Hmm yeah you’re right, doesn’t show a cloud dependency. However, I found it still very slow.
I have it standing up right and it can control the heat pump fine which is above it. It could also control the TV which was on the same height about 4 meters away (as long as nobody was in between). But I do experience that sometimes the heat pump doesn’t pick it up, e.g. in my morning automation to turn it on, I’m just setting it twice. It’s rare though, it works 97% of the time.
