Blueriiot - Blue Connect

Nuff said

This is a great device interns of usefulness and construction. It does exactly what is advertises. Worth every penny I paid. It tells me exactly What the water chemistry is and how to correct Problems.

I don’t mind that the gadget is kind of broken. Because I don’t rely on it after 2 months. The app, needs a bit more hand holding work, but it’s the backend that requires more effort IMO, as well as a customer service overhaul. It has the potential to be a top tier product as a subscription monitoring system, but the costs are prohibitive and hidden at the moment. I also have my problems with the way that they sell online stats as a "subscription", and it also requires battery/probe replacement every ~2 years. The probes are around 1/4 to 1/3 of the price, and the subscription or warranty doesn’t cover battery or probe replacement. IMO, hiding this cost, as a business practice, until after purchase is misleading. Include it in the “plus” subscription tier. The added cost of the gold/platinum probes has to be factored in, as well as the battery and online subscription to a product that should be perfect. It’s far from that. I do get sigfox coverage, but Bluetooth is sporadic. It’s not clear that the blue connect goes offline to conserve power, so it’s always going to be unresponsive. As for pool stats, it is wildly inaccurate with the wrong sensor installed. The platinum probe on the base model doesn’t measure ORP properly for salt or mineral pools, while the gold probe that comes with the higher tier package, covers both chlorine and salt / mineral pools. I will get salt levels from 5200 to 7600ppm on the same day, and ORP of 400 to 730, etc. And, If their online systems worked, they would figure out such a variance was a “problem” in a 24 hour period of samples, and log a faulty product, or contact the owner/account. Nope. Had to ask support and weeks later, get linked to the advice. No further interaction. Sigh.
