Lightwaver for LightwaveRF™ (Discontinued) for Android
Ugly, flawed. Error code appears demanding I register my phone with LWRF hub. There's nowhere to do that in the app. Error code persists on-screen even when app closed. Really irritating. Huge ugly icons look like program from Windows 95. Haven't got to use app yet cos of error above. Will review if I ever get it to work
Lightwaverf are idiots. Here is someone doing something positive and proactive to unlock the potential of lwrf hardware. Keep up the good work
Can't set the app up. Had the app on an old phone and how all it does it loads the old data and won't update. Such a shame as this used to work amazingly with Tasker.
For me it's better than the "official" one. Quick, easy to set up and yes it may look a bit dated in places but it does exactly what I want it to. Good job.
Didn't work, waste of money
Why does this app requires access to contacts? Beware!!!
it's quite a mess
Love this app for the auto voice pluggin
I purchased as only three options available switch dimmer and relay. How do I connect a 2 gang socket. The options are not there. Am I doing something wrong. Thanks for responding but all the items are missing that are in your screenshots. Have requested refund from Google as it does not allow my to request refund even though it's not been 2 hours
Can be difficult to pair if u have alot of lwrf priducts they seem to join together but not sure if problem with app or lwrf
Have always loved this app much better than the official app use the widgets on my s2 gear to open my garage door and gate in conjunction with wareable widgets only wish the voice command option would work on my s2 gear
Awful.
I had problems with Android N. This has now been fixed with an update. Excellent support in terms of fix and response time. Why can't all developers by this good?
This really brings my newly installed system up to-date with voice control. The adds on the free version are not a big issue and when paid for there are a thing of the past. Well worth the money!
Have been using this app now for around two years, to remote control bedroom sockets on timers. This is easier to set up on this app than the standard LightwaverRF app. It is a good app and I am very pleased with it.
Not keen on giving an app heavily geared to ads requiring access to my address book to operate at all. Uninstalling.
Like it's integration with Tasker.
Tried this app as an alternative, instilled for the first time today to find that 1. The app is not free as advertised and 2. The app will not run as the trial Expired March! I'll be happy to purchase and re-review if the 7 day trial is fixed and it's confirmed to be ad free.
App it self is not very intuitive and I've hardly used it but widgets feature is v.good and worth buying just for this
This app does not seem to do anything beyond what the official (free) app does - it just has more in the way of eye candy and gimmicks. In addition, most annoyingly it makes it difficult to log into one's account: one is supposed to tap on an icon labeled EDIT, on the top right - but, on phones, as opposed to phablets and tablets, that icon can be seen only when the phone is held in landscape position. This is very poor design. A GUI so poorly designed does not make me confident about other, more complex chores, that the app is supposed to tackle. I will definitely stay with the official app. Actually, the more I look into this app, the worse it is. After logging into my account, it just offers some generic settings, rather than my specific ones, as the official app can do. This app is eye candy and nothing else.
Some nice advantages over LightwaveRF app. Some improvements needed. More later
Short-sighted developers. Better too have limited functionality for trial version. At least it's made my decision which products to buy easier
Nice layout but can't operate anything outside my Wi-Fi range and the energy monitor doesn't work (I have tested the monitor independently and it is ok).
The energy monitor doesn't work any more.
Much better interface than the official app. Great support from the developer.
Can not get to work. I have a galaxy S4 and on start the app opens and just crashes. Is there a fix?
Adds so much functionality from the widgets alone. Good insight into how people want to use this kit. I may upgrade this rating after I've tried the tasker integration. If you have LWRF kit you should get this!!
Is it possible to turn on lights and devices using 'ok google' 'front room on' instead of having to press the mic on your apk. Will change to 5*and buy if you can help.
So much better than the 'official' app. With the tasker integration I can now fully control my home from my smart watch.
The integration with tasker is exactly what I've been searching for. Thank you. One point I would like to add though is that there could do with some instructions on how to set it up being added somewhere. I really struggled but got there in the end.
Lightwaverf should be embarrassed, this app is everything the official version should be even after the recent 'upgrades'. Android TV works brilliantly, really happy. Lwrf should give Kuffs a job and stop messing about.
The latest release (after lightwaverf changed loads) has meant having to effectively redo all my tasker plugin commands, but it's all working again now. Good job!
Not updating rooms since lightwaverf released new app
Great app
Just having to wait until I can get a pin from the official site so I can use this over the net
Has the functionality missing from the official app, like adding certain commands to the home screen. invaluable

I log in with my account, but it shows a different email and different wifi link, please Help!
Been using this since the beginning of time and still find it excellent.

I've a legacy control station (and I know all room and device numbers). Unfortunately it's just a gamble to get the assignments right. Worked on one phone; didn't work out on another phone. Currently daily use is still more inconvenient than the original cocu/kaku app.
