July A/C 4+

A really easy to use app that compliments this beautiful A/C. Really helpful to use as I come home to make sure my apt. is nice and cool when I get home.

The July a/c app is ok for a first version as it works and is simple to set up and use for basic functions. But there are a lot of little issues that need ironing out: A confusing “timer” experience that has a lot of options but I’m not clear what I’m actually setting, I’m not sure what the “sleep” or “eco” modes do as it simply keeps the fan speed on whatever speed you set it to, and the Google Assistant integration seems broken.

The hardware is a bit rough as well as it only works with thick, traditional, window frames usually found in older homes. Wish they had a “troubleshooting” section for installation anywhere on their site, app, or printed manual as we ran into a few issues and had to get creative. The support team is calling me tomorrow to help with the install.

For a first version product, it works.

The app NEEDS dark mode. Especially when changing the settings/temp late at night I get blinded by the bright white backdrop.

Also, HomeKit integration would’ve been nice. Yes, google and Alexa are great, but HomeKit is key for iOS users. Anyways, just my thought!

The app should do more too…like maybe check the weather intelligently and shut your ac off if it’s too cold at night, or turn it on if it’s too hot. Idk. The whole July system just seems like it’s lacking a lot of smart features that I wish were there. Instead I just have a very expensive smart app remote for my ac 🥱🥱
