Works but bugs hold it back
Just upgraded 3 Ice Air wall units to Habitat thermostats with WiFi.
The good: this app is elegant, intuitive and easy to use.
The bad: there’s a bug that does not allow you to schedule Saturday and Sunday on daily mode. Monday through Friday saves the temperature and time correctly but not on Sat / Sun.
Please fix this issue. Thank you.

Works but very slow
The app performs the desired functions but often takes 10-15 seconds to be ready (with 4 thermostats at my location) making it a poor remote. Not uncommon for you to find yourself logged out etc. subscription based is fine but would have expected a reasonable free initial period. Promised speed improvements have not appeared to date.

Undisclosed fee
$12.99 a year to manage the thermostats I already own. No thank you! And that should be disclosed upfront… this is not a “free” app.
Works great
I’m not big on reviews but honestly it’s one of the best things I've ever purchased for my home , it works great. I travel a lot because of my job and now l can control and monitor all of my apartments units when I'm away.
The system alert notifications are excellent and alerted me and my A/C service company when one of my A/C units malfunctioned.

Easy to use and great monitoring
We have their thermostats controlling 4 of our offices and the app gives us complete control and visibility over all the units. Big plus feature for us is the systems malfunction notifications and alerts that can be tied into our equipment service contractor.
Simple and Smart
Very straightforward and very simple to use , the best feature is the system malfunction alerts. We were alerted that one of our system’s unit had a water leak and it saved us thousands on a repair to our floors.
Slow and expensive
How dare these people charge $12 a year after you’ve already paid for your smart thermostat. And even after you pay the app is sluggish and every time you open it, takes up to 12 seconds to even know the status of the AC. Same when you try to operate it through Alexa / Google Home. Huge delay on every single command. Disgraceful that they would charge for a dysfunctional app like this.

Great Product
This is one of the best smart automation products out there to control your HVAC appliances. I use Habitat with my ICE AIR PTACS to remotely control via an app.
The only issue is that their API is completely closed even though the underlying hardware is zigbee based so you have to use their which has an annual fee. It would be nice if they opened up their API to allow for customized automation such as proximity sensors.

Happy With It
My friend recommended this thermostat. Found out that it can be controlled with this app. Been really happy with it, nice that it is so responsive.
Works Well
I don’t usually write a review, but this system is pretty simple to understand and works well even if you’re not a big tech person. It’s very clear and easy to use.
Easy to use
Got a habitat for my bedroom, works great and easy to use. It’s nice to pre chill my bedroom when coming home from work.
10/10 Rating!
Amazing, easy to use software. Super easy interface that anyone can follow. HUGE step up from my Nest. Will never go back!!!!!!
Clean and Simple
Works well and is very easy to understand, it has a clean and simple functionality that is very straightforward. The app controls 4 units in our apartment and has made a big in our ability to save on electric cost.
Good but not great
App latency is annoying but initializing time upon opening and setting changes
No support for Zigbee temperature sensors despite marketing literature touting this feature and calling it easy and app settings inferring this possible.
Built in temperature sensor is insufficient.
No performance history available through the app
ZERO documentation on the available setting options.
Habitat DOES NOT have an API available for owners who are programmers who would be able to ameliorate the shortcomings with a charged annual fee to boot. Weird flex.

Great
The app work great, glad I can control my air conditioners from my office. Would recommend to my friends.
Love it
We updated our air conditioner in our bedroom and living room with this thermostat app. It’s game changing, it notified me of a water leak in my living room and saved me $$$.
Really Works Well!
Controls and monitors over 5 units. It keeps us informed if there are any problems; which is great because we travel so frequently.
Peace of mind
Very simple to use and the water alert and system malfunction notifications gives us peace of mind when we are away. We also love that our installer is now tied into our equipments functions and alerted, if there is a system malfunction.
Error 6777001
Cannot get into the app because it gives me a subscription error immediately on my iPhone 13.
Game Changer
We updated our apartment’s a/c equipment and now have complete remote access and 24 hour monitoring on our systems. The app is also very simple to use and understand , it’s been a real game changer is our home.
