Noritz Connect 4+

Decent as a start, still hoping for more.

Would be nice to see the ability to customize things a bit more, like changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius. Also would be nice see more than a weeks history of usage. Also some of the stats seem suspect, such as “plug in” and “burn time” moving in lockstep, when clearly the unit is not burning 100% of the time.

Hoping thing will improve with time!

A lame attempt at what could be really useful

I bought the top of the line Noritz tankless recirculating hot water heater, in part because this app had me believe they were delivering leading technology. This app hasn’t been updated for years and all you can actually do with it is adjust temperature and turn the unit off or on. My unit’s recirculating pump cycles on and off just about every minute 24/7, and the only way to stop it from the app is to turn it off, which then means no hot water.

You can change a setting using an obscure setting on the wired controller, to turn off the recirculating pump. That feature should be in the app. The app also should let you build a schedule for the recirculating pump, or have it run for x hours only after sensing hot water usage.

I hope they pull some budget together to upgrade this app.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback. We invite you to update to version 2.2 of the app where you can now schedule the recirculating pump to your desired schedule. You'll need to change the heater to ALWAYS OFF mode and then you'll be able to fully schedule from the app.

Fairly good stable app

I installed two of these Noritz Connect for my two Noritz water heaters 6 months ago. Setup is easy. WiFi connectivity, controls and monitoring and results are stable.
Was not be able to add two water heaters in the app. I had to use two different water heaters logins user ids to access each water heater. It was reported as a bug and hope it has been fixed.
It will be nice to have documentation or help or explanation of each item in app on what all the items represent such as burn in time, ignition time, average gas used etc. and how often the aggregation is done.
Usage data is basic and could be improved.
Total gas used and average gas used seem to be same.
Overall, controlling temperature is easy.
