Anyone use 'Wisen' or 'Smart Life' App to control their heating?

Thanks FB.

I've tried putting what you said into Google Translate, selecting 'Gobbledygook' to 'English', but it didn't work.

I think I get the gist, tho'.

Most important thing I understand is to choose a Stat with the preferred App - thanks for that.

This one. Functionally it has worked absolutely fine, however it’s hard to see the UI on the front as it’s way too dim and i couldn’t get it to fit properly in a pattress box but that could just be me being stupid. As it’s in the shed and I control it with the app then I’m not bothered but it would be annoying otherwise 

Can you confirm whether this allows each individual day to have its own programmed settings, please?

Ie; they usually state: 5+2 / 6+1 / 7 weekly programming schedule. What does the '7' refer to?

Cheers.

I use Smart Life to control the wireless thermostat for the electric underfloor heating in my shed (home office). It’s pretty basic but does the job I need it to

Hey! How come your Smart Life interface looks so much better than mine?!

Are you iOS or summat?

An update on this in case it's of use.

I experimented with a couple of cheap WiFi Prog Stats, one a Beok bought cheaply on t'Bay, and another a more sophisticated model (Tuya, possibly) bought - again cheaply - from China.

Neither was suitable for its initial intended use, a village hall, due to not having the ability to have independent 7-day programming. Both, tho', are neat units that would suit many applications, and one of them has now replaced my old wired Heatmiser as it allows me to adjust the heating from the sofa... (Usually downwards, once blanket is over t'knees...)

Both are also nobbled by having whole degree increment changes, which is far too crude (tho' a manufacturer's video on YTube shows half-degree steps), and also by very limited weekend settings (essentially just an 'on' and an 'off'), but as Prog Stats with remote access, they are effective units. The Tuya, in particular, is also very sleek and attractive, black-mirror finish with a gentle constant backlight to make reading it easy, and which comes on full for a few seconds when the touch buttons or remote is used. 

Ended up going Hive for the hall, to which I'm about to add a Hub - wish me luck... :-(
