Ratings and reviews

the app regularly disconnects from the hub saying "cant reach this device right now." It then tells me the device is offline, which it isn't as the thermostat still works. To get the app reconnected requires me to reset the smart hub by unplugging it at least 6 times and hoping it decides to work again. its very time consuming and frustrating. This is the 5th time it's done it and I haven't had it for a year yet

This used to be excellent. Now, however, for some time it has been taking an extremely long time to open our heating. The app opens instantly and shows all the smart things you have connected to the hub, but we have only one, the heating, which buffers endlessly. Often we have to close the app then open again to open our heating controller. Useless. Very poor user experience. Yes we have the latest version.

Don't like the updated app, doesn't respond when I increase the temperature. It could be temperamental before, but the screen would blink to show it has registered, now it doesn't. When it does work, it takes ages to turn the heating on, so you wait ages to see if it's going to switch on or not.. Easier to go downstairs to switch on at thermostat which defeats the object
