This was basically why I moved away from them.
I ended up with a bunch of mildly compatible products that were a totally pain to manage. It was _amazing_ when it worked well. It mostly does, but on occasional when things went wrong it was a totally pain pain to fix.
My Tp-link Deco system works just as well for my use case. It occasionally decides to use a terrible channel, but that’s fixed with a quick restart or a few clicks in the app.
