standard I have seen; some widgets that are information display look like active buttons and vice versa. (Some look like what they are - it's a mix.) So, from the beginning, the app is completely unintuitive and difficult to understand and work with. This might be resolved by a well-written instruction manual (any form - website, PDF - SOMETHING), but on multple occasions, the developers have rejected the idea, substituting the requested iformation with a single-purpose video instead. Also, the color scheme chosen for this unintuitive display, is comprised of pastel colors that blend rather than constrast (and once again, the developors rejected the idea of a better color scheme). So some information that should be clearly visible, is hidden except to those lucky individuals with above-normal vision. As far as function, the app seems to get the job done. But the difficulty to work with it makes me yearn for compatibility with some more standard app (llike Smart Life). There's Alexa compatibiity to some degree, but no indication from the developers, what capabilities exist and how to use them. Alexa indeed sees the devices, but interaction is a mystery. And as if that weren't enough, the app uses its ability to send notifications as a marketig tool. I've consequently turned off notifications for the app - I have no interest in becoming dependent on this poor softward!

I wish I was happier with these lights and the app, but with the "tap to run" automations the response of the lights is really inconsistent. Sometimes three turn on out of my four, other times just one. I'm debating what I want to do with my kitchen lights moving forward.
