Ratings and reviews

New app and water heater are terrible. So much worse than the old one. If my wifi goes out for even just a few minutes, the water heater permanently disconnects, and I have to re-add it as a new device. Then, when adding it, I can't select the wifi SSID it found, because selecting it just immediately tries to connect without giving you the option to enter the password, and then it says it failed to connect. So, I have to manually enter everything. App feels like it was built by amateurs.

My primary complaint is that on my water heater I can set the water temperature up to 150 degrees but in the app I am limited to 140 degrees. in terms of taking advantage of the scheduling and time of use rates this is frustrating. However the app itself is lackluster in general and lots of the information is not presented clearly.

App scheduling consistently skips scheduled changes. The scheduling is the only reason to use the app. The energy usage tracking seems to be, at best, a guess and the energy score thing is a complete mystery. Energy score rates 3kwh/day as a 7 (out of what, I'm not sure but it's a a scary red color so I assume that's supposed to be bad). A comparable electric resistive model would easily use 4 times that for similar results, so I'm not sure what we're scoring here.
