Description
The Nobø Energy Control system provides you with complete, APP based control over heating in your household. It regulates heat to desired temperature for specified time periods, resulting in lower electricity usage without compromising your comfort.
Different areas in the house (zones) can be controlled individually through the app interface.
See www.nobo.no for more information.
Key features:
* Organises heaters and thermostats in ZONES (functional groups).
* Each zone has a Normal Weekly Program defined by the user, with four possible settings available (COMFORT, ECO, AWAY and OFF). The Normal Weekly Program runs automatically, saving electricity and money.
* System override at a single touch on APP, when short term changes are needed.
* Multiple users can operate the same system.
* COMFORT and ECO Temperatures can be set individually for each zone, depending on the type of system units. AWAY equals frost safe temperature 7°C.
* System units (heaters etc.) can be added and removed at any time.
* System units (heaters etc.) can be moved between zones.
* System units (heaters etc.), zones and weekly programs can be named and renamed.
* System capacity:
- 500 zones

Ratings and Reviews
Almost unusable
This app is very poorly put together, and really, really buggy (on iPhone at least).
To start with all the scheduling fonts are white on a near-white background.
Did they even test this?
Trying to program the settings is a nightmare through a sliding schedule program (per day) which has no way of adding more time ‘segments’ (eco or normal mode) than already exists in the default program. Ie. two of each.
If you slide the time bracket to midnight the slide adjustment suddenly disappears and you can’t get it back again unless you delete the schedule and start again.
For some reason sliding the start and end of each time bracket barely works also. You lift your finger off and for some reason it forgets where you left it 2/3rds of the time.
There is no gradual adjustment either.
I was expecting much smarter capabilities than even remotely capable in this app, and should have just paid an electrician to properly wire the Nobo panel circuits in to a smart thermostat like a Nest.
Terrible app. Doesn’t provide expected functionality
I bought the hub, the controllers and the app so that I would have better control of my heaters and be able to set and forget them. Not so.
The app is poorly designed and highly confusing. I had to rtfm to get my heaters setup.
Instead of giving you finite control of temperatures, they have these 3 arbitrary ‘modes’ and you can’t seem to change the temperature of Away from 7 degrees.
This means you can only set the system to have two different temperatures plus off or 7’.
Not enough when you’re wanting to use the system to save money and have other heaters with pre/post sleep settings.
It doesn’t work with Google or Alexa either which is a real shame.
At this stage, if you’re looking to invest in something configurable I’d keep looking, it’s expensive and just doesn’t have the functionality to back up the high price tag.
Not updated and no HomeKit support
This app has not been updated in a long time and doesn’t even resize correctly on current phones. There also zero support for HomeKit so unfortunately there’s no better alternative way to control the heaters.
You’re better off throwing out the hub and just using a HomeKit wall plug to turn the panels on and off entirely.
