Homeowner

Great App, easy to navigate. Simple control of my UFH, upstairs radiators and hot water.

Simple, quick, great tech support

Such a brilliant service from EPH. The APP is easy to navigate and simple to use.
When I have needed help, technical are friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you.

Great Product

Easy to set up and very user friendly app, have recommended to friends and neighbours on a number of occasions

Accessibility

As a blind user, I love this system. I have it set up with Alexa which makes life easier. The app does need to be updated so that all buttons are tagged properly so that they read with VoiceOver.
I received an email to say that there will be an update to resolve the issues with the new Alexa plus?? Hope this happens soon.

Brilliant solution

I have a Tado X system for my radiators. Unfortunately Tado only provide basic On/Off switching for hot water so last year I bought the EPH-HW-OT programmer and wireless thermostat for my cylinder. Tado still turns it on and off once a day but EPH provides granular control and allows me to see and set temperatures easily. Even before adding the Gateway EPH support was brilliant. I just added the GW04 gateway (nervous as GW03 is specified) and installed the app. Again with amazing support to set the wireless thermostat transmitter in hub mode and I was quickly up and running. I expected to just monitor temperatures but I can actually do all the programming I need in the app. I would give 6 stars if I could.

Tech support

Excellent technical support provided by Terry - extremely helpful and patient when sorting out my technical issue.

DOES’NT WORK OUTSIDE HOME TIME ZONE

Major design flaw in the app that must be addressed immediately. The app is rendered useless outside home time zone. If you are in a different time zone…eg: home in IRL, you’re in the US…you can’t use any function on the app. No boost, no changing times, nothing!!! FRUSTRATING!!!

Andrew

I recommend not only the product but the exemplary customer support team who are amazingly helpful and will walk you through any questions or issues you need resolving. Everyone you deal with is extremely knowledgable and helpful.

Reconnecting to app

Due to user error i lost connection between my controller and the app. After much pulling out of hair i rang NPH and got a very helpful support person who talked me through the entire process in very easy steps. Now working again. Overall excellent kit we have had the system for about 6 months and are very pleased. Would definitely recommend the kit and the app.

Poor

Connected everything via instructions only works once or twice then nothing wish I would of bought hive

Brilliantly Simple to setup and use :)

Wonderful App for a brilliant System, of all the systems I’ve used, this App and the EPH controls seem to work great together. Thanks for making this Great little utility :)

Issues with all

Why is my app showing temps like 20.8 instead of 21 or 20.5?

Tx, C

Not good enough

For such simple functions that this app has to carry out, it was incredibly poor. The owners of the app need to invest in improving it. It can take multiple attempts to actually make changes take effect and often it just randomly restores old settings. Extremely frustrating - these glitches have negative environmental impacts (running heat or water unintentionally) and costs users money.
I would not recommend.

Good system, irritating problem

The system itself works well but as already highlighted and not fixed, you can adjust the temperature in app but it can take several attempts for the change to take effect. Change the temperature to a new value then seconds later it usually reverts back to the original setting. Annoying if it looks to have worked but then the heating is on all night because it’s reverted.

Unexpectedly stopped working

App suddenly stopped working and connecting to my heating and I can no longer control my heating . No one seems to be able to help

Fantastic support

Not quite as intuitive as some systems but much easier & less expensive to retro fit to my heating system than putting in a whole new control system.

The phone support is fantastic…Greg is a legend! Initial support for my ineptitude and then when there was an issue with my network…thank you!

Great support

I love this app for my heating. Occasionally I need a bit of help to reconnect thermostats to the programmer etc but they could not be more responsive or helpful esp Patrick 🙌🏻
