Senville

I had similar issues to others in terms of bugging this and general inconsistency with the native Senville app. After reviewing several user forms, I found that the third-party Midea mobile app would work just fine as an alternative remote controller for Senville units. Since they are all effectively manufactured by Midea and then rebranded under a different name (as many are in the sector) you’re effectively just using the original first party mobile app that’s also updated far more often than Senville’s (based on the release history here). Has been great for me and offered out of the box Alexa integration from day, one without an additional/updated Wi-Fi dongle purchase. Give it a shot when you are within Wi-Fi/Bluetooth range of your head units and see if it works for you!

The app walks you through the process with step by step instructions. Once successful connected to your system, you can control units from your smart phone or tablet. One feature missing for me is the led disable feature from the app. My kids like to sleep with a dark room. Not a big deal because I disable the led using the remote when I put them to bed. I will be adding another three unit system to my house and look forward to using this app for those additional units.

In theory this is as great app but when you have three units and have to reconnect them all multiple times per week it’s pretty useless. Example- I knew I was staying out last night. Connected all three units before I left. This morning on the way home I go to turn the heat on remotely and only one of them is still online. It’s crazy. The scheduling tool works well when the devices stay online, but again it’s just spotty. If they improve connectivity, I’d give it way more stars.
