The app and or my Somfy Link is not very stable. It took me forever to pair my blinds.
Awful, awful app

An embarrassment of an app. I would be ashamed to release such an awful piece of software to the App Store. Slow, buggy, and almost nothing works properly. Even the first time setup needs to be run twice before it goes through! Also, good luck trying to update the network settings. I’ve been in software for 20 years, and I can’t figure out how to get this crap to work. I suspect that it doesn’t, and the developer never tested the ability to update the network on a myLink device. This app is total trash. The absolute worst I have ever used, without exaggeration. A total, total disappointment.
Update process is buggy and broken

Update gets to 50-70% and then fails. Unplug, plug, unplug, plug, repeat update, fail. Went through that cycle at least six times for each of the many myLinks on a big job site before finally completing each one. We’re going to recommend future customers only install Lutron shades.
Buggy, terrible software

Constantly needs to be reprogrammed. Feels like it’s out of the 1980’s. The only reason people choose Somfy is their only competitor is crestron, which is no better.

This may be the worst app we’ve ever tried to use. After spending a lot of money on blinds this is the app that controls them. Now our blinds are effectively useless. We’ll be forced to get a remote for each room now. We chose these blinds so we could operate them from our phones.
Absolutely useless

Got a new phone and had to start from scratch to reset the hub, so of course it constantly freezes and refuses to finish the set up process. When it did work previously the app was slow, frequently missing the command when you wanted to stop the shades at a certain point, and heaven help you if your technician didn’t help you label the shades well, because there was no process to go in and rename them. It’s a good thing the manual remote works or I would’ve returned the entire set up.
Worst home automation product I have ever seen

Don’t waste your money on this. We got it thrown in because 3 Day Blinds screwed up our order so badly and I am so happy we didn’t pay for it. To control a blind you open the app, wait about a minute for it to find your hub, navigate through a totally unintuitive menu to control your shades then press one of the control buttons in hopes that what you want to happen does and about 25% of the time it does; the rest of the time you just get a spinning wheel for a minute or so then nothing. I have Wink, Nest, Phillips Hue, Lutron hub all integrated with Alexa and they work great. MyLink is absolutely the worst home automation product I have ever seen. Don’t pay for it. Oh ya and the Alexa commands to activate it are hilariously arcane - you will not remember from one time to the next how to get anything to happen through Alexa. Terrible product.
Integration Painful
Stampy rules!
One of the more time consuming and tedious smart device integrations I have come across. Difficult to remove devices
