Keeps telling me there's an update available, but it won't install. App hasn't been updated in years. Online help is of no use.

Even though my network is not using IPs of range 192.168.10.x, the app keeps complaining and would not configure. Allows very short passwords, so would not connect to my existing wifi. Tried creating a guest network with short password but the app keeps complaining about ip range. Tried wrong password also and got same message, so this means the app does not bother attempting to connect before it gives up for some foolish reason. Dont waste your time. The plug is going back.

I tried multiple times to get it setup, about 2 hrs, but I gave up. Tried updating the software using wifi, but the App would crash. It is a good idea if you can get it setup.

The updated version for Marshmallow works as expected. I tested it on my Nexus 7. The plugs are not very smart though. There is no way to group the plugs. I would like to see an option to tag each plug with group tags so I could turn on or off a group of plugs.

What a pile of crap! I wish I had read the reviews for this before I bought the "smart plug". Absolute and utter junk. Does not work at all.
