Update killed the app – GDO System™ Review

Update 4 7/6/2020: App is totally useless now. It does not control accessories or the garage door. Can I give zero stars? Update 3: latest update basically rendered the app useless. We can only open and close the garage with remote controls. App only turns accessories on and off. Update 2: I has been about three weeks since my last review update. Right after I wrote the last update, the issue was solved. I no longer needed to open or close the garage. Just today, the app was correctly monitoring of the door was open or closed. This is a huge improvement! I am now having difficulty connecting the camera add on. This is most likely on their server end. I am adding 1 Star and giving the app 2 stars now. Why not more? I want this to be part of my smart home, but there is no way to use Alexa, Siri, SmartThings, Hubitat, or IFTTT with it. This limits how ‘smart’ it really is. The other reason is the improvements have been great, but they only fixed basic features that should have worked out of the box. In addition these updates are random and you get no notice about changes. Update 1: A day or two after I wrote the review below, an update claiming to resolve this issue was released. The update did not solve the issue and it continues to be a pain to use. Latest update took away the lag time, but now I can only send one command (eg open) before the app stops working. In other words, I can use it to open the garage door and then I have to fully close and restart the app before I can get the close function to work. At least the last version I could open and close the door without restarting the app.
