Decent but not perfect.
We had very expensive roller shades put in, all motorized. The motors we got were not compatible with Apple HomeKit at the time of install so we’ve had to use this app extensively. It’s fairly straightforward to use, but setup was a nightmare. Took multiple attempts before it connected with my hub unit. The big complaints we have are that 1) you don’t have great scheduling capabilities. I’d like to be able to schedule non-smart home compatible rollers. If the app can tell it to go up and down, why can’t it tell it to go up and down at set times? 2) it would be great if the screen that shows you all the roller shades together on one screen could allow you to open and close them with one tap. I want to be able to see all 6 of my motors in one screen and tap them to go up and down. As it is, you have to dive into a third layer to open and close each one and that extra layer is pointless.
Tahoma Review
We just added 15 Motorized shades in our home. I was able to easily set upper and lower limits, group them by room, and program them for automated functions. The app is very intuitive. We have the newer zigbee motors which connected easily to the Tahoma Switch. Great product!
Doesn’t work with google home app
I think it works with the assistant app. So it should be that hard. But it literally doesn’t even accurately tell you if the shade is open or closed on the google
Home app. Fix it. There literally is a huge WiFi block in my living room just to make this enabled remotely and I can’t even tell if it’s up or down? Or use it appropriately in the Google home app. Which literally gives me a status of all my devices. I’d give the app 4/5 stars otherwise. It’s nice to have ability to drive past my house (not on WiFi) and put the shade up if I think some wind is going to come by.
Difficult to get help online
Fixing minimum threshold for my led lamps is not working for me, and I cant get help in English as I have theFrench app. Also the timer on my lights do not work, unless I turn them on via the app. Installing new equipment such as heating has been impossible for me to figure out. Creating shortcuts and connecting apple home has not worked for me and the help section is not helping me. Also my sound system continuously changes to error messages. Basically it is not user friendly in my opinion.
Scheduling
I’ve only used the app for a couple of weeks, but really like the scheduling feature. It would be great if the scheduling capability allowed for the user to set still point in increments (ie 20%,30%… or 25%, 50%).
First timer
I love my shades, the app works great. I would like to see the status of each shade on the app. Up or down or how far it’s opened or closed
