Pebble Air 4+

Recent update made things worse

App has been Awesome up till recent update which makes it blimmen hard to set timers via app. Tiny scroll bars and overrides with current time (not the time you were editing from). Poor UI in my opinion.
Maybe they should ask users what works for them???

Works well although the auto on/off is a little confusing

Works well, although the auto schedule is a little confusing but works well. Highly reliable and recommended. There is a small fee after the first couple of years to maintain the server connection between the controller and the remote (works like this = setting on your phone/tablet update a remote server to the settings you would like. The Pebble reads the server very regularly (changes you make happen in seconds) and sends the infrared command to the AirConditioner. We use it in our house for scheduling. Also remotely checks current state and temperature. We have another site that we remotely check to see if it’s been left on accidentally and turn off as required. Also to enable the A/C before we are going there to get it warm on arrival.

Glad you like the product.

It does the job but costs more than you think

After a while there's a fee for using this app. Unfortunately if you are reading this it's probably too late since you have likely bought a Pebble wifi heat pump controller. I was not clear about the charge when I bought and it's extremely disappointing.

In response to the manufacturer's response.

Yes you make no secret of it but it does mean that in effect people are not buying this product they are renting it. People need to be clear about that before they buy. It's not as if you can do anything with the hardware when the licence runs out! You really don't care much about your customers. Why not give the option to buy a permanent licence. You could even charge more if you like gouging your customers

It is on our website and on our packaging, we make no secret of this.
