Garbage

1.2.40 just terrible. If ur using the carrier or Bryant version it stinks. Dozens of emails for a single change with no information except “a change was made”. Well no duh. What change? Wall controller not in sync with app, UI is terrible and overall poor quality and no testing.

1.2.39 another awful release. Not testing whatsoever. Any changes at the wall controller result in 35 notifications in a 4 hour period. Clearly the QA department is out to lunch.

Latest version is just a continuation of the awful garbage @carrier puts out. How is it possible there is no testing. If everyone complains about the same thing you may want to believe them. App and controller not in sync. Notifications are a joke they say something changed. No duh, what changed? Email notifications are even worse. There is a critical issue so you need to go to app to look for something. What triggered the email? Your “schedule is a joke”. You limit to 4 “comfort profiles”. Now to what u call a UI. What a joke. Copy your competitors. They are far superior to yours. You can’t even get your screen layouts to not overlap. What a joke of an app.


1.2.33. Latest “version”. Won’t even load or have to wait 1 minute for any data to appear. What trash. Have tried to delete and reinstall app same thing.

1.2.32. Trash. App still is not in sync with wall controller. You may think this is a joke but u need to do much better. Fix ur bugs.

1.2.29 Yet another joke of a release.
Wall controller shows fan off and gas off. Card shows heating but idle. How in any way possible does this garbage get thru QC. I can explain. There is not a shred of quality control @Bryant. Garbage release. @Bryant get ur act together and put some quality into your work.

1.2.28. Not sure what bugs you are fixing but the crack team @carrier / Bryant has yet to fix the most basic of bugs. What is my system doing?
Wall controller shows 55% gas heat. Card shows idle and status and usage shows no gas heat but fan on

Who is asleep at the wheel. Fix ur trash @carrier / Bryant

1.2.27. Come on. This app does not provide the most basic of functions. What is my system doing? This release still has not fixed wall controller and app not being in sync. Just pathetic that this junk is being put out.


1.2.26 same trash as before. Most basic of functions don’t work. ?what is my system doing? Nope wall controller and app not in sync

If your “listening” fix the most basic. WRONG STATUS

Changes from app not /infrequently reflected on wall controller

“Smart” what a joke. Not worth it. Toss the app and start over with folks that know what they are doing.

Carrier or Bryant app. Same exact issues just different colors.

EMBARRASSMENT.

1.2.25 yet another trash release. wall controller shows fan on with 40% gas heating. (Visually confirmed and correct. ) Status and Usage in app shows fan on but gas off. Card shows heating but idle. How in all that is good is this possible.? Clearly not an ounce of QC. But they did add the ability to not show the weather. Stop with the lipstick on the pig and fix the pig. Just HORRIBLE TRASH. @Carrier you should be ashamed to release this junk

Constant re-authentication, near unusable app

After the most recent update, you need to constantly re-authenticate every single time you open the app.

Please fix this, the app was fine previously, and authenticating once every 2-3 months is reasonable.

But this bug makes it nearly unusable with the constant authenticating every time one goes to change the temp.

Besides that, app was great.

Remote control not working

It happens multiple times that when I started heating on my app, the home control plane wasn’t updated when the change. It looks like there is something wrong with their backend.

Not user friendly

I am in IT, this layout is not inherently obvious to control to unit. Could be much simpler without need for training on a simple app.

Not very intuitive

The App doesn’t flow well in my opinion. Setting a time schedule takes several windows. Good luck adjusting fan speed. The weather portion of the thermostat display is correct 50% of the time. Shows rain often on a bright sunny day.

UI is terrible

Previously I would have given a 3 star review. But now I find the app confusing and unnecessarily complex. Needs to be simplified so I can just set my temp for each zone. More options does not mean a better experience

App is terrible

Sad ….. at least the old app kinda worked.

At least the weather is right. The control of the hvac ….. not so much.

Constantly drops connection

What good is a remote thermostat app that is never connected? It’s the most basic part of the app and keeps losing connection.

Get it together Bryant.

Can’t sign up

It won’t let me sign up. Keeps sending code to my email, I type correctly in the box and keeps giving me an error message

Stupid app

This is a poorly designed app that is not user friendly. If you want me to enter Wi-Fi password ask for it. Spent over an hour screwing around trying to get this app set up. Waste of time.

Thermostat goes off line too often

Why is your thermostat going off line so often. My WiFi is fine. Nothing else goes off line, but your thermostat. Already happened 2 times this week. Have to reboot it to have it online again. Please fix.

Bryant Support Service

Great technical support in helping and correcting issues I was having with my smart thermostat

Missing system

We replaced another HVAC system and was unable to add the device to the app.

Finally we were able to add the device to our account via the Bryant website. The app shown a tab for our basement device with no controls. Another tab in the app shows the device is ‘online’.

The app has never worked well, however, this is a new level of dysfunction.

Absolutely Horrible, inept and useless. They broke what did work with an update.

The app worked nicely in the past, but with one update, they made it so that it disconnects continuously and temperature cannot be controlled remotely. Set up must be done again to repair the problem and then it will reoccur continually. They told me they were releasing an update which would fix this, but unsurprisingly, the problem still exists and is completely infuriating. The basic functions do not work and have not been working, and the problem that virtually every recent reviewer has mentioned has gone unsolved and it appears that Bryant does not take the complaints seriously. Avoid their system and this program if you have any need at all to remotely control your system.

Response from developer

We understand you're experiencing connectivity issues with one of your systems after the recent app update. Sorry you're running into this. To investigate, please email ResDigital@carrier.com with your system ID. For the fastest SmartHome support, use Profile → Help & Support → Contact Us within the app.

Data and charts

Been using the app for the last 6 months since having the system installed. Coming from the Google Nest system, it’s been a downgrade in UI as well as data. Would love to see more data and charts showing run time and other granular info.

Works, but unstable and loses contact with therms. Not reliable enough for remote access

The old app was far better. This new one gives good control when it connects. But the cloud server they use will drop connections from the thermostats. One can reset, but they continue to lose connection. It is not stable enough to rely on if you require remote access.

Price Setting

The app needs to allow for tiered pricing, otherwise home owners will find this feature useless.

Intermittently posts a waving hand greeting when opening app

Would really like for this greeting to go away…It is irritating to me. Hoping that Bryant Smart Home APP can allow me to delete this function….
