Zimi 4+

So far, so good.

We just had a bunch of these installed in our place and so far it looks and works as expected. The two things that immediately seemed like “a miss” for me were the ability to create custom “lifestyles” (I can only lock unused power points and turn off all lights) and the ability to link a switch button to a lifestyle.

With two little kids our hands are always full and it would be awesome to be able to link one spare switch button to the “turn all lights off” lifestyle, for example. The only work around I found was setting up an action through GoogleHome, but that required me to add every single switch independently and it is also extremely slow to respond.

Hopefully something like this will be part of a new release.

Fan Controller Slide Bar

The app combination fan speed/on-off slide controller has two issues. The first, the incremental speed settings on the fan speed controller are so close together it is difficult to select individual speeds. Very small finger movements are required to select any one of the seven fan speed settings making a great concept very time consuming and frustrating as it takes multiple attempts to select the desired speed setting. Recommend employing speed buttons (0-7) to ensure the right speed is easily selected. The second problem also relates to the speed slider and could be resolved by employing the recommendation above is the on/off function of the fan speed slider bar. When adjusting the fan speed it regularly also turns the fan off and then on. This occurs inadvertently due to the proximity of the on/off portion of the slider to the speed button and due to the size of the speed controller button. Please look at fixing these issues. Please resolve this issue. Otherwise, I am plan on replacing my fan switch due to these issues with a standard rotary knob controller.

Thank you for the good idea! We agree the fan controller can be improved and are working on a better design as suggested. This is coming in V2 coming in March.

Not bad just reliable for me.

Application random logs me out & devices are touchy at best sometimes requiring a full reset. Not to mention when the app logs me out all my devices disappear. The account section doesn’t allow me to edit my personal details instead giving a “cannot retrieve user data” message, tried on multiple accounts, multiple devices same problems.

When it is working however devices are super responsive and application is super simplistic, the energy meter is an awesome touch in theory but with the random disconnects it just doesn’t work for me. Also can’t connect my Zimi Cloud Connect to my 2.4Ghz Wireless access point.
