Excellent App with pool pump

Works with my pool pump 1.5 HP scheduler for a few years ; perfect with wi fi from remote locations , even from outside the USA . Wish they could only have a small update where you can just turn the scheduler on /off without deleting the set times; otherwise it does its job really well.

Yikes

So difficult to connect. Timer doesn’t work. Impossibly frustrating and not helpful in any way.

Cancelled on me when I upgraded my router

Not good support

Excellent

Thank you for this fantastic app! It works perfectly for the eco plugs that I use all over my house. This app is a great replacement for the previous WiON app that has been discontinued. Excellent app that works flawlessly. Thank you developers for this great application!

No updates

I have a programmable timer for my pool. I’ve had it for the last several years and it has worked fine. I started noticing last pool season the timer was not going off when it was supposed to. It wasn’t shutting off it was supposed to. Now it doesn’t work at all through the app. There has not been an app update in several years. That I’m aware of.

Not working at all

The setting function is not working at all

Source code?

Wondering if the devs would release the source code to this app? I would love to add the ability to delete a schedule and some other basic features. There have been no updates to the app in years. Please leave an email address or link to a git repo if that's an option.

Doesn’t work

Can’t use the box, doesn’t work, cannot be installed

Unreliable hardware and software

The pool switch kept disconnecting from wi-fi even though the signal is excellent. Other wi-fi devices have stable connection. And now device won't connect to the wi-fi even after hard reset. So the device is pretty much a brick now, even manual switch doesn't work. Support sends an instruction which I followed multiple times with no luck.

Does nothing

Can get instructions to connect to a device when downloaded, but then there is no way to actually start the connect.

Not good at all

The Application is not good at all. The product looks good

Junk

Doesn’t connect to anything once you’re out of the network it’s linked to. Customer support is horrible

Wishful thinking

Doesn’t do anything it’s supposed to do. A waste.

Very bad app

Most of the functions did not work . Seems a scam

This Application doesn’t work.

This application does not work properly. The timer cannot be used, it does not record the hours, and when you try to edit, the application crashes. I contacted the manufacturer, they tried to help, and in the end their solution was to return the timer. I appreciate that, but since I am in Costa Rica, the cost of sending the equipment back to the USA is higher than buying a new one from another brand. Unfortunately, this means money and equipment wasted. 🥲

Poorly written app

Not only is this app unintuitive and difficult to setup, the instructions don’t make sense and the graphics are incredibly ugly. After cycling through the same confusing message several times it became apparent the instructions were asking for the phone to be rebooted which is not exactly a normal way to setup an app. I have very little confidence in the quality and effectiveness in this product.

DoesNot connect

Wion - easy setup and worked like magic

Eco Plug - does nothing, can’t set up, no connection

Enough said

Crashing

Every time I try and set my device up it crashes.

Update needed!

It worked summer of 2024, but this summer I can’t even get connectivity!

Yikes

So difficult to connect.
