Show Home App

Some color schemes, I don't really agree with, but I really wish I could figure out the custom feature so I could do Mardi Gras colors. Works better when I turn Bluetooth on before opening the app. If the colors still don't change, I just hit the button in the top right twice.

So I found out the problem with the app: you have to turn the whole system off then back on to control it, BUT YOU HAVE 1 SEC TO MAKE CHANGES. After that, you have to turn the lights off and on again. This is in addition to none of the devices showing up in the status part of the app. Overall, I think a high-schooler could've made a better app (having made one myself in high school). Not easy, but definitely expected for the money your asking.

Inconsistent connection. I plugged in one light and was able to get it to work. Plugged in a second string in series. A few bugs at first but I was able to get them to sync. Plugged in a 3 string and now none will connect. The first two strings are twinkling blue, the third string is solid green, even though I have the program set to solid red. Too much trouble. Returning all 5 boxes today. I really liked the idea but these are garbage.

The app is clearly translated from Chinese and is terrible, there are even typos in the app (and on their website). UI is one of the worst I have experienced and the app will only sometimes turn on/off the lights. This product was shot out to the market with great features that don't work. Regret my purchase of the lights already. It would have been easier to just buy traditional Christmas lights and a timer.

I purchased the ShowHome LED Spotlights because I thought it'd be neat to control them no matter the season. The App which allows you to control your device is useless which unfortunately renders the device USELESS. The only thing that does work is the On/Off function. NOTHING ELSE. I can't change the color, timer, product mode, or motor. Please fix your App. You have a great product now make the app work with it so I can keep the product. I want to keep it 😂

This app sucks. The lights are cool if the app that controlled them worked right. There is no memory. The lights do not have a timer that can be set to come on every night. The app constantly crashes, I can't get into settings. For the cost of these lights the app should work much better and the lights should have a stronger bluetooth. Don't waste your money!

The app, really only controls one type of light at a time. If you have multiple sets and different types as I bought, your stuck with a certain pattern or color for everything. Otherwise you risk shutting one strand off, and everything goes south pretty quick. I had set myself up with high expectations for these lights and app. Needs some improvement.

In the UI I'd like to be able to choose more color combinations (blue red purple please!) or assign which spotlights are what color (I only have spotlights)...as well as choose different colors for different sets without locking/unlocking and trying a single strand at a time. The app itself doesn't always want to connect, I often have to close out and restart. I *am* very happy with the product so far though in general and wouldn't hesitate to recommend! hoping a dev will hear my plea :)

The app & company definitely need some work. I've read other reviews of people not being able to get different products do different things. I've been able to but not in the way it was or should be designed. I have 6 boxes of spot lights, 2 boxes of candy canes path lights, 1 box of Christmas tree path lights and 1 box of snowflake path lights. The app makes it appear as though you can inactivate a certain product and then change another but as soon as you activate that product again it picks up the product you just changed. Here is what I've done to get them to do different things. 1. Unplug the item(s) you don't want to change, change the item you want to change, exit out of the app. 2. Unplug the item you just changed. 3. Plug in the next item you want to change, launch the app again and change the next item and exit the app. 4. Repeat these steps until all items are doing what you want them to do. I have my spot lights flashing between Red, Green and White, my candy canes "rolling" white and my Christmas trees and snowflakes "rolling" the winter color setting. It shouldn't be this difficult but at least I was able to figure it out.

Probably the worst app I've ever used for controlling a device. If the lights don't connect when you start the app, you pretty much have to reset everything and try again. Usually takes me about 5 or 6 tries to get it to connect. Tried multiple devices with the same results. Functionality is the worst I've ever experienced in an app. Some things work some things dont. These lights are far too expensive to have a such a terrible app. Purchased multiple sets and will be returning them all.

Like other reviews it worked for a few days and have not been able to reconnect. it's stuck on the last setting i set it to no wonder it was 1/2 price. UPDATE: Downloaded and retried the updated app and it is working better now. It only connects with 1 of the 2 strings of lights so I will give the app the benefit of the doubt that the problem is the lights themselves and not the app.

I cannot connect to my spotlights as it constantly says my Bluetooth signal is weak... Update: after developer recommended to unplug 3 times and then reconnect, the app is now working at the moment. It doesn't indicate that the app is connected to my spotlights, however, when I change colors and speeds my actions are acknowledged by the spotlights. All in all, it is working at the moment (though it was frustrating and took some extra actions on my part).

they work great. i have the large spheres i got from home depot. the app could be improved. first, the mode selection toggle could have larger font. as it is now, i have to tap each option to see what it does. also would like to make individual spheres a different color. also would be nice to set my own pattern. id like to set the lights to a chase mode to guide folks to my door.

We are happy with the lights and this application. However, starting it (android version) takes long time, spinning in a such way that I think it is not connecting to the set. There is something wrong once the password is set: It does not stop spinning. I was able to have it working "tapping". Cleared the password, uninstall and reinstall. Move my app to my iPad, working fine there, so decided to uninstall it from my android device. Once all these glitches are fixed, I could try it again.

3rd year- question on changes. It appears that with the last update (not the Nov 30th) your pre- chosen themes default white to cool white which looks blue. Can you update the code to allow a choice of warm white or white as well? Christmas looks red green and blue now and didn't in years prior. I think this option would add a lot of value to your app. Look forward to your response!

The idea for the app is good, but it's a major pain to get lights to connect. Literally standing in front of one and app says it's not there. Controls are okay if/when bluetooth says they're connected. Once working, colors are vibrant and soothing. Three phones, same problem. App also offers no help ... you gotta guess settings.

The lights are really cool but the app is really bad. Says it cant connect or says need a different version of android. An older version. I tried several phones and all the same. The app needs to be revamped fast, I think I'll be returning these lights. It's a shame. Ita misleading because the box says works with smart home features yet the app is pretty dumb or not smart. Cant set up an account because it's not compatible.

I read some of the earlier reviews about compatibility, but seems to be working for me. The interface is somewhat simplistic: either you can pick a preset show, eg: Christmas, or you can pick a single color and pick its strobe/chase pattern. You can not make multi-color effects of your own devising, eg: red chased by yellow chased by blue.

Installed the 1/2/19 update for the first time on my Samsung S6. Can't do anything with the app other than turn the 3D laser on/off. Though It has a section on the main screen to control it, it doesn't show up as a detected device to do anything. Though if I hit the power on/off in the app, the 3D laser does turn on/off.

The app it's self is decent at best menus and function are subpar and at time confusing. The worst part is the Bluetooth connection, the device pairs "fine" with the phone but since it appears to not be a constant connection it relies on the app to connect and the app does not seem to always do it at least for Android, couldn't get any iOS device to even see the Bluetooth of the lights at all.

I'm a techy nerd who does lighting and AV for a living. I'm giving the app 4 stars for doing what it advertises. The bluetooth connectivity was effortless. For those of you experiencing issues with connectivity, try shutting the app down and restarting. The functionality of the app is pretty impressive, given what it accomplishes with such little effort. The orientation and sequencing of the light strings makes organizing multiple strands a breeze. The shows it offers are somewhat limited, but for most folks this product will make you the rockstar of the neighborhood for the next couple of holidays. I installed mine under the eave so the light washes down on the walls. This gives a very professional look at a fraction of the cost. The one feature I would ask for is a dimmer setting for year round architectural lighting. Good job...

Thinking there would be updates and fixes since last year, I tried again. They will not connect to my Android Samsung Note 8, with the message that it's not close enough. (Even though we were testing in the kitchen... iterally inches away.) We unplugged and restarted the process many time. It's a dud and I'm sorry I bought two sets.

i can truly see the potential for awesome light shows here. i recommend taking the year to tweak it and get it working properly before next Christmas. i was able to get at least a show option. However it only worked, at all, when i wasn't connected to bluetooth... weird right? Overall satisfied with this setting however would love some options in the future. Or i could just wait for somebody else to do it better. Very happy i got this on super after Christmas discount. Pity for full price.

Connects to my 3 projection units but it is a crapshoot on what the app controls do. I am supposed to have hundreds of features and can only SOMETIMES access a half dozen. Not happy at all with my purchase if I cant make the lights do what I want. I've sent emails but get zero responses. So much for having the coolest lights on the block!!

The app is so unpredictable. We had no problem the first year then our neighbors got lights and everything went whackadoodle. We were controlling their lights. The app is so user UNFRIENDLY. There are virtually no instructions. It's a hit and miss. We finally discovered to lock our lights and unlock our neighbors so the control of each of our lights is restored. However, we still have strands that don't respond to the app. All the devices do not load when you go into the app. Bad app!

I have 71 strands connected and I am absolutely and completely impressed with this product. I'm shocked to hear negative reviews with this product as it completely lives up to what it says it can do. I turn on and off all 71 strands with a push of a button as well as change up the light shows as I lay on the couch and watch football LOL absolutely amazing product highly recommend I have a Samsung Galaxy 9 note and have had absolutely zero issues with this product.

I don't understand why the app needs access to device location as well as photos, media, and files as I don't believe all is necessary for Bluetooth access to setup the app. Taking the lights back to HD for this reason. What a shame too because I was looking forward to having these lights on the house.

this app is total trash have major connectivity problems with s8, iphone x & samsung tabA. Like 10 min to connect regardless of the device. ( edited)- 4-24-20! The app has been updated but the connection issues are still there now using a Note 10+. Unfortunately still a one star. I have two of these lights and one will randomly turn on in the middle of the night and its always red. Also sometimes the remote won't work or its like the product/app froze and I have to start all over.

just bought this because i thought it would really cool to change the lights from my phone. however it is a bad set up since you can only rely on the app which does not work. i tried several times by installing and uninstalling the app and still cannot connect the icicles. The only thing the app allows me to do is to turn the lights on and off. This sucks. I am returning.

First, permissions are excessive. Deny them and when you try to open the app you get Chinese characters and OK/Cancel. Who wants to OK that? My wife accepted them on her phone but is having fits getting the app to do anything consistently. It worked at first, got worse and now it's useless. Part of the problem seems to be trying to set a password. We turn the lights off/on, unplug/replug them, restart Bluetooth, restart the app and still no luck. Website is useless. Planning to take the lights back at this point.
