It just doesn’t work
I have two plugs and have paired both with the app. although the app shows it turning off and on in the plug doesn’t do anything. It’s supposed to work with Alexa, I’ve migrated the settings over to Alexa and it doesn’t work either. I’ve contacted the manufacturer who have been able to replicate the problem and so (4 weeks ) and nothing has changed. I would suggest anyone thinking of buying this product should think again as they will be wasting their money completely.Show lessJrmcveighUK
Glitchy
I’ve had the gateway and plugs for a while. The app made it very difficult to set the timer on the plugs and is limited to only 3 times a day. Otherwise the app and plugs did work well and could be controlled with Alexa or Google.
Recently, the plugs have stopped coming on at the set times, which is annoying when I want to wake up or come home to a warm house. All my heating is electric. They do still work with Alexa and Google.
Come on energenie sort your tech out!Show lessPadawansnips
Trying to do too much
This same app is used to control my Me Home security camera, my M365 scooter, and a Bluetooth temperature sensor. This seems off to me, and goes a long way towards explaining why the app is, as of today, badly broken for camera control, with buttons that disappear, incorrect error messages, and terrible buffering. It worked great when I first got the camera but now it barely works.
The developer would be better off with a suite of separate apps for their devices, perhaps sharing libraries for consistency. I can’t imagine the sort of integration hel that arises from trying to support dozens of different devices in a single app.
Please fix the me camera interface!!!Show lessStephanCom
Awful
Just invested in TRV’s and adaptors. Setting timers on adaptors is full of bugs, on and off times set them self to the same time. Still working with the system, it’s taken me ages to set up TRVs, and adaptors seem very susceptible to even a chair being in the way. Hope it gets better.
Update, here we are sometime later and their eTRVs are rubbish. I had one snap completely off the radiator rendering totally useless. I have 2 gateways as 1 doesn’t cover my house (2 bedroom flat) I have a gateway in a bedroom and another in the lounge, the bedroom radiator will not pair with the gateway in the same room, only the gateway in the lounge, and it doesn’t turn on when it’s programmed to. I have 2 radiators in the lounge both paired with the gateway in the lounge, one eTRV works as programmed the other doesn’t. I can manually boost the one that doesn’t work via the programming. Full of bugs, app is different to the web version different functions. App has geofencing, but no way of turning it off. Support is non existent. Avoid and just get simple Bluetooth TRVs or just bog standard ones, save your money, you won’t make it back in reduced gas bills.Show lessBurnig 1
Too many bugs
This is now a dangerous application and solution.
You switch one device on/or off and another does the same. Imagine switching an adult bedroom light on late at night and your children’s light goes on, or worse!
UI / UX is very rough.
You only have to look at the frequency of releases to question the quality of their software delivery cycle.
This needs a complete rewrite and fully tested.
Nowhere near ready for safe public use.
Use at your own peril.Show lessCjmh01
Misunderstood heating
Lots of comments (even on main review sites) that etrvs wont control the boiler but if setup correctly with the energenie thermostat the radiators will control the boiler by throwing a bypass to the thermostat resulting in individual heat control for each radiator and each room. Works flawlessly spread across three floors of my house, the setup isn’t intuitive and you do require the matching thermostat and etrvs but the ‘follow thermostat’ works by design. Regularly open the app just to check which radiator is heating up.Show lessDoobdonk
Not Working Correctly with Dimmer Switches
This just refuses to work correctly for me.
I installed the MiHome Gateway and added a dimmer switch and whilst the dimmer switch works when operated manually it does not via the app.
For starters there is only an on/off option and then whilst off works, on turns the lights on then they dim back down on their own and then back up again and then remain on.
Have spent quite a while trying to make this work the way it is supposed to but it just doesn't and it is supposed to work with their dimmers.
Also noticed that sometimes lights randomly switch on themselves usually after going to bed so not great either.Show lessrobinwilson16
Great idea but still has bugs
Downloaded this to control my 3 timers, great idea in principle and when it works it is handy but can be slow at times and if you want to switch them off or on on the app you gotta press a few times on some occasions. Timers work fine but once you change or take them off the timers are still active. Needs ‘polishing up’ but on the right tracks.Show lesssamb0i
Great app
Use this to control lights and plugs. Have got sensor which will switch lights on at night if movement detected.
Easy to use. Now have 7 plugs and 4 light switches. All controlled from phone. Easily change on/off times. Great!Bigscotboy
App modification
The system works ok. The operation of the plug in wall sockets should be able to be controlled with a one time duration timer. If I want to control a certain item I would want to go in to the app and turn on for 3 hours and then know it would go off and not come back on until a new commandChrisy boy d
