Programmable Wireless Plug in Thermostat Outlet, Electric Thermostat Controlled Outlet with Built-in Temperature Sensor Remote Control (White)

works great

I have purchased both of these versions. I started with the programmable version because I liked having the thermostat/controller next to where I sat and I was concerned about the apparent wattage limits on the wifi version . I am using it to control an electric fireplace insert. I plugged it into a plug in timer BN-LINK Heavy Duty Mechanical 24 Hour Timer Dual Outlet 3-Prong Accurate Indoor for Lamps Fans Christmas Lights White AC 1875W 1/2 HP, UL Listed. I had the programmable Hycency plugged into the timer and had the timer turn off at night and back on when I wanted the heater on in the afternoon. It worked fine for a year, but started unpairing at night when the timer was off. It usually would re-pair if I kept the thermostat near the switch but I was concerned about this malfunctioning and not turning the heater off at all. I was hesitant to buy the wifi version because reviewers had talked about it melting. I have a Kilowat device that measures wattage used by a device. My heaters measure at 1330 watts so I felt the wifi version was worth a try. After struggling with the programming as other reviewers have described (thus the 4 stars instead of 5), I have it working and it is not melting. I have two electric fireplace inserts and had bought a second programable device and it has failed to work as well because of unpairing. I have replaced it as well with the wifi version. Bottom line--do not expect the programmable one to work if it is plugged into a timer as it will lose its pairing when the circuit is off. Bad news--I have two programmable ones I cannot use or return because they are outside the returnable window. Good news, I am very happy with the wifi versions. Even though the probe is only 19 inches long, it represents the temperature on the other side of the room. I can also program 4 different temperatures during the day whereas with the programmable one, it was either off or on. Programming is very easy with it. Just remember that once you change the temperature on the first screen, you have turned off the week program and are in manual mode and you have to go to the settings screen to turn weekly programming back on. Also if you want to raise the temp by 1 degree in the room you need to go to the second screen and change the temp on the Week program screen. That way you do not change to manual mode. Update 2-26-2024 now 1 star. Not happy. One of these died after 4 months. It no longer turns on. Before it died, the temperature I set kept changing and I had to reset it every day. Even though I would set it and tell it to use the same settings every day. These are way too expensive to be so non-functional and unreliable. I bought Suraielec WiFi Pool Controller Timer for $52 and they do so much more than these for $48 and are totally reliable. Much more complex wiring. I also use Smart Plugs That Work with Alexa, Smart Life Wi-Fi Outlet Compatible with Alexa that are $12.99 for a pair. They allow you to turn things off and on multiple times per day. No thermostat however. I guess it costs $35 to add a thermostat to something so simple. Really? However, I cannot find any plug-in thermostat that looks suitable for what I want-- turning an electric fireplace off and on to a set temperature at different times per day. They melt, or start on fire, or are just unreliable and/or short lived.

At first I wanted an outlet that had the thermometer built in with no remote but I must say it’s very convenient to be able to mount the remote on the wall since the temperature near the floor and near the ceiling can have as much as a 5-10 degree F difference. I actually really like that you set heat or cool, and C or F when the remote first comes on and then you remove the batteries if you need to change it because that means the remote is very simple and has only temp control buttons once it’s set up. When you change the temperature if you go above/below the temp you set it will instantly turn the outlet on. It has a high wattage rating which is great because heaters and AC units both use a lot of electricity. It seems really high quality. The things I would improve are: Including a mounting screw in the box Redesigning the back so adhesive can be used instead of a screw Making the LED light dimmer and Switching the temp control buttons so minus is left and + is right.

I got this to control the window AC in my bedroom, instead of just having it on a smart outlet that I could only turn on/off manually. My Window AC is an older one without thermostat control besides a primitive dial with unknown temperatures, and I wanted to be able to set an actual degrees temp. This little WiFi Thermostat does just that. While I've searched in the past for a thermostat outlet, this is the first time I actually found what I wanted, so I bought it immediately. 1. Pairing the device to the Smart Life app was pretty easy. This seems to have some sort of UWB or similar because unlike other smart devices I've used, where I have to manually pick through the list of supported devices until I found the right one, once I enabled Access Nearby Devices in the app, the thermostat popped right up and was available to pair. It went smoothly and I didn't encounter any issues. Note that you must use a 2.4GHz WiFi when you configure it as it seems that this device does not support 5GHz. 2. The thermocouple/sensor cable should be a lot longer. The included one is like a foot long, and unless you have an outlet way high up on your wall, you're going to be putting the thermostat basically at ground level and the included cable length will not allow you to bring the sensor up to a reasonable "person level" height to measure from. I purchased a 6ft 2.5mm headphone jack extension (commonly used for dash cams and security cams) to extend it and it worked fine now with much better reach. I think one should be included in the package for the thermostat as I think most people will want the cable to be longer. 3. The unit defaults to degrees Celsius. Luckily it's fairly easy to change to Fahrenheit, just go into the Smart Life app, tap the device, go to settings, and change the unit. Everything updates from there, in both the Smart Life app and in Google Home. 4. I have not yet messed with the weekly scheduling feature, though I may at some point. So as of now I can't say how well this feature works.

Kudos to the Manufacturer on this product. I am using in a Tiny Home with an 800 watt heater and the outlet with heater turns on one degree below target and shuts off one degree above. Testing with two other thermostats and this sensor is close to perfect. The technology to create something that is WiFi remote with a tempature sensor and all? (Well Done)

température contrôlée à +ou- 1 degré F ou C donc mieux d'utiliser en degré F. Donc si target 70 degré F part à 69 et arrëte à 71.donc 2 degré de différence serait mieux avec +ou- 0.5 degré comme tout bon thermostat électronique. Quand même précis, réaction un peu lente je trouve.
