Embarrassingly Unreliable

After 6 months of owning a Rheem heat pump water heater, I have had adequate time to assess the EcoNet app that is used to control the water heater schedule and mode from my phone. Not only has the app been unreliable from the start, but its performance issues have worsened in recent months (as of Sept or Oct 2022).The app disconnects from my home network frequently. Previously is would disconnect every two weeks or so, and I would have to reconnect the heater— a frequent annoyance, but I tolerated it, thinking that version upgrades would improve the situation. Now, however, the app disconnects every single day, rendering the schedule feature completely useless. There are no known issues with my home wireless mesh network, and all other applications have been able to connect and operate to it without any problems. My conclusion is that this very buggy app has only become more reliable over time. The water heater itself is excellent and has saved a lot of energy, but unless Rheem gets its act together and makes a significant app improvement from the ground up, they will lose any competitive advantage they currently have as the app significantly limits the functionality of the heater.

Nice water heater. Setup instructions need work.

After trying over a dozen times to connect the hybrid heater to the WiFi/EcoNet app over several days I finally decided to call the help line listed in the app. Up until I called, the phone connected to the heater WiFi signal but went no further. It said “Module Connection Error. Please ensure your module is ready to connect.” All of my other connected devices went through a similar setup process and worked perfectly so I knew it wasn’t my router. The person who answered the phone was very nice and one of the first things he asked was whether or not I was using a VPN. I was. He told me to disconnect it and try the setup again. It worked perfectly. If you are using Norton VPN you can’t just toggle the “off” button otherwise it turns itself back on. You have to turn off the “connect on demand” button. This will prevent it turning back on during the setup process. Once the setup is complete you can turn your VPN back on. I’ll give 4 stars because the app is pretty good, but I’ll deduct 1 star because the setup instructions should mention the problem with VPN’s. Instead I had to call to get that information.

Buggy to the point of not functioning

I’m a contractor and install heat pump water heaters. This app is really terrible, and one of the main sources of complaints about $4,000+ installations. Why on earth doesn’t Rheem invest more in this, since it’s the “brains” of machines that cost over $2500? Not only is setting up a new water heater incredibly unintuitive, but when machines lose their internet connection (even for a few seconds) they can freak out and stop following their schedule, often resulting in machines being off when you want them on! The newest bug adds insult to injury: after updating the app last week, it now quits immediately after I try opening it on my iPhone 6plus. Sure, my phone is old, but few developers roll out new versions that actually cause crashes like that. Please at least check to see if your update is going to result in people no longer having access to their water heater settings. Is there any reason Rheem doesn’t just make a regular webportal as a backup?

Works well although a little confusing at first. It is not as user-friendly as it could be but it does the job. Some of the errors I have encountered include:1) No user manual anywhere. This should be an quick fix. I am available;-)2) On the First/Home page It shows a weather icon for a western state and I live in an eastern state. No way to change it.3) The Geo-fencing only allows for 10 miles. Need more miles. And still not clear on how it works or when it kicks in as there are no indicators on the First/Home screen.4) No indication if it is following a vacation schedule, geolocation, etc. The First/Home page should clearly tell you what mode you are in. It basically says Home or Away with no details.4) The “I’m Home/I’m Away” thing confused me especially because most of us name our Location as “Home”. Instead of the single button thing, have something clearer that includes a very clear status: I am at Home (checkbox), I am not at Home (checkbox) and you can only check one. AND tell us what will happen i.e. Home equals normal settings and Not Home equals 60 degrees, etc. It is just screen space.5) The Wifi setup instructions could be clearer. First and most importantly, State that this thing creates its own Wifi and you have to connect to it in order to then configure the actual house wifi connection. Those of us with a lot of IOT get it, otherwise, not so much.
