I give it 4 years until the app stops working...


How much are you going to pay me when mine still works
fine. Given its zigbee, it already works with all of Homekit,
siri, google and alexa, and wont be stopping any time soon.

The X10 system still works after more than a decade but
I havent used it for years now.


I can't find anywhere that says its ZigBee, any links?
Alexa and Google support seem to rely on the BG app being set up so I
would expect them to need the app.
