## Review summary

Users praise EcoNet for remote control and visibility into current status and energy use when the app is connected. However, repeated reviews highlight core reliability issues: frequent connectivity failures to Wi-Fi or the appliance, unreliable scheduling, and overall buggy, slow performance. A notable gripe is the removal of peak-hour (TOU) control, reducing automation options. In short, the hardware and data are valuable when the app works, but persistent disconnects and inconsistent behavior make the experience unreliable for many users.

### Pros

- Remote control of the water heater from anywhere.
- Ability to view current status and energy consumption/history.
- Core control and monitoring features available when the app connects.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity problems: app cannot connect to Wi-Fi or loses connection to the appliance.
- Scheduling and automation are unreliable: schedules often don’t save or run as intended; four‑event limit.
- Overall buggy, slow, and non‑responsive performance: app often shows errors or delays.
- Removal of peak-hour/TOU controls: cannot turn off the heater during peak periods as before.
