LOVE IT! However, unable to Link to Google Home... The Instructions Online are not accurate. It says Open Setting...Go To More Settings...then Assistant Apps...then look for Smart AC...but they don't have Assistant Apps as an Option nor do they have Smart AC as an Option in the Devices list anyways...

Temperature set doesn't sync with the remote in the app but is fine on the web. Fix that and I'll be an happy man and give it 5 stars. Besides that, it was really easy to set up. Some good features in there. Would like to have the opportunity to tweak the current temperature display. Seems to be off by at least 1C, probably a thermometer issue in the device but if I had the opportunity to adjust the display temperature it would be good. Adding new icons could be a good thing as well. Keep up updating this app. Much appreciated.

Update: There is a bug in the app. If you have multiple schedules set up and you edit one that is not the last on the list, it overwrites all subsequent schedules with the info you just added so you end up with multiple copies of the same schedule item. Please fix and i'll change back to 5 stars. Original: It took 2 mins to set up with the new sensibo sky...very slick! It works flawlessly with my fujitsu heatpump. It has all of the options which are on the remote, modes, fan speeds, swing. Scheduling is a breeze. Very impressed!

A very well made on boarding experience

Love my sensibo. Great to turn on the aircon before I get home and walk into a cooled house. Only reason for 4 star is that the IFTTT triggers seem to be hot and miss and can put the power state out of sync

Hoping the flap control can be included for my Hitachi AC

Thank you Alexandre. Temperature should sync easily in the app - can you please email support@sensibo.com and we would get more info about the problem.

Sensibo January 20, 2017

Hi Peter, It is fixed now. You now should have Cool, Heat, Auto and Dry.

ofir vainshtein January 21, 2017

great app

Sensibo January 21, 2017

We've reverted the changes - please contact us at support@sensibo.com and we'll upgrade your system remotely

Lin K January 15, 2017

Works intermittently, beta product Product works but reliability is not guaranteed. Pods battery lasts 5 mths or so. 5pods, still not detecting on/off but at least can manual set it on/off

Sensibo March 14, 2016

We're adding features all the time, the product is not out for a year yet, battery issue was fixed (we send new batteries free of charge)

David Whye Tye Ng January 5, 2017

Good customer support. 12-Dec-16 I received the Home Kit via $53 fast shipping. Initial setup a bit trying but customer service worked diligently to have have all 3 pods working. As of 5-Jan-17, my 3rd pod is working fine. I will recommend this to a friend. A minor bug prevented me from changing the icon on my kitchen pod. A 5 star if fixed!

Sensibo December 12, 2016

Should be fixed now.

T LA September 29, 2016

Great model This took longer to unbox than it did to setup. Worked flawless using UDH7/9 Fujitsu heads

Yaron Kaufman August 28, 2016

Great product, one issue I'm using Sensibo since they launched at Indiegogo. Both my wife and myself are using the app and it works great. We had a pleasant surprise twice to receive a replacement battery via mail. The only issue that you must find a resolution to is syncing with the old remote or the AC when turned on/off not via the app. It's always weird to see it's still on in the app when someone in the house turned it off manually.

Heather Stewart July 23, 2016

I have 3 pods and will be adding more soon. I love and need this app to work correctly, especially the scheduling. But at the same time as the latset app was launched, all my scheduling stopped working. WTF!? I have done everything to fix it on this end, the issue isn't here. Also. when will they know if the units have been turned on by the remote vs the app? We need this also, and to add features like being able to schedule temperature/fan changes, not just turn on/off at desinated times.

Sensibo August 7, 2016

Hi Heather - we added an option to sync your A/C manually in the app if it was turned on/off via the remote (it's in the A/C settings and will pop up when you try to change temp or similar when the A/C is off in the app). Other methods are not successful or possible (will shorten battery life by A LOT)

Dale Campbell July 26, 2016

So far so good but... I wish the icons for the AC being on vs off weren't so similar. Red versus green instead of different shades of blue would be much more helpful.

Sensibo August 7, 2016

Hi Dale - we use glowing white for ON and grey for OFF and added "ON/OFF" text in the center of the screen. The background of the ON/OFF button reflects the mode you're in - blue for cool and fan, orange for heat. I hope this helps for now.

Peter Fordyce July 22, 2016

Changed rating because update delivered nothing I even understand - let alone was hanging out for. Also, I can't understand the additional screen where you get to select the Sensibo Pod you wish to interact with. Seriously, how many users have more than one? Surely, multiple pods should be accessed via widgets. This intro screen is a pain! And, no change after last update ... in fact, what exactly did it deliver? Something about syncing something? WTF?

Sensibo August 7, 2016

Hi Peter - you should see the last Pod you were in when opening the app so the screen with all Pods (in your case - just one) will rarely be seen by you. We added an option to sync A/C state with the app in case you used your remote and now the app thinks your A/C is on when it's off (and vice versa)

Dean Shaw July 21, 2016

Keeps improving Latest updates are making this a much better product. Keep it up

Sensibo August 7, 2016

Thanks :)

Jim B June 29, 2016

Schedule now works perfectly! This app allows control of your dumb AC if you purchase the Sensibo hub and pod/s. Easy to set up and to operate. getting better all the time. Unbelievably useful.. Can not say enough about the product and support.. Way to go!!

Sensibo July 3, 2016

Edit July 3: :)

Martyn Cook June 20, 2016

They just can't keep it working Every week it seems there's a new 'upgrade' that fixes most of the issues created by the previous 'upgrade' while creating a set of whole new issues!!!! Don't touch it yet. They're not even close to getting it right.

Greg Antonelli June 3, 2016

Perfect Awesome product great app. Turns on when I tell it and turns off when I tell it to. You can even go to the Web browser and it will sense vibration if you don't trust the app. Very easy to install and customer support is excellent. *****

Sensibo June 7, 2016

Aaron Lovelace June 22, 2016

Just Can't Seem To Keep It Stable Getting Really frustrating new version out 1.0.117 and it just crashes when selecting certain pods and you can't remove the pods and try and reinstall them, stop pushing out unstable product releases

Sensibo July 3, 2016

Hi Aaron - we've done some fixes to the app and server that should help with your issue, can you try to update and give it a go?

Daniel Goldberg May 9, 2016

When it works, it's amazing The app works, flows well and is useful.the schedule is amazing. However there are enough bugs that are incredibly annoying, such as app being frozen on load from background.

Sensibo May 15, 2016

Hi Daniel - we're working on that. In the meantime if you see it takes more than ~3 seconds to load just kill the app and relaunch.

Charlie Bournis May 24, 2016

Been over a month since last update Why am I still stuck in Celsius?

Sensibo June 7, 2016

Please update to the latest version :)

Jagdish Patel May 17, 2016

Bad Worst . pls reply me

Sensibo June 7, 2016

Hi Jagdish - we didn't see an email from you, did you contact us at support@sensibo.com ? Would be happy to help, please email us and let us know what's wrong. Alex

Yonatan Argov January 17, 2016

Very limited features and functionality. Most of the promised campaign features were never developed. Outrageous price for additional pod if you ever want to expand to more A/Cs. Hardware keeps having to be reset :(

Sensibo April 3, 2016

Hi Yonatan, we'd like to help with the restart issues (no problem to replace your gear if needed) - didn't see an email from you, could you please elaborate? The price in Israel is fixed at the moment, hope to offer a lower price later on!

Gilad Avni January 24, 2016

מוצר זבל חבל על על שקל או דולר

Edgard Diaz October 26, 2015

Needs to be more reliable Works most of the time. Sometimes it will not send the commands properly, for example temperature change or turn off. Even if it says it was successful.

Sensibo October 26, 2015

Hi Edgar, does this happen to you only with the off command when the AC is set to 26c auto fan? I can see off cool 26 does work. Let's continue via support@sensibo.com? Alex

Alexandra Man November 3, 2015

Scheduling made this app a 5* one! IFTTT integration is nice as well.

josh smith November 3, 2015

No support for Android 6.0

Sensibo November 9, 2015

Hi Josh - we have a fix for this in the next version (should be up soon), in the meantime you can bypass this by enabling location permissions for Sensibo in your settings. EDIT: update is up! Can you give it a try?

Claude Benshaul October 24, 2015

I erased by mistake my previous review. Basically it won't install on a tablet (Nexus 7 Android 5.1.1), Short range of the pod forcing non-optimal location, flimsy build of battery contacts and complete lack of automation and/or scheduling features so IFTTT is a must. Nice concept but the product completely failed for me as it's also unable to determine if the AC is actually switched on.

Noam Shemesh October 15, 2015

Great app and product!

Sensibo July 26, 2015

Hi Noam, These permissions were never used and were left there by mistake. They were already been removed in the next version. Best, Omer.

Austin Peters September 8, 2015

Very easy to use. Loving it Very easy setup and controls my mini split perfectly. Such a great purchase. I was feeling left out of the IoT given that the Nest only works with wired thermostats. Not anymore. My AC now works in my schedule!

Shlomo Matichin September 8, 2015

Works well, feels right, makes sense This is the life in 2015. Controlling the air conditioning without getting up in the middle of work (air conditioner controller not in my office). Why didn't I get this sooner?

Lee Edwards September 18, 2015

No way of knowing I have no idea if this app is good or bad. I received my first hub and two pods after an expected lengthy wait only to find the hub didn't work. Numerous emails later it was agreed a replacement would be sent. Three weeks later, I received another faulty hub. It took nearly a week for someone to answer my emails about the fault with the replacement hub. I have asked for a refund as I believe this product is below standard and the customer service is bordering on a very poor joke. STILL NO REPLY!!

Sensibo September 24, 2015

Hi Lee - the hub you got was tested manually by the team to ensure it has no issues before it was sent, it has issues connecting to your network, we sent you additional instructions via email and this can be resolved remotely. We apologise for the delayed responses - as we mentioned, it's holiday season. Alex

Chow Sem Lee September 3, 2015

Great support from the dev team despite minor technical issues. The product works well and look forward to more functionalities in the near future.

Ari Volcoff August 31, 2015

Great support Had an issue with unblock us service that was blocked, and after a few days the issue got resolved by the dev team

Thom Ellis August 29, 2015

Great start Lots of room for improvement, but it's a great start.

Eric Levy August 10, 2015

Great tool .no more looking for the remote, show temp and humi, anywhere in the world control, actually working two Indoors with ine sensibo, wish to have more options as schedule, swipe,

Anthony J Jurado August 4, 2015

Late to the game Google Nest! Thanks Sensibo

Sarah Garfinkel July 26, 2015

Awesome device and features Recommended!

Shahar Villeval June 24, 2015

Shows great promise Just finished setting up Sensibo, everything works but could be better. The app crashed a few times on my phone in the middle of configuration and there I could find no way of returning to earlier points on the setup (like recalibrating the remote, renaming the pods and probably one or two that I can't recall right now). All in all the experience is great and the direction you've taken with setup is quite intuitive. I'd like to see more configurable settings in the app (as the ones I've mentioned)

Sensibo July 1, 2015

Hi Shahar, We are working to fix all the issues that you've mentioned. Also, many additional features are in the pipeline, so stay tuned for future updates. Best, Omer.

Haim Chibotero June 15, 2015

Super cool I am also missing more of the what if scenarios for android

Sensibo July 1, 2015

Hi Haim, We are working to add interesting features so stay tuned. Best, Omer.
