Den Automation

Desmo

Clearly there was doubt as plenty of people bought in to it.

I don’t think anybody ‘in the know’ Bought into them.

I was going to buy this but after I asked them some questions and got vague replies on their Facebook page I gave up.

Bought some Shelly 1’s for the light switches instead. Work really well and are cheap.

They officially launched their new products in February this year. Still active on CH but there have been no social media posts since June.

Someone on their Facebook page replied to my comment earlier saying their £700 worth of switches and sockets no longer work via their system though. I assume they still work as regular devices but no long smart. Which was what my comment raised as a concern.

They seem pretty pointless to me if you can't dim the lights, may as well go for Lightwave or Hue

Autopilot

Wow, I dodged a bullet there. I have kitted my house out almost entirely with Lightwave and it’s pretty amazing to be honest. Almost went for a Den system, but something just didn’t seem right to me.

Is that Lightwave version 2?

Autopilot

If you mean the Smart series, rather than the older Connect series, then yes.

That’s good to hear. I was tempted by their earlier stuff but after reading all the horror stories I gave it a miss. I may revisit.

I did not like their older stuff and had some horror shows with it. They have come on a long way since.
