Sensibo 4+

Almost perfect

The great: the promise of a energy saving product...it works if it works at least most times
The good: ability to link to major smart voice assistance services, remotely control aircon outside of home, smart sensors (climate react)to turn on or off at certain conditions, scheduler, etc
The not so good: the geofencing is a hit or miss, sometimes it doesn’t detect that I’m out of the home to turn off. Will also be good if the climate react has day and night settings as it’s much warmer in the day and cooler at night in certain places so one setting doesn’t suit both day and night.

Developer Response ,

We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

Please contact the support team directly regarding the geofence and they will be able to look into this further.

Temperature scroll button in app rarely works.

TLDR: Do not purchase this product as the developer never addresses issues.

Temperature scroll button in app rarely works. The moment the screen scrolls a bit, all it does when you touch the temperature control is that it scrolls somemore and the temperature knob is rendered useless. You have to wait a few seconds just to adjust the temperature. It has been years and they haven’t resolved this and all the developer does is ask me to contact them but nothing is done. Avoid this app and product. Also, the developer will pin it down to your phone issue instead of taking ownership for flaws in their app. I’m using an iPhone Pro Max 15.

Edit: this review was posted on 6 June 24. It is now 9 months later on the 19 Feb 2025. The problem stilll exists and as expected, the developer only gives lip service when they say they will look into it.

Update: It is 11 May 2025 now and still nothing is done. Developer will reply again to this review saying something will be done or to email them but nothing will be done. They’ve alluded to “Touch accomodations” or “Reduce motion” being selected but neither are. Almost 1 year and counting for a fix. They could have revamped the UI but refuse to and expect the user to accommodate to their original flawed design.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback and for detailing your experience. We're sorry to hear about the frustration with the temperature control. While we understand your concerns, we'd still like to help resolve this. Please get in touch with us at support@sensibo.com so we can gather more details and continue to investigate this for you. In the meantime, we recommend updating to the latest app version and checking if "Reduce Motion" or "Touch Accommodations" are enabled in your iPhone's Accessibility settings, as these may impact interaction with certain UI elements. We appreciate your patience and hope to make things right.

Set it and forget it. Magic!

I had no idea this was a thing. We’d been in Singapore for over a year and had to keep turning out ac on and off manually dozens of times a day. Plus, the ac would keep cooling the flat until it was way past a comfortable temperature. Now, we set the temperature range and leave it be. Our flat is always the right temperature.

It would be nice if there was an iOS widget and a way to create multiple “experiences” per room, so I could have a setting for when I’m working out and then one for the rest of the day. Otherwise this was well worth the money.
