AiDot – Smart Home Life

Frustrating. They worked ok at first, but then all the automations stopped. Submitted feedback- No reply. After 2 weeks automations finally worked again if I deleted and remade them, but now the wake up/go to sleep fade doesn't really fade at all. It takes about 10 mins to reach full brightness even though it's supposed to take 60 mins. I feel like the people who run this app don't even use it. It shouldn't be this hard to set up a home ecosystem and just have it keep working.

The app works well, but I wish there was an easier way to access/select one of my custom colors. As it is, when I open the app, it requires 6 taps to access "My Colors" and select the one I want. This should be on the landing page after tapping "All Lights," instead of the "Presets" options, which I never use.

Haven't used my Sengled lights within a year and within that time, it has merged with Aidot. My smart bulbs have gone really downhill from there. There's no dedicated widget to control the lights so I have to open the application if I need immediate access to them. I get logged out randomly so I can't get immediate access to my lights. There's ads on the application sometimes while opening it. And the lights are a lot less responsive now take more time to respond from the app.

Update: Finally, someone took accountability for their errors with me. However, I have some mixed feelings about things still. I was asked to edit my reviews after they corrected them. I felt like I was almost paid off to change my opinion. Two packages lost, asked to buy products on Temu for a reimbursement with an Amazon gift card. Rubbed me the wrong way, doesn't appear legit compared to other reimbursement offers...

The app is functional but lacks something I think should be commonplace. I wanted to use these newer smart plugs to replace my old wemo plugs but there's one thing I can't reproduce. I can't set it up to automatically turn off the plug after an hour of being on. I used this for certain fans and lamps so that they're not left on all day long. I don't want to schedule hard times for on/off; I just want to have the device power off after a set amount of time - no matter when it powers on.

I dont know what's happening but the app won't let me sign in and keeps telling me different things and my wifi has been fine this entire time but I just can't sign in to be able to adjust my lights. It worked great the last year and a half and now I can't do anything. It's updated I tried removing app and adding it back on. My phones up to date. Help

Was working, but now, suddenly, it won't even allow me to sign in. I've had this account for years since before it became AiDot. I just signed in an hour ago. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled. Error after error, after error. So unhappy with your service. There's nothing wrong with my network. I've checked and called my service provider. It's you. You know what? Thank you, I'm going to use bulbs the old-fashioned way. It was such a waste of an hour of my life.

I spent hours troubleshooting my light cuz it would not connect to wifi just to find out it was the app I ended up installing an older version of the app to get it to work just so I could add 1 light, after several hours of BS, I should not have to download an older version just to connect to 1 light bulb, I'm a very tech-savvy person but I can imagine how frustrating this could be for someone who isn't, this is an issue for a while now the Devs need to fix it, it's highly unprofessional.

I don't know if it's something wrong with my mini cam or the app but it can not stay connected to the wifi yet everything else I own connects and stays connected....It was fine until the free subscription( which I never used) ran out. Instantly it has problems. No coincidence in my opinion. If you're okay buying a product that's only good for 30 days then this will be perfect! Everyone else AVOID these products!

I am using AiDot with Orein and Linkind lighting. Setup in the app and on WIFI is easy, which provides remote control of lights and the ability to change colors. If that works, AiDot is a very good application, and lighting can be customized and appears to be reliable. I have 39 years in building controls. I look for customizable automation, which this app DOESN'T have. Lights are not even seen as a device which greatly limits the apps' "automation" and cross functionality with other brands.

6/4/25 edit-- the first few months, this was running so well. Now I randomly have connection issues where they just stop connecting to the app and go offline. Its frustrating and has happened enough to be a huge inconvenience. × × × × × Easy to pair, no issues turning light on and off or adjusting colors

Works great so far. No complaints. The bulbs are very easy to set up. There are more built-in preset scenes with these bulbs/app than Govee. Making schedules & groups are easy. These seem to be great LEDs with an easy to use app that has tons of options. The app seems stable. You do have to end a scheduled scene 1 minute before a new one starts. Ex: if you set "focus" to end at 5:00 & "relax" to start at 5:00, it will stay on "focus". You have to set "relax" for 5:01 or "focus" to end at 4:59.

Was good until automations quit working on 2/13/2026. No change at all on my end. Nothing resolves the issue. EDIT: They fixed something on their end. Very frustrating but good app when it works which has been 99% of the time.

I really can't stand this whole set up. I am going to switch back to using Blink. The UI is absolutely atrocious. It's a struggle just to find basic things, i.e. I'm trying to reconnect to a new wifi but it is impossible to find.

Lights come on as scheduled. Then randomly just shut off in the middle of the night. There is no schedule for them to shut off. Bought all these lights and they dont even work correctly. Update: Fixed problem

My only criticism would be that the two color wheels to set a color for your light bulb are equally imprecise. It would be nice if I could just set an exact hexadecimal code for color precision.

you need to add two security features. one of them being disabling sharing and if you do share it it should be two Factor authentication that you shared it because people are hacking into my account and sharing it with themselves. make it so alerts cannot be deleted activity history that is

Lights keep coming on at 630am even though we do not have the automation for wake up turned on. Cannot turn off because automation says it is already off. Very frustrating.

Easy to use. Install and setup was done in a few minutes. Bluetooth controls are simple.

does what it should and has kept working over a year, enjoy ease of adjusting within the app, as well as voice commands with Alexa 🐱 switched wifi and was easy to reset overall pleased 🦩
