Amana Home

I don’t like the interface at all. It also looses connectivity too easily and too often. Mostly though I cannot stand the fact that it has a range that you set the thermostat to. I would prefer one set temperature, not a range. Another feature that would make it better would be having the ability to set the fan on to more than just once an hour I had a Nest Thermostat and had to replace it with the Amana one as Nest was not compatible with the Amana A/C unit. Damn.

but doesn't exceed them With all the available data that an app could track (proven by Nest and Ecobee), Amana's version is a disappointment. Does it control the temperature in my home? Yes. Does it allow me to create a climate schedule? Yes. Does it provide useful air quality data? Yes. In these ways, the app meets my expectations for what I can do with the most basic of programmable thermostats. Does it estimate the power usage of my heat pump? Yes. Is this estimate even remotely accurate? No. What is the point of a graph that is off by over 50%? Does it track the system's runtime and provide timely reports of this information? Does it breakdown this usage into gas/heat-pump? Nope. Even my cheap Honeywell could track the runtime of my old furnace. Does the app allow me to run heat-pump or gas based on time of day? Nope. I can set the heat-pump to run over a certain temperature, but i would also like to restrict its use to daylight hours during which we produce solar power. This would be a simple addition to the settings, but Amana doesn't feel it's important. I was sold on the thermostat and this app based on its ability to allow full functionality of my hybrid system. I have found the app to be sadly lacking and Amana disinterested in making improvements.

I would like to have better option control of my AMANA air handler comfort settings through this app such as airflow trim reduction or increase of up to 15-18%. More options for heat staging and fan speeds, better communication with Alexa app such as present humidity level indoor.
