I am really tired of the issues I am having with the software on these so leaving this on the elements page but this problem applies to all nano leaf products except for the original (discontinued) light panels:
I have tried many knock off cheap brands with apps/software/setup that was maybe harder to understand (usually due to poor localization) but always reliably worked. I have had these elements and essentials products since release and it is just endlessly buggy to no extent here are issues I constantly face:
-takes ages sometimes to respond to commands (1-2 minutes)
-every few weeks de syncs completely on Alexa (elements need to be hard reset) most often affects essentials
-sometimes randomly changes scenes with 0 inputs
-and the latest which was last straw for me with update 9.2.0 they pair with Alexa and become immediately unresponsive.
I want to mention some positives:
-homekit is always flawless (but lets face it Alexa is much more prevent on the market then Siri for these integrations no clue how this isin't prioritized)
-hardware quality and finish is top notch I do have to admit
So why 1 star : it rly comes down to I have to tell anyone who would ever ask me to absolutely stay away from this product the time this has been in market and remains so buggy combined with the price makes this a total no go yo can buy something from govee that is near same quality for at least 20% less and the integrations actually work!!
