## Review summary

Rheem EcoNet's Android app has mixed reviews: scheduling and energy-saving features are praised and usable, but recurring Wi-Fi and reliability problems, data display gaps, and setup/connectivity issues undermine the experience. Multiple reviews note unstable connections, missing temperature data, and automatic mode changes, indicating reliability and UX improvements are needed despite some positive usage reports.

### Pros

- Scheduling is simple and highly customizable (per day, different settings).
- The app enables energy savings by scheduling and temperature control.
- The app has been reported to work well for some users and has improved over time.

### Cons

- Wi‑Fi connectivity is unstable and frequently drops, causing the app to lose connection.
- App reliability issues: frequent errors, needing manual reconnects, and inconsistent performance.
- Data display limitations: the 30-day energy view is broken or inaccurate and current water temperature is not shown (shows tank level instead).
- Device connection/setup problems: often shows 'one or more devices unavailable' and trouble connecting to devices.
- Automatic mode switching back to heat pump (losing user-set mode) in some cases.
