The app is very easy to use making controlling our heating from my iPhone or MacBook a doddle. No problems with connectivity despite our boiler being sited in the loft. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, reliable, saves money *2024-06-10* I’ve had my Salus IT500 for over 10 years since 2013. It has been consistently reliable. I can switch between automatic to manual to preset settings. If you have a problem it’s usually because the batteries (which last for ages) in the remote thermostat need replaced or the wall receiver is off. Otherwise it’s problem free and easy to use the app on my iPhone. It’s a cost saving value for money product. ### 4/5 — iT500 App *2023-11-14* Had my heating and app installed 4 years ago. Had a new temp. Controller 2 years ago. I’m now having problems with the firmware update 11.4. My iPad and iphone are supposedly not compatible anymore. My mobile is listed as ok to use the app, however the update runs and the update is not happening. Had no other problems I’ve been happy with things in general. ### 1/5 — Rubbish. *2022-12-10* App always lets you down. Often, and when you need it to work the most, it’s offline meaning you can’t turn the heating on remotely. At those times the schedule appears to save but closing then reopening shows that any changes weren’t saved. And being out and turning the heating on is hit and miss as the app will show the boiler is on only to arrive at a cold house. Even when it does work the schedule options are risible. No delete option for individual timings so you end up with 6 or 7 “off” settings… No updates to app in a year? And the thermostat isn’t accurate to the point where we’ve had to put it in the fridge to trigger the heating to come on. Rubbish. Hive next year. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t reload *2022-03-31* Recently upgraded to this new app, been using the old one for years, not that flexible but no operational issues either. This new app, although improved in many ways, has one glaring issue, it never reloads! When I go back into the app, it displays the temp from when it was last opened and not the current temp as displayed on the room stat. To remedy this I need to close the app down and then re-open it, EVERY SINGLE TIME, it’s so frustrating, please fix it! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2022-02-18* I’ve had this for a few years now and in the main it works fine. I find if I adjust heating from app, turn up/down, switch off etc, then close the app, it does not seem to do what is requested. I therefore leave the app open in the background and it seems to work fine like that. There’s a few times it has played up but in the main I’m happy with it. ### 1/5 — Solution does not work *2021-11-23* Device unreachable from external network! Remote access only works when you’re in same LAN with the module. Whole solution is now useless. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2021-02-26* It’s good for when you’re out of the house & want the heating put on for you getting home. Other times it’s a nightmare. Today for example it wouldn’t knock the heating off. It kept switching it back on no matter how many times I checked it was off. The heating has been on constantly for 4 hours. 😤 there hasn’t been an update for the app in over 4 years & the developers don’t seem interested in fixing any glitches or updating the software. ### 1/5 — Buy a different boiler control. *2020-10-25* This just reviews the app, which is like the physical control itself - not very good. The app does sometimes allow me to turn the boiler on and off, and to set a basic schedule at the cost of some irritation. I asked for a smart thermostat, I didn’t realise that my gas engineer was so cheap as to install something as lacking in functionality as this. I’m not doing business with him again. UPDATE! I though I hated this piece of crap until today, when it refused to let me even attempt to control my boiler unless I updated firmware but refused to let me do so, on the grounds that the device had 'insufficient battery'. I've replaced the battery but the thing is still refusing to work. Salus are bums selling rubbish, of which this app is a crappy example. ### 5/5 — Very pleased with it.. *2020-10-07* Now using a second iT500 at another site and very pleased with it. Have received good support from tech support team when enquiring about which thermostat to use for my particular application. Seems that they have got their act together well since some of the adverse comments from several years ago. Also like the app which feels very intuitive. Would buy another one ## Frequently asked questions about iT500 Plus ### What devices is iT500 Plus compatible with? iT500 Plus supports iPhone 4 and higher, and iPod devices running iOS 7+.
