Most of the time the app can't communicate with the unit, making the app a waste of memory. Its been 10 days. I know that both the app and the unit are connecting, because the app shows the unit's settings. And I can control the unit using Google Home just fine. But after that initial set-up, I've NEVER been able to send a command to the unit from the app. To whoever is responsible for this app: Don't let interns write your Android apps.

Pretty miserable but does work (kinda). Requires rediculous permissions - calls, contacts, storage, and location. This was the only way I could find to add cooling schedules to a standalone air-conditioner. It does that very well - actually using it to manually control the unit is very hit and miss with many time out errors. But it does keep my room cool on a schedule(different temps at different times) which is excellent and impossible to do otherwise.

Terrible App! Hard to connect and harder to use. It seems, now that I have my Dehumidifier linked to the app, the only way to control it is to do the diagnostic test first. If I attempt to turn it on it doesn't respond... but run the diagnostic and that seems to wake it up. C'mon Hisense, you gotta do better.

It's ok when it works. Keep losing connection. Says device is offline. Worked well for a few weeks then started acting up. Tried deleting & reinstalling device. The connection lasted for 30 seconds, then back to offline status.

Its impossible for me to connect to router. It wont register even ac wifi. But its there in available wifi's. I checked router and disabled almost everything there is just to make it easier for ac to connect. Nope it wont show ac wifi in app. Have ac with wifi capabilities but without using it its a disaster. I even whitelisted ports. Still nothing. My purifier from another brand works flawlessly with any configuration in router but this is impossible. There is hi smart wifi but it wont start.

Mine has worked fine for months although Iam pretty tech inclined. Make sure the AC unit is in pairing mode first, to do so press swing button on the remote six times there will a series of beeps and the temp display should read 77. Install Google home app on your phone go to add a device search for hismartair login and your good. The app can be finicky I've found it much easier to voice control with Google. Grant it's permissions on setup and then go to app info and remove them.
