Ratings and Reviews
Could be improved
The app does what it needs to - I can control the heating from my phone.
However a lot of the time when you change the temperature, two seconds later it flips back as the change hasn’t taken effect. So you’ll turn it down to go to bed and not realise it’s still on. This should be fixed ideally by ensuring the correct temperature is set even when the app has been closed via a background process, without requiring you to reset the temperature as many times as it takes for the controller to receive the change.
Also there’s no home/siri integration.
poor
First time away from home trying to control the heating this evening and I get “Socket error” when trying to change the mode. That’s not a very user friendly, helpful or descriptive error is it? What’s worse is temperature changes don’t actually take affect, but they appear to. The activity log shows the temperature change as “temperature error” so it clearly didn’t successfully send the command to the boiler but it would be impossible to tell from the UI since the temperature change looks to take effect, there’s no immediate alert. Even the “on/off” animation is clearly written to be purely client side and not an actual indication that the boiler has received instruction to turn on and is actually on.
At least when the mode change errors I’m told with an alert even if it’s a completely non user-friendly error message. Your temperature change error doesn’t even alert.
What exception encompasses a socket error? Why can’t you give me instructions on what might fix it? I tried the obviously like changing network etc, does my device need to restart? Maybe my device should be capable of auto restarting if it can’t reach out to something like 8.8.8.8 or whatever…
ember GW03
After days of research we decided to go the WiFi route. initially I purchased the GW01, thinking it would work, I had to email Ember because it wouldn’t connect and I was told I needed the GW03, happy days it was a lot less money.
Initial connection using the app wasn’t working too well. So again I contacted Ember. I had the connection sorted in minutes. The staff couldn’t be and more helpful, I was even sent videos showing how it should be set up. The Heating works how it should. Saving money and energy already. Would I recommend Ember. Yes, definitely
