Title: Super easy to use! Works with all of my stuff!
Review: Bought the EzloPlus smart hub and the video doorbell. It was super easy to set up. The doorbell is super fast, with a great picture! I also integrated my Yale lock, Ezlo indoor camera, my Honeywell thermostat and some smart lighting. I set everything up with relative ease after a short learning curve and was even able to create some automations/scenes - it was super easy to do that btw.I set my camera up in the garage so I can know when my kids are coming and going. The motion sensor sends me an alert every time there's motion. I had to change the time period when this was sending notification to evenings and nights only because I was getting too many notifications, but that was easy enough.I also set up my outside lights to only go on from sundown to sun up and to dim to 40% so that I wasn't lighting up the whole neighborhood. Also simple to do. I think next I'll have the motion sensor on my video doorbell when triggered have my porch light go to full brightness when someone comes to the door, and then go back down when the motion has been absent for 30 seconds.Overall, I had a very good experience and found the product to be simple to use.

Title: Half Baked Alpha Device and Software
Review: This may as well be an alpha release. Supported devices end up not working properly. No âday nightâ function. Integrations require exhausting long step by step implication for security. Poor zWave driver performance. So many pop up errors. Firmware updates not vetted resulting in broken. So many reboots to correct operation. Support defaults to device issues but devices operate fine on Smarthings or Vera. Could continue but would be here all day.After so many hours of troubleshooting, found a thread where EZLOs founder Melih mentions, in far more words, home automation is a science fair. Sorry but no, no itâs not. The Ezlo platform is a science fair⦠itâs very clear the goals of the platform are too overreaching and teams are either under skilled or overstretched. Either way, there should be a focus on the device and logic level way before expanding out to integration. Sure if everything worked as advertised this platform would be amazing but no. device was a rip off.Simply this device was a ripoff and now sitting in ewaste.

Title: A learning curve that needs work but works well
Review: I bought this to replace my Homeseer controller. I just wanted simple and easy to use and this looked like that's what it does, and it kind of does.There's the controller, the Ezlo where you add the devices, and it was pretty easy to add my devices. After that you have to download an app and figure out how to make it useful. That app is called Vera and other than seeing your devices, it looks like its from a different company. I did figure it out and got my automations done but having 2 places to do things instead of one seems a bit odd. But it works.**Update**3 months later, it just stopped talking to my devices. Nothing changed, nothing moved, it just dropped the switches and dropped the automations/events I had. When I re added them, it sees one as a switch and one as a random device so I haven't gotten the events to work.I went years with no issues to zwave, I may have to go back.*argh*

Title: Easy to set up and connect to Leviton z-wave switches
Review: I ordered this to replace an outdated Vera SecurePlus controller. It was easy to set up and connect to my network using the app. There was a feature that would allow me to migrate my old settings but I simply reset them and added new because my old setup had glitches.

Title: Support was very responsive, but had trouble pairing with some ZigBee devices.
Review: I had trouble pairing with 3 different ZigBee 3.0 scene controllers.If you have a problem, give them a chance. I contacted support, they immediately responded and offered a phone call, which is unusual these days. Unfortunately I didn't have time.

Title: Very independendable, drops Alexa integration constantly
Review: Set up was easy and finding my devices though cumbersome was not difficult. After loading up all my devices, and I have many, I started using them with Alexa. The first thing I noticed is a considerable delay between Alexa and this device activating my home devices. The delay was so significant that sometimes Alexa would say the device was not responding and then a few seconds later, the device would respond. This behavior continues to today.I have excellent Internet connectivity through Xfinity fiber, and excellent Wi-Fi support throughout my home. I am also an advanced IT specialist.Iâve subsequently abandon this device and gone with a HomeSeer Home Troller Pi which is absolutely awesome and instantly responds and completely independent of internet (though it can be controlled remotely if you want) as well as supporting a multitude of products and automation capabilities.

Title: Ticks every box. Great piece of kit
Review: Ordered this a few weeks ago and it's been a pleasure to use. Set up was a breeze taking less than half an hour from opening the Amazon box to having it up and running. I LOVE the small size as others I've used in the past can be too big and bulky. The manual was straight forward and walked me through the process with ease, even though I'm not too tech minded. I use it with Google home and gives me full control of all my devices.10/10, would recommend to everyone
