Bought an S3 Smart Hub, but the app could not add the device either by device's QR code or by the WiFi method on 2 Android devices. There is also no place to enter the simple code (a few letters and numbers) represented by the QR code. The instructions are hard to follow for a 25+ year software developer (who made a custom WiFi network for this device in 5 minutes). (Probably too late to return the hub...) Instructions QR Codes point you to Facebook and YouTube landing pages... That smarts!

I have installed a lot of BroadLink devices in my villa and I'm having issues with connectivity to the app every now and then. Their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced in Dubai. I don't recommend BroadLink devices at all. It's better to spend little bit extra and go for the best quality in the market.
