Where did the function go??

Latest update removed the option to save credentials, requiring me to enter my username and password every time I launch the app.

An APP not updated in TWO years!

What is wrong with Rainforest Automation? I had the Eagle 200 which showed my current Smart Meter reading at anytime. But they terminated the CLOUD for this device and switched to EAGLE 3. The last time according to version history that the new Energy Vue app was updated is two years ago? I have asked for SIX Months to update the app to include my current SmartMeter reading but they have NOT done it as of September 20, 2023. What kind of company does NOT update there app’s constantly to improve their product?
I am very disappointed with the Rainforest team!
I would like to hear from other users.

Don’t buy if you plan on using that app.

I bought an Eagle 3 to integrate with home assistant, so I don’t have to use that app. That app is beyond bad and if you plan on using that app to monitor your consumption, just don’t.

Why it’s bad? Well the text is not fitting correctly on the screen and is half cut, graph take forever to load and you can zoom in/out on them. And yea it doesn’t play well with newer iPhone (dynamic island is hiding text for example).

Just thrown together app

Wow, what a crappy app! Very very rough and unpolished app, weirdly put together. The navigation back button often does not work and the only way to return to the main menu is exit app and restart. Man what a junker! Glad there is home assistant to see this data in a much better way.

can't get past login

my credentials works on the rainforest website and I get power updates from my rainforest devices via the webportal - no matter what I do however the name/password that work on the rainforest website will NOT allow me to login via this app.

not sure how to fix it and customer support was no help

app does not work at all for me.

Necessary functionality marred by poor interface

I want to like this app I really do. The interface could be so much better. They don’t even allow you to view the app in landscape mode.

Great energy tracker

I can finally have better control of my energy usage with the data that this app provides in real time

Awesome new features

So glad that BC Hydro lets us connect and control smart devices! The app provides monitoring of my smart plugs and lets me schedule actions, as well as control my peak demand.

Works great!

The app had a few issues but now it works great. I can see my home’s energy usage and control devices with a few quick clicks.

Doesn’t work on iPhone

Hasn’t shown graphs on my iPhone 10 xs for the last two years! Worst app ever but what do you expect from people contracted by BC Hydro?
