About this app

MRCOOL SmartHVAC App works with MRCOOL Smart Controllers to convert MRCOOL Air Conditioners & Heat Pumps to smart ones. Our smart controllers work with this App to help you convert your existing or new ACs to smart ACs. You can control your MRCOOL ACs through your smartphone or simple voice commands (our smart controllers are Alexa & Google Home enabled).
These DIY controllers are extremely easy to setup. You can automatically turn the air conditioner or heat pump OFF when you leave the premises and start to cool/heat once you arrive as per your settings. This App gives you complete control of your heating and cooling. It figures out when you're at home and when you're out and adjusts the settings to provide comfort and energy savings.
You can set weekly schedules for your air conditioners, monitor usage history, set air conditioning action in relation to your locations, see the air filter status of your AC and lot more. You can set intelligent temperature based triggers for your air conditioners by using the ‘Comfy’ feature under ‘My Rules’ section of the app. Comfy lets you set triggers to personalize the operation of your AC. It helps you automatically change your AC settings if room temperature goes above or falls below a pre-set value. It helps you reduce your energy bills with lot of convenience.

Ratings and reviews

The unit has a major connection related bug. If Wi-Fi is lost, it reverts to the last "Comfy" settings stored locally and ignores temperature changes from the standard remote. Restoring the connection appears to be the only fix, but it is not straightforward at all. The standard remote should override settings stored by the USB Wi-Fi dongle whenever a new command is received, allowing local control even when Wi-Fi is unavailable.

This doesn't work seamlessly with the remote. the remote stays on what that one was on for a setting. I can't program the unit to turn off on cool mode, it just keeps cooling the house until I manually shut it off. Either something is wrong with my unit or it needs to be greatly improved. The unit does work well for cooling my house, something with the technology is holding it back.

I have the mr.Kohl's mini sprint at my property, and it has been wonderful to be able to control it hundreds of miles away. but the app has connectivity issues many times and not being on site has made it difficult.And there's a lot of unknown, if it is sucking energy, or if it's performing the way it should. but overall, it has been really nice to have at that control from so far away
