All equipment arrived safely. Installation was great, but the technician didn't have enough time to completely install all items or go through operations. He was VERY helpful. It wasn't his fault.... See more

Untrustworthy

The customer service is not the problem. The problem is that the Eufy cameras do not integrate well with the Covesmart app. I will get a notification from a camera, but try to see what happened! Loading. . . No events today messages, then after multiple refreshes, suddenly oh there were events today, but the video goes dark. Exasperating. I removed one Eufy camera and use it on the Eufy app and it works fine. Cove is only good for door and window sensors

Super helpful

Mary Grace was super helpful in working with me to resolve the tech issues I was having once I received my system. Though we weren’t able to resolve the issue completely she was able to get the sensors that are defective set up to be replaced.

The rep was helpful

The rep was helpful. I needed a new remote as the one I had cracked and broke off the keychain. I have equipment credits to get a new one. $12.99 for shipping is a disappointment for a 5 year customer though. The rep was able to offer me a discount on shipping. I'd encourage Cove to do better though.

Jovie

Jovie, your representative really impressed me. She called me back after I spoke to another agent, that couldn't help me with my installation. I talked to her a few days earlier and she that I ask for her when I call back. I'm glad I did, she went above and beoion helping me. We completed the installation of the new upgrade unit. She stayed until the end and made sure I was complete. Awesome job. If you have more employees like this lady, you can't go wrong. Yes! I would hire her for my company. 😊 I was happy with the whole inter action with Mrs Jovie...... Have a safe and blessed day 💯
