eFire-CONTROLLER

Like others, our new Luxuria fireplace requires both the remote and the app to use all functions. If I turn on the fireplace with the app, I cannot use the multicolor LED’s. I have to turn on the fireplace with the remote to use the LED’s but then that’s the only thing I can control with the app because the ‘remote is in use’ so it has priority over the app. My suggestion would be to do away with the remote altogether, it’s costly and allows only limited functionality.

The app is crazy cool and the preferred way to operate the fireplace because I can’t figure out the remote that comes with it. Small note: the initial password is 0000. Was hard for me to find that in the docs. Edit: as other reviewer said, you can’t have multiple devices connected at the same time. Also would really love to find a way to connect to HomeKit so I can add it to my scenes and home automation.

Works great and is really cool, just wish all of us could take advantage of it - only one Bluetooth device can be connected at a time, which is really limiting in a family household. Disappointing - much cheaper household appliances allow multiple Bluetooth devices at once. Waaaay past time to update the technology for units this expensive. Edit: Even the unit’s own remote won’t work if there is another Bluetooth device paired. So, if I pair my phone and go upstairs, my wife can’t use the remote unless I disconnect. Edit 2: After more time with it, bumping it up to four stars. It easily switches between devices and the new device connecting picks up the previous status seamlessly. For example, if my wife turns it on and sets things and then leaves or turns off her app or phone, I can open the app and connect easily and it automatically sets to where she left it.
