User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's ease of setup for smart plugs and good integration with Google Home. However, common issues include poor Bluetooth connectivity, mandatory account creation, frequent app crashes, and an intrusive interface with many notifications and forced data collection policies. These problems notably affect the experience with Bluetooth thermostats, leading to significant user frustration.
Pros
  • Easy setup for devices like smart plugs
  • Works well with Google Home integration
  • Simplifies connection to WiFi devices
Cons
  • Bluetooth functionality is unreliable or non-functional
  • App requires mandatory account creation
  • Frequent crashes, especially when accessing instructions or clearing cache
  • Excessive notifications and forced data collection agreements

I wanted a Bluetooth Thermostat to be independent from Wi-Fi. I said fine, the initial installation via Wi-Fi is ok to get the system running. I thought, afterwards I could just automatically connect via Bluetooth, like with my headphones, it's a Bluetooth Thermostat after all. I thought WRONG. Since this app always needs Wi-Fi to connect to the device via Bluetooth, it's not really Bluetooth applicable. So it does not meet my expectations. :-(

Could not put more. Software is bloatwared with notifications, need registration, also forced to agry with data collection. Bluetooth connection crashes. Then app ask to upload log or clear cash and also crashes. Without the app, heater controlles are useless.
