Ratings and reviews

3/19/25 update: 1 year later. An embarrassing product. I would say I'm actually able to change the temperature 1% of the time. Garbage. 3/13/24 update: The app worked well for about 1 month and has become unresponsive again. Worthless. February: The idea is great but it doesn't even work half the time. It'll either continuously load or if I can actually get it to load, and I try to change the temperature, the temp icon will gray out and go back to what it was before.

App won't allow you to completely shut off water heater. If settings turned to lowest setting on water heater the app is disabled. Not the way I was hoping it would work. Update December 2025. I have 2 water heaters that are supposed to be able to use this app. Not happy at all with the app. For about a year, one of the water heaters wouldn't connect. Now that one connects and it can't find my other one. The app is supposed to be able to connect to multiple devices. They don't.

The app works, but the scheduling function doesn't always take effect correctly. Example: You'd set it to change to 110 degrees and heat pump only at 4pm. Yet, the unit will show 130 degrees and energy saver at 4.05pm. But as soon as you open the app on your phone and go to schedule it magically pushes a trigger to the unit and it goes to 110 degrees and heat pump only.
