Heatmiser SmartStat

This app hasn’t been updated for over five years so it’s just a matter of time now before it stops working with the latest releases of iOS and then my Thermostat becomes obsolete and unable to control from outside my home….. 😏

It works as it should, does everything I need it to do. It could maybe do with a makeover to freshen it up.

While the app does what it should the design and screen size is years out of date. Obviously no more development from the company.

I have used this for a few years now. It allows me wide-ranging control of my holiday cottage heating from afar. I used to have problems with it dropping out on occasion which required the housekeeper to hard reset the stat (powering the boiler off) but I now believe that was a router issue - it hasn’t happened since moving to a better modern Wi-fi router. I would also like to see a history option and would like the functionality that has just been added to Neo for the stat to be included in Alexa routines.

Desperately needs an update. Very hit and miss if changes in the app are carried over to the heating system. No heating history. Very clunky app which just not good enough. Developers need to take a look at the Nest app which is superb.

I have problems with the stats losing connection every now and again which is frustrating. Can’t they be developed to reconnect if this happens? Also agree that some history/analysis would be useful. There are barely any updates which means you will lose out to competition eventually.

Could do with a revamp. I have 2 stats in my house., viewing them on my phone is like going to iPhone 4 formatting.. no sophistication about the app. But does the job. App is quite crude. Doesn’t have analytics.. and the Wake Leave Return Sleep is ridiculous, as comfort levels should be infinitely adjustable. And confusing if Stat is located in a bedroom zone.. as you don’t want Heating ON in the bedroom after WAKE up!! Cos your going to the living room/kitchen zone etc.

The app is pretty easy to use most of the time. But whenever the Smartstat device experiences a network interruption it goes offline until I can power it off and on. This is annoying enough when I’m in the house, but a real problem when I’m away as the app becomes useless. I have two devices which both behave the same way, so it appears to be a design fault.

It just works! I get steady efficient home heating, and money saved every time I go out. The app is flawless and worked with my existing wifi straight away. Very happy.
