Can’t program thermostat

I’m unable to program my thermostat with this app, which is the number one reason to have the app. Everytime I try to program it crashes and I have to reopen it.

Love Remote Checkin

I have had nonissues with the app and it is much easier than using the thermostat. Best part is being able to check on the system while traveling.

Works great w/ Alexa+

First, Get a dedicated 2.4 extender for $10 and ur golden. It’ll make connecting any other non-matter 2.4 smart devices easier too. Once I connected that to this cheap WiFi extender it has been working perfectly. The app stays connected and reconnects if I unplug the extender. Only complaints are The schedule feature definitely has room for improvement but I do all that through Alexa so it’s moot for me now. Also it’d be nice if the app would have pass through control of all the settings like fan settings and switching to Heat and off. But it stays connected and Alexa stays connected to it and adjusts the temp every time I ask.

Thank you for your review. For programming, have you tried the quick edit function? At the program screen, touch the entry you want to change for more than one second (example heat morning temperature). That entry will highlight and can be directly changed. More tips are in the video that is accessible from the programming screen question mark (lower right) then tap the "camera" icon.

Password Rest

I am trying to reset my password. I submitted my email for password twice and still no email. When I click on app support it asks me to sign in.....I CAN'T, because the app is not sending the password reset. ANNNNNDDD, I tried to use a different email and it tells me that the serial number is already being used. WHAT DO I DO????

Good Once Set Up

The thermostat was installed by prior homeowner and they had misplaced the manuals. I was in my own to find and set up the thermostat and the app. I know there are security considerations but I found it a bit challenging to set up. Found out after calling Support I couldn’t set up without ‘permission’ from prior owner. Ended up calling Support for help. They wanted me to get some info from prior owner but agreed that wasn’t practical and just reset the app for a new install. Pretty easy after that. I actually find I don’t use it as much after setting schedules where I want. Just on occasion. Convenient to have though. No real issues. PS: Support was very helpful.

Easy

It is awesome and easy to use. Thanks

Loses program

The software is poor. Programming is not intuitive, and often the programmed temps, are over written by the server requiring a complete reprogramming of set temps. Tech support has claimed they are working on it. Been a year now with zero results. I would NOT recommend this product.

Issues

App is useless unable to use it

Trash

so I wake up this morning to turn off my goddamn air-conditioning, and neither one of my thermostats are showing up on this junk app

Constant Error

I like that I can adjust the thermostat from my phone but there are too many times where the app has an error and will not respond, and I have also not been able to figure out how to turn off the programmed temperature settings. I know how to adjust the programmed times but I would like to set the temperature my self as weather is very unpredictable

Response from developer

We recently released a Server Side Update to address when the app is slow to respond. (Growing Pains) So you should now see a much more lively response time. In addition, your thermostat may be set up for programmable mode for local or state codes. If codes permit, please contact us to change the thermostat setup. We are available M-F 8-5 CST at (844)258-5456 or by email at support@bluelinksmartconnect.com

Great but needs portrait mode

App needs a portrait mode, please release that feature. Thank you! Also introduce a feature where it says the HVAC is ON and running and report should show the duty cycle (times it was on and off)

Response from developer

Have you looked at the "Smart Data Reports" on the Main Screen? The selection is below Holiday Calendar. You can set up to see both Smart Reports and Energy Usage Data Reports.

Very handy

This app is excellent with wify connection you can change the settings while you are not home, I love it

Hard pass

Cost a lot. Little use. The one time did need it, we were too faraway from a cellular tower to use it.

Malfunctioning

Seems to disconnect from the WiFi whenever it wants and now I can’t even get it to reconnect. I’ve been trying for months to reconnect to my phone with no luck

Disappointed

I hate how you can not work the app I’m landscape mode—very annoying. I have an Ecobee thermostat at vacation home and app is more user friendly. This app still needs a lot of work.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand it can be frustrating when you expect a portrait mode option and don’t see one. Unfortunately, because our app relies on detailed program tables and precise button inputs, we found that portrait mode led to accidental mis-taps and costly mis-programming. By staying in landscape mode, we’re able to keep the buttons large and the interface clear, ensuring a smoother experience overall. We realize this may not be ideal for everyone, and we’re exploring ways to make the interface just as user-friendly in portrait mode. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll continue to let us know how we can improve.

Hate this app

You have to sign in every time and everything is horizontal on your iPhone! They need an update that will change the direction of the app and eliminate some of this archaic structure!!

Service

Horrible!!!!!!!!! Two days the app don’t work don’t recognize my email I request reset password, write down the email it’s says ERROR EMAIL 🙈 now if I’m upstairs I have to go downstairs every time I need to change something with the thermostat they also it’s the worst brand ever
