GreenBoxApp

Ziemlich gute App meiner Meinung nach, Tab für die Zeitplanung und das UI insgesamt könnten ein bisschen verbessert bzw kohärenter gestaltet werden. Etwas blöd finde ich auch, dass man für die Bluetooth-Verbindung zwingend GPS einschalten muss, aber wird wohl seine Gründe haben. Ansonsten super bisher :)

Time schedules are too simple and app requests wifi password and connection through the app to update the box software. First one is unreasonable given the light's capabilities and second one ranges from super annoying (as connection always fails) to super insecure (as I see no reason whatsoever to give the app the actual wifi password) to super stupid (as the phone is already connected to the network). Never seen any other app (e.g. headphones) require wifi connection internally for any reason

Unfortunately, the application does not remember the light settings after a power outage and everything has to be set up again. This is not very practical if you are not home and the power goes out.

Promised Wifi connection is still missing (promised sinced over a year now), box resets after power outage. And usability is getting worse: Once usfull overview of current plants is missing, replanting single slots is not possible anymore,

Plants seem to grow but app is unreliable! Since beginning I have to connect to the greenbox every time I open the app. Since some days now the lights dim by themselves and my schedulde 07:00-19:00 is reset to either 04:00-16:00 or 09:00- 21:00... also the app keeps disconnecting and I don't see the advertised wifi connection anywhere. I just ordered 2 more boxes but with the app and lights not working that might have been a costly mistake?

Fulfills the promises - but in a bad way. User experience could be improved soo much, you need for every function 2-3 clicks more than actually needed because of the layout. For example, if you change the light to a mode which is not recommended for plant grow (i do it every evening to go to bed for a relaxed atmosphere), you have to confirm two times that you want to do this step. Absolutely unnecessary. Please work on this, there is so much potential!

Box works well in as far as the plants grow perfectly and it looks great as well. My main issue is with the app. Everytime I open the app it asks me to connect to the box first, I dont know why this step isn't assumed if there is only one box in the list. Also the box is capable of wifi (as I just did a firmware update by wifi) but the app only uses bluetooth (that doesnt stay connected) and so you can not get notifications on water levels etc. The whole app needs to be rethought out in my opinion. On the concept of notifications - the water detection device seems to only detect a) Totally Full or b) totally empty and even after adding a litre of water to the box I still get "Water level low (20%) please refil" In summary, a great concept, slightly let down by a bad app experience
