Ratings and reviews

It takes a long time to refresh and the controller loses Wi-Fi connection infrequently even though it's 12 feet from the access point. Some settings aren't available in the app that require going to the controller to change. There's no setting to specify to use gas instead of electric on the dual fuel unit. Remote sensors are wired only. I wish I could use a third party app for my system instead, but variable speeds are only supported with this app.

I wish I read these ratings and comments before purchasing this piece of junk. I thought the issues were mostly with water heaters. Nope, does not work with my new heat pump system. Only worked for a couple of weeks and then stopped. Avoid it! The "update" is even worse! If only there was some form of customer support. Update: I have now had it for years,and it continues to be a massive problem. Constantly disconnects itself from the equipment. It is terrible!! The rating has been changed, fake!

The idea of this app is great for the heatpump water heater I bought last summer. The schedule side of it is flakey at best though. Originally I could set the night mode to off, now it only has vacation/away as an "off" option, which would be fine, but it randomly comes on, in random modes, ignoring the scheduled settings completely no matter which of the 4 time options are set to. Has been intermittent like this for a few months now.
