Mysa works with your favourite smart home platforms and home assistants, so you stay conveniently connected and in control.

Ratings and reviews

1. The app is very slow to login (10+ seconds!) when it's opened, because it doesn't properly cache the AWS/Cognito login credentials. I know this because I've studied most of the protocol that it uses (search for Mysotherm on Github). 2. Version 4.x is very disappointing. It appears they've just changed the UI in a whole bunch of cosmetic ways (why??? 🤷🏻‍♂️) without adding ANY new functionality. At the same time, the usage graphs have become significantly less usable and hard to read.

Mysa has a lot of promise - when I was shopping for smart thermostats for my PNW HVAC setup, they had some of the most comprehensive features. However, the whole experience is very bug-ridden: schedules fail to send commands, the app crashes when I try to pair, temperatures fail to set or don't seem to be accurate (unit blowing hot air when temp already above setpoint), etc. I've already invested quite a bit in these things but it's hard to recommend to others when there are so many issues.

Overall works as expected, but has a few annoyances. Loading and setting a temperature can be a bit slow, but neither are a big deal. Just make sure the loading animation ends before leaving a screen. Creating schedules needs an improvement. You can schedule a chosen temperature and time to be set on specific days, but once created you have to edit each of those days individually to change it. Otherwise, I've not had any of the issues mentioned in other reviews. It's honestly very convenient!
