Works fine. Setup took a little bit (installer code is 9999) but once it was working it seems solid.Note that the LED lights on the unit can be turned off in the app.Note that the response time of a command in the app is probably around 20-30 seconds but I have not run into an instance where it didn't implement my command.Note that the infrared remote does not update from commands sent through the wifi module. The remote will override the module and the module will override the remote - basically whatever the most recent command is will be what the unit will do.

I sincerely hope this review helps others. I almost gave up on these units and am very glad I didn't. First, customer support from Mitsubishi, while easy to contact, but was highly inaccurate in my experience, until I got the right person, 4 calls, 2 days, several hours, worth it in the end.Here was my problem and my solution.I had a dual band goggle mesh network. My network SSID was named David's Wireless and was a dedicated 2.4 band with 39 devices on it. During install, I kept receiving an SSID error code. I called mitsubishi. My call was answered rapidly, I was connected with a rep who was assertive in her explanation, mesh networks don't work with the unit, she said. Off I went to Best buy to buy a 2.4 only noon-mesh router, $350, easy install, back to unit, same error code, same wireless network name, David's wireless. UGH! Call Mitsubishi again. New rep tells me device has been used prior and needed to be re-set (device reset involves using a paperclip to hold down top bottom on left, a hole, below and to the side of the green light and blinking blue lights.) I was given a case # and asked to wait for level 2 assistance. It never came-hour waiting on phone then dial tone. UGH. Wait a day, too frustrated. Next day new call new rep. They instruct me to make a guest network. They tell me do not use an apostrophe in my network name. It works, but now many of my cameras and other devices are not liking the new router now that it is not broadcasting using a mesh. I think for a moment and decide to try the same solution with my old router. It works! I return $350 router to best buy. I make a new guest network on my google mesh wifi and use it only for the units and the Kumo Cloud. I don't use an apostrphe, it all works. When you are not connected to the wifi band the device is using, as in out of your home, it does take longer for the unit to respond. These are signals bouncing back and forth between servers and is not a very rapid transmission. I am very surprised that I was told mesh networks do not work. They do! I am surprised so many are saying it doesn't work with dual band. It does! It doesn't work with 5g. Dual bands have 2.4 so it may need to be enabled or disable 5g but it does work.The problem was an apostrophe for me in David's wireless.If i didn't have 40 devices connected I could have simply removed the apostrophe and connected device. It also becomes possible that for some routers guest networks will be limited and may not receive data. Solution will be to change setting in guest network or use non-guest network. This device works fine and is great. It is not as easy to install as you'd think but only because of network issues, not hardware or mechanical.{Two blinking blue lights equals no internet signal. Four rapid blue blinking lights means ready for install, and 3 bliking blue means operational and connected to wifi.}
