Any device that requires an app to function is an immediate deal breaker for me. Same for most things that require “the cloud” to work. Garage door openers, doorbell or other cameras, cooking appliances, door locks, cars, even a basic pedometer to name a few. All of these things will only work temporarily until the company decides it’s end of life for any reason.
Yes, that’s another reason. I’m reliant on the app for the device to function - if they stop supporting it, the company goes bankrupt, my wifi cuts out - I now have a very expensive piece of plastic.
