I refuse to buy products for my home that require an app. No, I am not signing your fucking privacy policy to use my lightbulbs.
I do not want your stupid app.
I will not use this siloed crap.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not want this mobile spam!
That's pretty good.
When I had my bathroom done, they put some speakers in the ceiling I could connect to with bluetooth, but in order to activate that I need to use a crappy app to swap them to speaker mode and turn them on.
When I got a new phone, guess which app no longer works on versions of Android that Noah himself didn't use to track his fucking animals?
Bonus: Every power cut causes it to enter "detuned radio mode", requiring me to find my old phone, charge it up enough to power on, connect to the speakers and switch them off.
Never buy anything from EISSound.
Really need to get around to figuring out the spec of the speakers so I can replace the controller...
Putting speakers in speaker mode speaks volumes of where we are as a people today.
See, this guy is not a programmer, you should have known to create a ubiquitous interface to use your speakers, some audio cable that you could connect to any device to implement the music playing capabilities, instead you jammed the implementation into a blackbox that now can't be easily changed.
