I want to say, I bought the profilux with very high expectations... and I'd have to say I'm disappointed.
1) No useful error message system. Alarm just starts going off without telling me what's going on. At one point my profilux just started going nuts and I spent hours trying to figure out what's going on. I couldn't fix it until I reached out to help desk and they gave me some secret key to reset my serial number...
2) Figuring out how to connect to GCC, myGHL, and the app is challenging, with poor documentation. Yes I know there are videos, I've seen literally every GHL help video... but it doens't cover all the problems I encountered. I think the downfall is just how unintuitive and non user friendly the system is.
3) The key calibration is just horrendous. Maybe it's just my profilux, but I've calibrated the keys at least 20 times and the buttons just press themselves all the time and it drives me nuts.
4) Setting up email is not easy. I've read through threads here and on the ghl forums and followed all instructions to no success. Still working with help desk on this.
5) Documentation and online resources in general are limited. You basically HAVE to talk to customer support if you want any problem solved, unless it's a very common problem. Most of my problems I haven't been able to find online or in their documentation.
One thing I'll say is that the support team is responsive and helpful. I just wish the system was intuitive enough that people can just USE it. I'm pulling my hair out everyday between trying to understand what's going on and things just not working without any error message/reason.
Just be wary that if you go with the profilux you will probably be frustrated with setting it up, and you'll be talking to customer support... a lot.
I'm still hoping once everything is set up, I won't have to touch anything and the controller will be reliable.
EDIT: I should say, everything that I've programmed so far is working correctly. It's just my frustration with the UI, error handling and poor documentation that's making me so frustrated.
