## Description

FriedrichConnect is a smart home app that puts climate control in your hands. With an easy setup and thoughtful defaults, you can tune comfort and energy use from anywhere.

Key features include home/away/night mode, a 7-day customizable schedule, remote on/off and setpoint adjustments, and control of modes (cool, heat, auto) and fan speeds. It also supports grouping multiple units—either as a single system or as separate zones—and invites others to manage devices, making shared home comfort simple.

## Review summary

Overall, FriedrichConnect is plagued by reliability issues on Apple devices: frequent disconnects, broken controls after updates, and poor support. While a minority of users can get it to work with multiple units, the app often shows grey screens, fails to update settings, and requires workaround steps (like re-adding devices) with unclear guidance. Network and device compatibility problems worsen the experience.

### Pros

- Remote control on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) when the app is functioning.
- Supports controlling multiple units within the same app (e.g., two WallMaster units).
- Scheduling feature exists and can be useful when functioning.
- Some users report the app briefly works after re-adding devices or certain updates.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity failures and unreliable remote control across sessions.
- Updates often disrupt functionality, leading to grey screens or a non-interactive app.
- Customer support is slow or unresponsive when issues arise.
- Complex setup and network quirks (must use 2.4 GHz, disable private Wi‑Fi address, password entry issues) and cross‑unit compatibility problems.
- Scheduler and temperature changes fail to save or sync reliably.
