    Piece of junk. It would not complete setting up and should have at least worked as a clock out of the box. the only thing going for it is it's look. Makes a great doorstop.

    Three hours and 4 phone calls and 3 email to Ihome's tech support and they still could not get it connected to internet. I have the clock right next to the router and nothing. We got this clock for our 6 year old so he could set his alarm and listen to music in his room. This will not work unless you can get it to connect. We went thru two of them and neither one worked. The first sign should have been that there was 5 open boxes at the Store.

      I’m sorry to hear about your poor experience. Perhaps you have a dual band router that has both 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz network settings.
      Please make sure that you are attempting to connect to the 2.4Ghz network. The iAVS16 is not compatible with 5.0 Ghz networks.

      Router setting instructions will vary by provider. We recommend contacting the provider for setting instructions. Once your router is set to 2.4Ghz,
      please contact us. We’d be happy to walk you through the setup process.

      Best Regards,
      iHome Support

    Needs a lot of debugging. Alexa does not come on when prompted and when she does come on if it’s music plays for 30 minutes then shuts off

      Dear Customer,

      We apologize for any inconvenience. If you would like to set the alarm simply ask Alexa. If you are referring to the display it is dimmable and the light on the bottom fo the unit can be turned off. iHome

    i tried hooking this up for 3 hours now it says i do not understand what you're saying try again later. I called customer service, the guy was rude and it doesn't say to download the alexa app. Very frustrating. Also when i set it up it still does not show the correct time. AND the customer service line is only open from 8-4 so by the time i get home they are closed.

      We apologize for your experience. Press and hold the Alexa button on the iAVS16 for 30 seconds until you hear "restoring to factory settings". Please download the iHome iAVS App. It should walk you through the setup process. You must sign in to Alexa through the iHome AVS App. You may also want to download the Alexa App for additional features.
