It is useable but the user interface is clunky and the developers have a mindset that settings need to be hidden from the users which is kinda weird for the target group that are home automation tweakers. A lot of the UI/UX is designed from a software developers perspective, not from the eyes of a user. It would be nice to have different third party web interfaces to choose from.
