Walk in freezer
Spent $2000 on the EcoNet thermostat to hook to my walk-in freezer. After countless hours, I am still unable to connect the EcoNet thermostat to the app. Customer support has been Little to no help.
Saves moolah
With the timer and the over-ride the water heater still looks like new after several years. Great product.
Keeps dropping WiFi
Unfortunately the app loses connectivity to the router and it’s default mode kicks in
Certificates are broke
The certificate fqdn doesn’t match , rendering the app unusable.
Hot Water
I would like to review power usage during the vacation mode without changing modes. Haven’t found how to do that.
Awesome
Excellent app
New app won’t find Water Heater
Worked great until they forced the switch to this new app. Now my device doesn’t show up and won’t detect.
Jus ok
I’ve had a few problems with the app. It’s been ok lately but sometimes it wouldn’t connect.
Does NOT Work
System keeps disconnecting and it’s not my Internet. For some unknown reason the thermostat will disconnect itself and turn off the WiFi.
Connectivity issues
We’ve had three different routers. We’ve had different Internet companies, and it still won’t connect.
Dumb technology
Not smart. Doesn’t learn. Poor functionality.
Garbage
Basically useless unless you split your network which leaves your network vulnerable. They do that because they haven’t upgraded to match newer WiFi connections. Sadly I have six other devices that have similar restrictions that seem to function fine on my regular WiFi. Three cameras, my door latch, my doorbell, and my oven. EcoNet is a waste of money, and time trying to troubleshoot.

Nightmare
My Rheem water heater is terrible. Proven over and over that it is pure junk
App isn’t working
I replace the last app to this and it only work a few times and now it just keeps loading and doesn’t open.
10 years in
Finally lost an element about 8 years in. Ten years I lost a control board. 12 year warranty and both times they sent me a brand new part and offered to install it. I did it myself, but they would have. It’s brewing again as I type!! Very very good customer service!!
EcoNet App
Easy to use app. Very self intuitive.
Data harvesting and Login Issues
After being kicked off the app it forced me to reset my password. Every time I go to my password manager to get a new password and come back, it forces me to do password reset again. If I go to the password manager in advance and keep the password on the clipboard, it won’t let me paste it. After doing this cycle half a dozen times, I gave up and stopped trying to use a password manager. After inputting a manual password, the app insisted I needed to give it a phone number. When I tapped “later” it logged me out and rate limited me.
I’ve been troubleshooting issues with connectivity and history for the two years I’ve had the Rheem/Econet hardware and app. This is going in the trash. I’d rather put a Raspberry Pi on my wall than this.

Lacking
This lacks so many features on other thermostat apps. Can control jack with this thing.
Does not follow schedule
The schedule function does not work. It goes to the highest set temperature and stays there, even though it says that it is following the schedule. This app is useful only when I want to turn the water heater off when on vacation.
Never works
This is one of the worst app I have ever used. It never actually keeps a schedule and my hot water heater is always turning on when it should be in vacation mode.
