Amana Home 4+

Simple and efficient

This app has been great. It was easy to link to my stat, extremely easy to use and has so nice features. What I like most is someone like my wife that only cares about the temperature enjoys the simplicity and ease of use while it still boasts several high tech features that I can take advantage of.

Geofence feature has a fatal flaw

I have downloaded and installed the Amana Home app to my iPhone and to my wife's as well. But it does not appear that it is possible to set up a separate Amana Home account for my wife with her own email and connect to our thermostat. As a result in order to control the Amana HVAC with her iPhone, she must log in with my credentials.

If I have the geofence feature turned on and I leave the house to run to the store (or worse if I leave on an extended trip) then the geofence detects that I am away and turns the HVAC to AWAY. If my wife remains at home, obviously she needs the HVAC to remain in the At Home setting. This is not a very smart app.

Please fix this app to detect when multiple household members are away and only switch to AWAY when all household members are detected outside of the geofence range.

If I am missing something here, then please update your app’s documentation to state clearly how this situation can be avoided and resolved. I am an app developer myself so I think I know where to look for this kind of thing.

Overall a good app

Overall I’m very happy with this app. I like that the interface is consistent with the physical interface on the thermostat itself. It seems to support the ability to control everything you could do locally.

I would like to see the ability to share access to the account without having to provide the username/password to other family members. I do like that it supports Face ID though.
