BroadLink e-Control 4+

I have been using this for a few yrs. Have maybe seen only a few updates in the pass 3 yrs. I’m upset because I’ve had 8 WiFi plugs on this app. None of them work anymore. Tried to reset PW and it says failed connecting to network. Funny cause everything else I have works now prob. But this app. Now when I open app it just crashes. Turns off. So had to move to Smart-Life. Flawless to this day. Everything works. Sad they could not keep up with this app. I give it 2 stars because I got a few yrs out of it. If anyone is looking for a better app. Smart-Life or plenty more out there. Good luck.

Update to the 2.8.1 comments from earlier-2.8.2 seems to have fixed the problem 2.8.1 caused. Good on them for fixing it quickly. Hopefully there will be better quality control on updates in the future.

Updated from 2.8.0 to 2.8.1 on iphone. “Device does not exist” error appears. Older iphone with 2.8.0 works fine. Tried resetting, AP mode, adding device, etc to no avail. DO NOT INSTALL 2.8.1. Hopefully this ridiculous new bug will be fixed soon. Meanwhile all devices with the upgrade are essentially bricked as remotes now. Thanks for wasting my time Broadlink, shame on you for breaking what was working perfectly.

While this app/product tended to have its bugs, it was mostly working, until it wasn’t. The developers no longer update the app and have rendered the interface useless to interact with the plugs. The plugs themselves still work and do still use any old programming/timers previously set in them, but the app will only function on an older outdated/unsupported Apple device, if you still had one. Unfortunate for those of us who invested into multiple plugs, as many of us do.
