X10 WiFi 4+

Much to my dismay, I had an interruption in my Internet service, therefore this would no longer work. It is a requirement, that you have access to the cloud. Do not worry, it appears to be free, but that one drawback. If you don’t have a Local controller, you can’t control anything. Up to this point, I would’ve rated with five stars. They need to figure out how to add in local control in case, the cloud is not available.

Since finding out everything I need to do on line can be done on an IPad, I no longer need or have a computer. Controlling lights with my phone is the one small luxury I lost. This app along with the X~10 module gave me that luxury back. While the “rooms” and “scenes” features are nice to have, I personally don’t use them. What I can tell you is, “ With X~10 you are only limited by your imagination as to what you can do with them.” Everything from controlling one light on your garage to a complete smart home including security and video.

Today is 14 Mar 2021 and my 6AM sprinklers did NOT come on! Why??? X-10’s programmers some how can’t figure out the algorithms or don’t know when these happenings occur. Not once has my device understood DST. I ALWAYS have to make a MANUAL changes. I rarely review apps. However, I’ve been using these devices since the 1980’s. The little pod works better than anything they’ve ever had before. However, no 5ghz Wi-Fi and these DST problems make me think that development of newer X-10 products has halted. I hope not. Please fix. I’m too vested in X-10. It works ~95–97% of the time. Hub WiFi problems are very tedious. Sometimes 3-4x’s to re-synch. Happens somehow on DST days. What a coincidence! Please fix!
