Review on πŸ”‹ GE Bluetooth Battery-Powered Wire-Free Detection by Jeffrey Gallagher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useless guide. Terrible interface.

The setup process of this device sucks. The instructions do not explain how to get the device working with a lightbulb. The only information is not useful. The light works fine, the motion detector appears in my application, there is no way to make them work. Maybe I'll find the answer if I research the internet for another hour. Very disappointed with the false advertisement of "Simple Setup" or something similar. Why does this matter, I work in web development and have been a computer nerd since the 80's so my claim is either temporary insanity or GE doesn't care if you can't optimize something. I wanted to give 2 bad reviews because I have 2 of them and although I've figured it out a bit it still has issues. The first advice I would give is that you need to add a light before adding a motion detector, and you need to press the side button while making changes or adding things. Also, the UI doesn't make it clear what can be customized, there's no different color, etc. Bad, bad, bad UI.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Communication with seller
