Ratings and Reviews
Great product.
Great way to monitor the state of our house furnace filter.
Privacy and ruination of product concerns
Do not call the number that pops up if you have an issue — you will have to listen to a guy tell you how great they are during the « outbreak » — they can’t even call it a Pandemic — and that you can’t use their filter material for making face masks.
5 minutes later if you do speak to someone your call may be monitored or recorded.
When you do get to a guy he will have you call another number 1-469-391-9358. You are welcome: I just saved 5 minutes you would never get back again.
After speaking a total of 15 seconds with the CSR, I can confirm that It is not possible to use the app without either providing a location for a smart air filter or by agreeing to share location.
What is worse, when adding a filter, even though you are instructed to pair with the filter by Bluetooth, and pairing succeeds, if you refuse to share your location, or you do not key in a location, the app refuses to go any further and « locks » the sensor.
Thus if you start the app again the Bluetooth sensor is « locked » and cannot be added to your « account », even though you just paired with it.
This is a deliberate design choice Designed to harvest your location and « punish » anyone who doesn’t by bricking their sensor.
Huge red flag on privacy and deliberate ruination of product.
Other than that, it gets one star because it was easy to install and to delete.
Doesn’t work
The barcode capture function is useless and crashes every time you try to add a product. You need to update the application
