CBI Home

The app is a good idea. To control your devices in one place, set automation tasks and have everything work without intervention. However, the app is very buggy. The most recent bug: I turn my geyser off on the app, when I refresh the app, it shows as on again. And also, when you report these bugs on the app, you get no response at all

Have been using multiple CBI Astute Switches over the last few years. It seems most of the issues some of the people have complained about have been resolved: 1. Multiple devices can be controlled by adding them to a group. 2. Adding the device to Alexa or Google Assistant can be done by clicking the rename icon on the device and selecting the integration. To the delevoper, the following improvements would be amazing for my use: 1. Setting daily power use limits would really help in saving electricity. I've tried creating a scene to turn off a device using the "Increase electricity > xkW" scenario, but it doesn't seem to work. 2. If there were a "Power Status" feature in a scene for a device to detect load shedding for example, I could use it to turn other devices off as well to preserve battery life.

Advertised to link to google home or google assistant. But can’t. Don’t get the options as per instructions.

The app is no good when it keeps on disabling my timers.

No matter what I have tried to do to link it to google home I can’t. The instructions say it will load google home but doesn’t? I have also tried adding it via the google home app by searching for astute as per instructions and it’s not listed. It’s a CBI astute switch. Any help would be appreciated. Other than that great app, would just be nice to have them all in one app. Thanks.

Please add widget functionality?

Thanks Leonard for your help! I’ll update you if my water is hot tomorrow but it sounds promising!

The most useful combo of hardware and software that I have in operation. Super value, amazing functionality. One wish: in the “Electric” function, please extend the granularity to 1 hour periods. This will allow detecting points of energy wastage much more accurately, and so increase the value to the user.

CBI home app only has options to allow Location, Bluetooth, Local Network, Camera, Siri & Search and Mobile Data. No option to enable notifications, I don’t receive notifications on my iPhone. There’s no where to enable notifications, not even in the iPhone’s notifications settings, CBI Home app is not listed. Otherwise very useful.

It would be very useful if the app could be configured to issues alerts via SMS or Whatsspp. Am I missing something.
