Review on πŸ”Œ Hughes Autoformers PWD30-EPO: Spike Power Watchdog with 30 Amp Shut Off - Enhanced Protection for Your RV by Rob Clark

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Let's hope for good hardware, unfortunately software is missing

Features are good. I hope the hardware lives up to Hughes' reputation. interface does not. Simple LEDs on the front would be very handy. Instead, there is an obscure 2-digit error code that you can find in the manual. They didn't even put a sticker with error codes on the device. Android support is absolute. An application that needs the location of the device, otherwise it will not work. Why do you need my location? The user interface is not intuitive. Scanning the QR code is easy enough, but then the device I just scanned can't find it. I have a Pixel 3 - it doesn't get much better than Android stock than this one. You really need a real software developer and maybe a native English speaker to write the manuals. Update: Apparently there are two nearly identical apps on the App Store. Make sure you use the right one! After installing another application, everything is fine. It still requires my location, but at least this app still works if that permission is denied.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Security
