I like being able to set a timer for it to come on at certain times and you can set as many as you want. Sometimes, between seasons, I like to take some moisture out of the air while sleeping. I’ll set a few timers to turn on “Dry” and another to turn off after about 10 minutes. Minor flaw: (Very minor) App says “Sunny” even at midnight rather than “Clear” but that’s no biggie. Also, if you unplug and remove your ac unit in winter, make sure you turn off the timers or you will get error messages all winter and the way to turn the timers off is when the unit is plugged in and connected to WiFi. Although there may be a way to turn off timers that I’m not aware of.

I was ready to admit defeat with the app as I followed the instructions from the manual but it didn’t work. I found a video online where you had to be in front of the unit to press the display button 6 times. Here is the most important thing, press the mode button after pressing display 6 times. Once I did that it set up straight away.I think my wife will love this app as our air conditioner is up high and my wife can’t reach the buttons. Thankfully we have a remote but having the app on our phones or iPads will be so much better.

Had no trouble setting it up with iPhone 12 Pro Max (Though it is not intuitive, non tech-savvy people may have issues)Chill Premier unit responds quickly.But WHY must I use the remote to turn off the rather bright display? That capability should be incorporated into this app. Also, Friedrich needs to bring back the website which allowed you to control your unit directly from your Mac or PC, or design a compatible app for desktops and laptops.

If you want to spend hours cursing and stressing then download this app and follow the manufacturers instructions. If you’d like to save yourself the agony then remember the most important thing, and the only way you will get it to work with Wi-Fi. After you press the display button six times ,press the mode button just once.It will take a few seconds but it will make a few beeps and start going into the search mode for your Wi-Fi. That is when you press next on your device where you have the app installed . With any luck it will be connected in about 10 seconds! The included remote control is horrible, often not working at all.The wifi is a necessity for me, otherwise it’s stand on a bed each time I need to make adjustments or to power it on or off. Shame on Friedrich!
