ORVIBO Home 4+

Does the job just fine

I use the app/plugs for the most basic needs: setting on/off timers for decorative lights, the Christmas tree, etc. I have several of the plugs around the house... they work great, were really easy to set up, and using with the app is really nice. I’ve never had to try anything more sophisticated but for my needs it does the job just fine. My only complaint is I wish it would at least offer an option to use 12-hour time instead of 24-hour time. I always have to count on my hands to remember what’s what; very annoying. Otherwise, I’m very happy with the app and the devices!

Thank you for your advice, we will evaluate it carefully and wish you a happy life.

Half Baked - senseless lack of customization

This switch (mixpad d1) with this app isn’t ready for any use other than a switch. It’s matter capable but can ONLY control its own devices. It cannot handle anything setup in your matter system. It cannot make a scene with your other matter devices. Worst is in the display options on the switch - you can turn on a single button at the bottom of the display - but it can’t be customized or changed to something else (like a scene or automation) - it’s only function can be to turn the switch on. Which is INSANE since there is a physical switch right below it. The app (which is what this review is likely attached to) doesn’t allow ANY customization of the switch. You can only do that on the switch itself. With some software updates this switch could be great as it sets up easily, has a great display and with matter could be a great controller.

Works Perfectly

It may seem somewhat expensive even when compared to other wireless 3-way switches, but I’ve used two other brands over the years and this is by far the best implementation. The long range 2.4 GHz WiFi frequency and lack of a requirement for batteries or available power wiring for the remote is terrific. But it also operates correctly every time, which others rarely did. The remote control software, while not vital, also works correctly.
Just order it and be done with your search.
