Horrific nightmare

Do not waste your money to upgrade your heating and air conditioning to this system, absolutely a nightmare! Not only is the units themselves difficult to connect to your home, but this software and app are completely useless for anything. There is zero smart controls with this app! Nothing works with this app other than on or off. The schedules constantly change on there own, you can’t alter or adjust. If you attempt to control your home thermostat you have to have heat and air conditioning on at the same time (seriously who runs both ever during the year). You are constantly fighting and changing the times. It’s more of a hassle then smart technology. THEN the units and software to your home are atrocious, if you have a home build within the last 20 years. Don’t do it! Read all these negative reviews and run. There is NOTHING smart nor positive about this system. HUGE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!

Worst app I’ve ever used

It doesn’t work, it’s overly invasive, it’s a data capturing machine for ruud and will make owning a ruud unit a nightmare. They haven’t updated it for seven months which tells you what you need to know. It prompts to verify my phone number after I verified email and now I can’t log in or use Wi-Fi to connect to my unit. Do not buy ruud appliances or you’ll be stuck with their garbage controls.

Works maybe 10% of the time

Probably the worst app I’ve ever used. It displays the incorrect current temp, will let me think I’m changing the temp but it actually doesn’t “take”, and is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. Switching from wifi to data doesn’t help. Frustrating.

Garbage app

This app is pure garbage. It will randomly just not connect to your system, and half the time won’t apply the change you made to the temperature or any other system setting. The developer clearly cares nothing about whether this app actually functions properly as it has been this way for years.

Terrible App

My HVAC company installed a new Ruud furnace/ac and this Econet thermostat. They suggested the app but I find it’s functions are very limited and unlike most device apps it’s much easier to work from the device (thermostat) itself. Ruud should get some tech folks to redesign/upgrade this terrible/weak app!
