My company (Wm Bradley & Co Ltd) has installed many Lightsys 2 and Lightsys+ alarm systems (we currently maintain over 300 systems using the Free Control app) and we haven't had any complaints about the app itself. We have found it to strike a perfect balance between being user-friendly and feature-rich. I can only assume the negative reviews on here relate to issues with poorly or incorrectly installed systems, not the Free Control app.

Its one of those subscriptions (where they increase price) but IF you can afford it and ignore all the guff you read on the Internet about China & Risco (Theorists normally don't have facts) THIS APP and the security systems sold installed and monitored by SMART & SECURE HOMES are absolutely EXCELLENT! WHEN OR IF you ever have one of those days when DISTRACTION occurs-that phone call telling you your child is ill etc-you can arm it all remotely as soon as your brain kicks in!

This is a great little app and once it's set up it's all good. ***Christy the PIN is your home keypad PIN

Now getting notifications when another household member switches the alarm on or off. Not great if this is done late at night/early in the morning as its disrupting sleep. I cannot mute notifications from free control as if I'm away from home overnight I want to know if my house alarm goes off, but I'm having to mute to not get disturbed by these irritating £ unnecessary notifications which have only recently started. Please remove this function which serves no purpose. Keep for alarm going off.

Terrible app. Almost always offline. Now they want to charge for it. UPDATE to developers response. It is offline more than other Wi-Fi device to the point I can't rely on it when not at home. I have to use the app for the system installed by the alarm co. They have looked into the problem and installed tp links but nothing changes. So I'm stuck with a poor system and app which I have to tolerate. Then I here you want to charge for it and the installer may increase their fees! Unbelievable.

I have an in-app message that this is now a subscription service? What is happening? I invested hundreds in the Risco product to secure my home remotely with remote web access to monitor status. This is key to my home security. A switch to "subscription" on the integral app, if true, is blackmail, holding the security of my home (and the heavy investment made) to ransom. Please explain this message.

Suddenly the panel is disconnected since Sept 5th. Local installer has no clue about how to fix it. Risco Spain pointed me to the local installer. Loop mode, ping pong mode. Annoying.
