Decision:

I bought this on a whim because I enjoy tinkering with home automation, and overall, it's been a decent addition. A tip I'd share is to ensure your network is strong before installation to minimize those disconnection issues. For hacking, I found that pairing it with other smart devices in my cycling gear storage helped me automate lighting based on motion, which was a fun project. However, given the occasional glitches, I'm a bit disappointed it didn't live up to my high expectations. It works well enough for basic tasks, but I wouldn't rely on it for anything critical. :)

• Pros: I was very impressed with how easy it was to set up this module; it integrated seamlessly with my existing smart home setup through the app, and I loved being able to control multiple devices from my phone or just by speaking commands to my voice assistant. The flexibility to handle different numbers of connections made it adaptable for various projects around the house, and the compact size meant it didn't take up much space.
• Cons: As it seemed to me, I expected more in terms of reliability—occasionally, the connection would drop unexpectedly, which was frustrating when trying to automate tasks. The build quality felt a bit flimsy, and I had some issues with the app being slow to respond at times, making it less convenient than I had hoped.
