Bullfrog Spas CloudControl 2‪™‬ 4+

Remaining connected really seems to be an issue. Even when everything else is online on my network, this unit says it cannot connect, or there may be a power outage. Also, wish I could set it to heat on a schedule. Otherwise, app is pretty straightforward.

This app is very buggy. It works, kind of. The temperature used to be available when you launched the app, now it’s not and you have to wait like 5 mins to see the temp and then if you want to change the temp you have to hit a hidden slider and raise or lower it and wait another few minutes for that to actually register before closing the app otherwise nothing happens and you’ll think you’re heating or cooling the spa although you won’t be and you’ll end up screwed one way or another. Also the lock feature doesn’t seem to work because the exterior light on the spa continues to come on 10 times per day even though the app says the spa is locked. Obviously it’s not. I wish they wound iron out those issues. They seem to me to be very basic issues that affect the primary purpose of having the app to begin with.

The app has a lot of potential but lacks in just about every area. No logging available which would be great to customize a schedule based on logged temperatures and run times for pumps. The notifications are basically useless because of the hours long delay between the fault and when the notification appears. Again, a lot of potential but could offer much more in way of utility. Simply adding a heater and pump status in a logging form could help customers dial in their efficiency and allow for a more controlled customer feel. The cost of the accessory coupled with the lack of programming, feels like bullfrog just did the bare minimum to be able to say they offer such a device without really investing much into it.
