DOES NOT WORK with Senville Smart Control Kit
Not wanting to install the Amazon Alexa app, I naively ASSUMED that Senville's "Smart Control Kit" would work with Senville's App. IT DOES NOT. But STUPIDLY, the instructions from the app to put the unit into AP mode APPEAR to work, displaying "AP" on the split's display. It just doesn't provide a WiFi access point like it is supposed to, DESPITE showing AP on the mini split's display, along with a WiFi icon.

MAJ = Lost access
Mise à jour qui optimise l’expérience utilisateur tellement que je n’ai plus accès à mon appareil maintenant 🤬
Wifi selection doesn’t work
Tapping the field to select your wifi opens an app selector page. It’s not possible to choose a wifi network.
Poorly written app.
Network Discovery doesn’t seem to work (ffs just use nmap), manual device connection requires your network pwd? (It should not).
I’d not allow my team to publish this… you shouldn’t either.

Needs correct iOS USB adapter, Alexa is poor substitute
*2 types* of USB Wifi adapters! Good app, but WON’T WORK if you have the Alexa-enabled USB dongle. You need the other, nearly identical $80 USB module to use the Apple app from Senville.
SENVILLE & SELLERS SHOULD *TELL YOU* THIS BEFOREHAND. Alexa app control is inferior to Senville app control.
Senville iOS app has *all* the functions of their standard IR room remote (included w/ each indoor unit). The Alexa app shows less than half of these control features.
[Previous review before learning this on my own: Big disappointment with app for new Aura model mini split system.
Our similar old Carrier mini split app worked great.
The Senville app fails to connect by any of their suggested ways. Two of us tried with 2 iPhone 14’s in 2 setting up 2G Wi-Fi correctly and set wall air handlers in AP discoverable mode.
Seems like a great mini split system & IR remotes, but useless smartphone app.
The indoor air handlers *DO* connect properly using our Amazon Alexa, but that has big limitations compared to controls you are supposed to get with a Senville app. ]
(No, trying to use an app from Midea, does not work either.)
