### 2/5 — Too basic

*2026-08-15, version 3.47.2*

For an expensive piece of kit like our Urura Sarara, this app adds nothing beside being able to turn the AC on/off remotely. 
It doesn’t even track power usage, which is bonkers as it is shown on the remote.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support countdown timers

*2026-08-15, version 3.47.2*

The is somehow not intuitive to use, especially on schedule rule, e.g. doesn’t support countdown timers. It has complex weekly schedule that I gave up.
Other issues:
1. The energy consumption showed is way below the real usage
2. It does not sync with remote control (switch on by remote and off by app)
3. Current settings are not sync correctly on multiple users

### 2/5 — Hit and Miss Operation

*2026-08-13*

The app worked beautifully in the past to control our wall mounted AC units. Recently though, the on/off control is a hit and miss affair. The app does not respond in real-time and sometimes shows the opposite status and you end up making the same command again. 

Wifi is good and this happens against two units in different locations. Its a recent problem with the app.

Update: seems like the hit and miss is a coding error. When you have multiple controls such as remote control handset and mobile app. Seems like the full command set is sent with each individual adjustment and this is not reflected in the other controls. There should be a mechanism which instantly pulls the current settings to the app and remote controls so all are in sync no matter which is used.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-08-12, version 3.47.2*

This is the most complicated set up process I have ever come across.  One unit eventually connected after a great deal of time and messing about. But the second unit did not connect at all, despite attempting both connection methods of WPS and manual key numbers. Can only use the app to  remotely manage   One AC unit out of 3!: next to useless.  Hope this is not a reflection of the equipment.

### 3/5 — Very confusing

*2026-08-11, version 3.47.2*

Despite tagline of always in control, the app is not clear and simple to use. Not flexible enough to be able to meet needs. Despite using holiday mode, seems to use too much energy to heat water when not at home for several weeks

### 5/5 — Simply effective

*2026-08-06, version 3.47.2*

Wonderful app. Simple to understand and providing so much more than a basic remote.

### 5/5 — Perfekte Steuerung

*2026-08-04*

lässt sich schnell und einfach einrichten, ist übersichtlich und alle notwendigen Funktionen lassen sich schnell bedienen.

### 4/5 — WiFi misery

*2026-07-29, version 3.47.2*

MMI connectivity is a misery. Does not support WPK3

### 4/5 — Still nugs

*2026-07-23, version 3.47.2*

Keeps turning on powerful mode on my AC units when I swipe up or close the app.
Updating the temperature takes a while to refresh and doesn't display immediately.
Then it will refresh to what you actually set the temperature to.
Seems weirdly implemented!

### 3/5 — Bonne télécommande, mais une expérience logicielle décevante

*2026-07-23*

J’utilise l’application Daikin Onecta au quotidien. Elle remplit correctement son rôle principal de télécommande à distance : il est facile d’allumer ou d’éteindre son installation et de modifier les principaux réglages.

En revanche, plusieurs points sont vraiment perfectibles. Le plus gênant est que la modification de la température de consigne est parfois buguée : il faut souvent changer la valeur plusieurs fois avant qu’elle soit réellement prise en compte par l’installation.

Le suivi de la consommation est également limité. Il est possible de consulter les données de l’année précédente, mais il est impossible de comparer sa consommation avec plusieurs années antérieures. C’est dommage pour suivre l’évolution de ses performances énergétiques. (Daikin)

Enfin, le plus gros défaut à mes yeux est l’absence d’intégration officielle avec Home Assistant. Les possibilités de programmation de l’application sont assez rigides et limitées, alors qu’une compatibilité native avec Home Assistant offrirait des automatisations bien plus puissantes, flexibles et adaptées aux besoins des utilisateurs. Aujourd’hui, Daikin met surtout en avant l’intégration avec Alexa et Google Home, mais pas avec Home Assistant. (Daikin)

En résumé : une application pratique pour le contrôle à distance, mais qui mériterait d’être plus fiable, plus riche pour le suivi énergétique et surtout ouverte aux solutions domotiques modernes.
