I give up

Trystero777:
The issue with home /away has been an issue for years. If look at reviews you will see the same complaints back as far as 2003 with no update to fix it.
So to avoid the away switching to home via app go to water heater and put in vacation mode directly on the water heater. Only problem is cannot get out of vacation mode through app and must go back to water heater. But at least stays in away mode.
And you also learned that schedule not reliable.
So when all said and done don’t use app.

2.4 …why not current technology

I spent the better part of 1 hour configuring g, reconfiguring , restarts to all my devices , router and mesh network only to find it’s incompatible with current router devices.

Worthless

Since the day we installed our Rheem hot water heater this EcoNet has been worthless. It does not stay in the selected mode. If you put it in AWAY mode it switches itself back to HOME. I tried to thwart this with the SCHEDULE but it broke bumps out of that mode too. Save your money and get a regular hot water heater.

Software

The app is very glitchy. Crashes, functions are not very well thought out. You can do better.

Really useless

Every time I try to use this app, I have to reconnect my water heater. What is the point of a smart heater if I can’t control it when I’m not at home because the app forgot it? Controls are confusing too - I can’t tell if vacation mode is on or off, except by changing a setting and having the app tell me “vacation mode is on.” Just really useless.
