SmartHQ Service Customer Insights

1. Seems like a bunch of generation zeros and want to do zero on the appTech support is horrible, Android app won't even start, smarthq device won't talk with appliance most of the time, go to download software updates for appliance and itjust sits there doing nothing, all around good thought but needs tons of work.For the most part diagnosing, this device is very helpful.
