I set a schedule for some lights on my house, and it works fine for a few weeks, then just randomly stops working. every attempt to fix the problem results in a message "operation failed. try again later." I wind up having to uninstall and reinstall every single light. I am done with Roku lights. way too much hassle.
do not get these cameras. one of mine stopped working and then suspiciously my other one stopped working a couple days later. one is completely dead the other one won't connect after deleting it and trying to readd it. spent 2 hours troubleshooting with someoneone there. they claim to send replacements, but no one can find a tracking number. I am going elsewhere.
After having my camera for almost 2 years, a brand new update to the app was pushed out that now makes ALL events a paid service. No more picture notifications. With this update, the camera is nearly useless without a subscription. [EDIT: For some reason, I can't even view the live feed anymore on this app, throws error code -35 only. I can still watch the feed on my roku TV tho so???] Removing free features is a horrible practice. I wasn't even notified about the change.
I've also had this for about a year. The camera inside records just fine. but my doorbell one doesn't record at all. Sometimes I'll get a couple of recordings. I live in a high crime and high traffic area so I need it to record. I've uninstalled the app, restarted the device and ensured all the setting allow for even recordings. I just bought Wyze cameras and they are on their way. Someone in my neighborhood post videos daily of all the crime. So I'll only have this for 1 more week.
Constant connection issues - I have to at least three times a week go in and repair my Roku bulbs with this app. it doesn't matter it happens overnight, it happens in the middle of the day. there are times where I can't turn them off there are times where I can't turn them on. all I get is the connection error icon on each bulb. at this point I wish I had never gotten Roku bulbs in the first place and had gone with a different brand
So far, so good! When I first purchased the cameras and got them installed it was a little touch and go, but after the first month, things smoothed out, and they are fine. I have some issues with the solar panels, but found out I needed to keep them clean and after that, there were no issues. I would have given it 5 stars, however, I cannot seem to connect my out door camera base up to wifi. they are still wired. If I can get them to connect wireless, I could get more range/wifi juice to them.
DOES NOT WORK. I bought 2 smart outlets. Aside from *sometimes* being able to control them from my phone, no other features work. I got this app to control my pets' heating and lighting elements on a schedule. This product and app have given me nothing but headaches. It doesn't follow the schedules I set. It has connection issues. It turns lights on and off without reason. The animals I keep depend on very specific heat and light. This malfunction legitimately puts my animals in danger. 0 stars
Worked great when I purchased them. You would get notifications and the app saved still shots. Months later the app updated overnight and now the cameras, all models, are useless for security purposes. You are forced into a paid subscription to get screenshots, live feed is glitchy with lags and disconnects. What good is a security camera that doesn't notify you and doesn't keep a record when something happens? I bought cameras with specific features, which Roku then removed remotely. Useless.
I don't like that it doesn't offer continuous view recording and just offers limited snapshots of an event. The nest cam allows for continuous recording so even if an event takes place you can actually scroll back in time to see what might have led up to the event or after the event. You're not limited to only seeing just a snapshot that only lasts for a short period of time like with Roku. There are other issues as well but the limitation of only 500 characters doesn't allow me to write more
I have basically bought cameras that do not take pictures. These were great at one point in time the best. Now they might connect, maybe .At least I finally got one to connect. The features advertised on the box when I purchased them no longer all work and every help page is an advertisement for a subscription just page after page. After spending hours working on that one camera it's really hard to have any confidence the subscription will make any difference. Absolutely useless.
