Remote control sucks!!

We have the “ultimate best 2 Cartier HVAC” units and Wifi connection works on one but 40% or so is out on the other unit. The WIFI signal is strong by both for many months with no solution by Carrier -

Doesn’t sync with thermostat

The app does not show the same information as the thermostat. You can turn on your cooling system, and half an hour later, the app will still show the system as off. It will also not have the same temperature or humidity readings as the thermostat for extended periods. How hard is it to sync an app and a device nowadays? Really poor effort by Carrier.

High Cost equipment, low cost app

Spent a lot of money for my top of the line carrier infinity AC unit but the app almost never shows current thermostat settings. Seriously lags. Very disappointing. A top of the line HVAC system should be paired with a top of the line app.

Can’t setup unless auto

This app is Aweful. I want to be able to set my house schedule. I have to put in a range and we sweat our asses off. I should be able to select cooling or heating not auto.

We are so uncomfortable, I either have to set it to a temp a hold. Even when not home.

Who doesn’t love wasting money or feeling uncomfortable. Those are my only choices. DO NOT buy a carrier unless you bridge it to a 3rd party app.

Awful App

I hate that I have to use this app. The NEST APP plus the nest leaf is much more efficient and the dashboard shows all the icons on the NEST APP! This CARRIER APP IS AWFUL!

Missing functionality

Very simplistic. Scheduling functionality is limited. Cannot pick a specific schedule. Fan control should be easily accessible. Needs to display system load percentage. Fan status.

Constant problems

All need to be fired. Never works. Constant problems

Carrier Infinity wall control

Excellent app. Easy to set up. AI help nailed it with my only question. Well done!

Carrier Infinity Control Module

The Carrier smart app and and HVAC system control panel is not friendly to use whatsoever. I previously owned a Honeywell control system panel with iPhone app, and it was 1000% better and easier to use. The Carrier HVAC system seems to be a good heating and cooling system, but the control panel is the worst!!! The Carrier HVAC system was installed 12 days ago, and I am already having issues with the smart app. It is already showing it is offline, and I cannot get it back online.
I am contacting the company that installed the Carrier HVAC system to see if they can reinstall the old Honeywell control unit with its iPhone app. This is so frustrating since I just spent a large sum of money on the Carrier system. Huge Regrets!!!!!!!!! Carrier needs to develop a new control panel and a new smart app!! Terrible design , absolutely terrible.

From bad to worse

This app has never been fully functional (usually 1 of our 2 zones is always “offline”). But after this most recent update, both zones are offline, rendering it completely useless.

Worst device for smart homes

Just a bad device for smart homes. Doesn’t connect to any of my automations. Go with a nest or ecobee. Much more smart home friendly.

By far the worst HVAC app

This is a terrible app. There’s nothing I can say good about it. As example, this app does not allow two critical functionalities. You can only set temperature zones and not a specific temperature setting. The status of the unit always says idle even when the unit is heating or cooling. The app is just so bad that I’m actually thinking about spending the extra couple hundred dollars to replace the controller to get a different app.

Nonintuitive Display

The screen is nonintuitive. The large main numbers should be the actual room temperature. The “setting” should be the small number. Go look at Trane - they have a better app.

App

The new app completely doesn’t work. My controller is connected to internet and the app says it is not so it can’t connect to the updated app. Totally useless IMO

Bizarre Interface

Looks like it was written in the 80's. Arcane interface reminiscent of something written 20+ years ago, and definitely not "smart". 30K for this Infinity system and this is the best they could do? The thermostat itself is just as stupid.

I wish I knew

When the set point on my Comfort Profile reads Auto 68-74, what does that mean? Temp reading is currently 74

OFFLINE!

Always offline
The worst app. In all my home automations!

Offline a lot

Luke many other reviews, the app says my system is offline but I’ve verified that everything is connected to my WiFi. Seems like this issue began about a few weeks back.

Can’t Reconnect if Not at Home

Always loses internet connection when I’m away from home but can only be reconnected if I am at the
thermostat. What’s the point of having an internet connected thermostat? Other devices I have can reconnect on their own!

Absolutely horrible

1.2.35. Still have not fixed the most basic of items. What is my system doing? Wall controller on WiFi and all servers connected. Wall controller says cooling. Your “smart” app says idle. Your crack AI chat bot is useless. Request for tech support goes unanswered. @carrier your need to fix your trash app. This has been going on for g on for way too long.


1.2.34 is total trash. Nothing in the app is reflected on the wall co troller. WiFi connected and operational. Your new BOT help is useless. Submitted help request 3 weeks ago no reply. I am done with @carrier


Absolute worst garbage. App shows my system is “off”. Wall controller shows it in cooling mode(can see on security camera) Now I need to drive 2 hours each way to reset system by killing power. What’s the point of the software to remote monitor? @Carrier fire every software developer and fix ur trash this has been going on since you released your “SmartHome” app. Not very smart is it.

1.2.33 now app either does not load or takes over 1 minute to show data. What trash. (Yes have deleted and reinstalled)

1.2.32. App continues to be trash. Let be be clear. Connected to all servers and WiFi. Your app IS NOT IN SYNC WITH WALL CONTROLLER. HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE TO FIX THIS. GET NEW DEVELOPERS.

1.2.31. Yet another trash release from @carrier. At least they are consistent. Wall controller shows heating. App shows heating and idle. Operating status in app shows everything off. What garbage.

1.2.30 yet again another trash release. PLEASE FIX the most basic of items. THE WALL CONTROLLER IS NOT IN SYNC WITH THE APP. HOW HARD CAN THIS BE TO FIX. TRASH!!

Once this is fixed I will enumerate the dozen other broken items

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 @Carrier. Garbage release. @Carrier 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 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.


1.2.27 yet another embarrassment. Get another dev team. Clearly this team cannot fix wall controller and app not being in sync. Wall controller clearly shows 40% gas heat. App says idle. Clearly no one is doing any sort of QC.
Stay away from @carrier

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.

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
