GROHE Watersystems

I don’t know why they even bothered with an app. Between the near impossibility of getting it on the network (which I was able to do by setting up an actual separate non-mesh router with 5Ghz fully disabled), to the ever present “you may have an issue with your device” message, it’s a dumpster fire. For the very brief period I actually had this working a number of months ago, the “smart” features (like setting up an automated pour of a specifically volume of water) never worked right. I would caution anyone from ever buying a product from Grohe that is intended to be smart. Buy it if you like the hardware and the hardware alone. The software is less than an afterthought — it’s simply a way to check the box that they made this “smart” and can charge us dummies extra for it.

Don’t bother downloading it. Functionality is extremely limited and unreliable. Only records usage driven by the app, not total usage so right now my app says no usage for the last month even though in fact many liters of water have been drawn. And the status is not reliable —my Blue Professional is currently showing an error message (E1) and is shut down, the app says it’s fine. I was hoping to use this to remotely monitor a Blue Professional in a vacation rental property (know when to tell the manager to replace the CO2 or filter for example) but I can’t trust it.

Love the system- hate the app. Since the firmware update, the professional unit disconnects often. When I set presets for filling vessels, it saves as 7oz regardless of the amount I choose. The workaround is to manually fill from the app or at the faucet. As the previous review mentioned, let us see the consumption from unit activation and the app versus just the app. Also, I concur with this needing some type of connection to a smart system. Maybe I want a nice cold glass of water filled in a pitcher while I have company over. “Hey Siri, fill that thing up”
