Missing important functionality
This is important for i.e when at home the unit is in Program mode, but when away for a few days need to change to manual mode and i.e 16 degrees so the house does not cool out too much. When on my way back to the house require to switch from Manual (and 16 Degrees) to Program mode, to be warm upon arrival.
Please respond!
Response from developer
Thanks Zap for the feedback. It makes sense, will communicate to the developer team and hope to add this function soon.
App and controller not connecting
No good since update
Response from developer
thanks dggdyjc, yes, we have removed the loading bar, because now if you were able to open the app and landing on the main operation screen (where set temperature could be changed), it means the app was able to connect to the system and changes made in the app will go thru, therefore, we no longer need the loading to indicate if the command is executed. please try this, make a change in the app, and close it right after, and wait for 5 mins or so , then reopen the app, the app should reflect your last settings which means it has been synced to the wall controller. but there is a change that the change will not synced to wall control from app, that is if the wall control is down. (i.e. power down or wifi signal is down). Please let me know if any other concerns or feedbacks, thanks
It is ok, but needs improvement
Update no good
User friendly app
Reasonable
Multiple units
If you have multiple units, you require a Wi-Fi interface on each of the units and a different user email to sign into each of them, so in larger residences, where you could have two systems, e.g. upstairs and downstairs you can’t control both without logging out and logging into the other. Very annoying.
App doesn’t login to the system
Very limited functionality
Does NOT work with Siri, Google Home or Alexa. The cost of the wifi module is very high in relation to the functionality provided. Other third party thermostats (which are not compatible with Braemar) are cheaper and offer much more versatility in that they can be voice controlled via Google home etc. having the ability to voice control via home assistant means you can turn on and off your thermostat without having to reach for a phone. Would get 4-5 stars if Google home functionality was available.
