Zimi

We have a newly built home with more than a dozen wifi linked devices. Unfortunately Zimi controls our garage door. When asking google to open our garage door from our car the response half the time is “oops something went wrong” and we have to try again. When using the app it takes between 20 and 60 seconds to locate the door. In our previous home we had the B&W app which worked perfectly and instantly everyone. I cannot understand why tech that’s 5 years newer would be so second rate.

When it works, it works well. When it decides not to, it won’t work. The switches sometimes has Bluetooth signal issues and it refuses to take command from this app. STRONGLY ENCOURAGE developers to include a DARK mode which activates with iOS Dark Mode.

I have invested quite a lot in Zimi products over the last 3 years - and they are not cheap. A smart product is dependent on a smart app. The last update is seriously flawed: it often shows incorrect On/Off status of lights and power outlets, often does not respond ,or is so slow it is easier to flick the switch manually. The Zimi concept is fantastic, but the app is simply not good enough.

Won’t connect and when it does it takes forever. Useless.

Worse product ever used. Overpriced and never connects via Bluetooth, can’t find switches constantly. Not much hep when searching for troubleshooting.

Electricity consumption reading doesn’t work since last update. Zimi support is aware of it but doesn’t provide patches. This is quite disappointing for anyone who bought their devices for this feature.

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.

App is simple and easy to use. Easy to set up with Google Home and start voice commands. Love it! Favourite one is the garage door controller! Well done on the improvements. Keep ‘em coming!

Very simple to use and great format

I’ve had this app and a garage door opener for 2 years now. No issues opening the door via the app and it’s very convenient to use. Great for someone like me who often locks himself out of the house. I’ll definitely buy more Zimi products in the future!
