The lack of any real progress, or even information on any progress coming. With the exception of " big changes coming" , is why I've decided that the A+ touchscreen UI is not worth it. When it comes to HA integration, Securifi has not only missed the boat, but it appears that they did not even get tickets for the cruise.
With no integration with anything other than ( limited ) Hue, I am pretty much looking at a $200 clock. A device that was promoted as the one and best, only do everything interface. Turned out to be a fairly decent router with very limited HA ability. No user customization of anything, No IFTT, NO Logitech Harmony, No Amazon Echo, the list goes on of all the things that don't work with A+. Heck I can't even get an acknowledgement as to why loopback doesn't work on over 1/2 my devices,so I can't see what is on 1/2 cameras if I am in the house. I can't control Tivo or Honeywell HVAC with phone/tablet unless I shut off WiFi and connect remotely.
I have no issues with Beta testers being required to sign NDA. That is SOP. No company wants things ( good or bad) leaked out that might not end up being in the final release.
I am forced to think about that Win98 133Mhz HP Desktop I bought almost 20 years ago. Proclaimed as the biggest and best , fully expandable. "The last computer you will ever need to buy. "
The fact that this forum is DEAD, with the exception of a few holdouts ( myself included) tell me where A+ is headed. Look at how many of the posts are related to using A+ as a secondary AP or extender. It seems almost nobody is using A+ as their primary .
Over a year since limited pre-release and over 9 months since public release and we are still waiting for basic functionality. Why have USB ports for NAS if we don't have functional DLNA server ? How can we have an internet clock and weather, but not have the ability to set sunset/sunrise rules ? This time of year I am having to reset the timers on my lights at least once a week to keep up with the changes in sun.
I just ordered my Harmony Ultimate Home and ST V2. Almond and A+ will be relegated ( almond already is) as just accessories. Not happy with myself for having spent $300 on a couple of clocks, that don't even have alarms. At least they still have some use .unlike the Wink Hub and Wink Links that are sitting on a box in the basement.
