Hi, nice video 👍🏻 I have one unit and I do not understand how the schedule works (heating mode): All the entries are for ON and it is not possible to make an entry for OFF. Then, there is always a by default entry for ON at 20°C and at 00:00h and it is impossible to delete. I just do not see the logic here. Could anyone help please? Thanks
I took a second look, I might understand the design behind it. So the schedule covers the entire day hence the 00:00 is not moveable. And the temperature set at the last point lasts until 23:59. And there is no OFF, you can turn off by setting the setpoint very low. For example if you only want to heat from 06:00 to 08:00 and 16:00 to 22:00, you start 00:00 set to 5C, 06:00: 20C, 08:00: 5C, 16:00: 20C, 22:00: 5C. I hope you get it now.
@csongorvarga Yes, thanks very much. It now makes more sense but I still think they should have applied a three command rule: ON - Temp - OFF. IMHO would have been more logical and easier to settle 👍
Great detail in your video but I have one question that I'm not sure that you mentioned. If the unit is unplugged for any period of time will it remember any schedules that were programmed into it? Does it sync with the app when it is plugged back in? We are thinking of using it in my wife's coffee van, to power a heater during the winter when it is hooked up at home, to prevent freezing pipes etc. So when the van is unplugged to drive to and from home/job site the unit will have no power to it...........make sense?
Thanks for the comment. Of course it makes sense. I cannot say for sure where this is all stored, but my device was unplugged for months now. Now I plugged it back on and it still remembered the target temperature used last time, and the schedules in the app are same as before. I think the schedules are synced to the machine on change, and probably also synced to the cloud. I did the following quick test: changed the schedule and checked that it is updated after rougly 10 sec on the device (was already in Schedule mode). Next I unplugged the device and the app did not let me change the schedule. So it looks like it was trying to update the schedule on the device after saving the changes on the phone. And the phone did not let me change the schedule like this. I plugged the device back and just a few seconds after the power-up it was in the correct mode and temperature setting. It was too quick for the device to connect to wifi and fetch the details from the cloud. Therefore I think all the information on the schedules and last mode was stored on the device and retained during power-off. I only did a few minute power-off, but most probably the devices saves the data in long term memory, therefore the duration of the power-off should not matter. But this also means that the device is able to operate using the last settings even if powered on offline.
@csongorvarga Wow, what a comprehensive and detailed response......thank you very much for putting in the effort and giving me the confidence to order a unit.....which i have just done. Thanks again and keep up the great work 👍🏼
Can this thermostat control a fan that turns on when the temperature is below 45F or when the temperature is above 85F, and turn off in between these temperatures? This is the inverse of what most heating and cooling thermostatic controllers do.
hallo, ich hab ein Problem, bei mir wird oben "AL" angezeigt und ich weis nicht was das bedeutet!? was muss ich tun.. leider ist in der Beschreibung nichts herauslesbar.🤔

Im using this for my crested geckos vivarium to keep his home at the correct temperature. Seems to be working great up to now highly recommend this.
Thanks for your detailed video!

No, it this also works like all other thermostats do.
@@csongorvargaThank you!

What does the plug if he looses Wifi conection? Does he works offline also?
I have not tested it, but if you set up the device and not use the routines that are in the app, the device will follow those even if it is offline.
Can you add the device using qr code?
You fail to explain the settings and how to change
I showed how you can change in the app. But I did not go into the details of how to use the buttons on the device, just briefly.
What type of thermostat is it? As in, PID, dimming, etc.?
