Top Pcmac Reviews

Didn’t even work...

By Triggered in Texas (Pcmac user)

This product doesn’t work. I was given this product from my energy company. I never worked up the nerve to try to put it together and so it stayed unopened in the box for a year or so but amidst this time of quarantine I decided to put it together. I started off plugging in it as the app instructed it blinks green. I thought that showed some promise so I plugged in the Ethernet cable into my router and the green light continued to blink. I decided to type in my hub ID and all I got for the next hour was... sorry we can’t find you HUB. Wow! I mean really?! I have 2 door sensors, 2 color changing light bulbs and an active plug that are just left to rot because the this app is crappy! I don’t know if it’s the app or the product, but a pointer to whoever runs this company your product is supposed to WORK!
Glitchy

By Sad about Grindr (Pcmac user)

Worked great at first but now the air and/or heat doesn't kick on when it's supposed to. For instance, I'll have set the temp to 72 for the air con. I'll notice that it feels warm. I check the app and it'll indicate the temp at a degree or two higher, but no air. The air will THEN kick on, as if opening the app triggered it to finally work. Then I'll feel the air con but it won't be indicated within the app. Not good when setting a temperature doesn't actually work. This is a recurring problem and I only decided to write a review after it'd been going on for over a month now. Sadly, I feel like perhaps I should have spent a bit more for another more popular brand that was recommended to me...
Apple Watch App needs some improvement

By Devin Peters (Pcmac user)

I love this app. Everything is so easy to set up and even my dad likes it and he hates technology. The app is user friendly and easy to use. Just one thing, I think you should make some improvement to the Apple Watch app because some of the data that it gives you, isn’t accurate. That’s only like 40% of the time. But the controls work perfectly fine. I’m giving you guys 5 stars everyday.
Silly issues easily modified through software

By dnelson763 (Pcmac user)

this app switches time for no reason with no user end opportunity to modify time. Interface in software is non intuitive with heat pump settings not explained. Customer service for the most part is responsive. this app needs to rewrite the heat pump section of the software/manual and give the user more options like changing the time and date, login information. Personal information is required which seems intrusive.
