Ratings and Reviews
Not great
App is overly tied to the limitations of same WiFi network for realtime use. Doesn't matter the 2.4g and 5g are the same ip space, I’m forced to connect to the 2.4g in order to see the realtime. Changing WiFi networks works on every 10th try, app disconnects and reconnects on random. Hot garbage at best, but I’m excited to see my realtime use when it’s up long enough to see.
Tips to the dev, store relevant device name/ip info in the app for faster reconnect and get rid of the same WiFi network nonsense we learned how to fix in 2014.
Limited compatibility
Doesn’t work on combined 2.4/5 Ghz networks, ie. Xfinity gateway default networks. Also doesn’t work well on tablets (iPads). More hassles than it was worth, ended up uninstalling app.
App worked poorly before and now no longer connects at all
I was at least able to get some information for a couple months even though the information was not very clear before. Now the whole thing denies me access. No changes on my end but the system just sends me error messages. Not impressed.
