I would not reccomend Iotas at all. The app states that my front door is unlocked when it's locked and locked when it's unlocked. You would think a security company would get this part right. What if I were a commercial business and had real assets to protect? The app stating the opposite state of the lock is absolutely laughable. Not only that, customer service is horrible. It takes 7 days for a tech to reach back out to you. Seven days for a security issue.. That's just not right. Use others

Doesn't work for all connected smart devices

Having little experience with smart homes I was amazed at how easy it was to get going. I even made my own scenes and routines, without any problem, linked to my Alexa and the best thing of all... I don't feel like a dummy around all these smart devices because the app made it so easy. Thank you, Iotas, for such cool gadgets and a great app to play with them 😋

Removal of the efficient, highly practical, and very cool floor plan view has crippled this app's usefulness and appeal. 95% of my use was in the floor plan view -- it made the app! Now without it, I pretty much hate using this app. It went from a great user experience to a poor one. The floor plan view was THE great thing about it. It had a wow factor and was a delight to use. But now the long list view we're left with is cumbersome and annoying to use. Please bring back the floor plan view!

In my previous apartment, I had my own smart devices setup with a Samsung Smart things and wanted to continue using that when I moved in. I figured I could just add those devices to IOTAS but they do not allow for outside devices to be added and you are at the mercy of your apartment company. Overall the system lacks a lot of features that a standard smart home environment should have. Very disappointed.

Overall, I enjoy having the IOTAS system in my building - it represents a niche market where purchasing/installing a full smart home kit (for a non-permanent home) isn't ideal. The app itself has been developed rather well, albeit with some flaws. However, the company's made some choices that seem to not be in user's best interests. Primarily, they've recently disabled their web client in favor of their mobile app (odd, considering they're both Angular-based), and prevent residents from adding their own devices. As a developer, I'd like to have a bit more control over my system, so these are both negative aspects in my opinion. Overall, I'm a fan of the system, but it could use some improvements. || Pros: + Excellent customer support + UI is convenient, matches exact layout of unit + Google Assistant integration works well || Cons: - AngularJS app is more sluggish than a native app - Lacks functionality to add custom devices - Hub has been known to crash on boot
