One thing I ran into with my Air pro is the temp sensor in the device is super close to the processor, so as the device heats up, it couples into the temp sensor. This makes the device think the room is warmer than it is and it stops heating the room as a result. This makes “climate react” very unstable. If you go to your router and temporarily block the device on WiFi for 15 minutes, when you reconnect the WiFi (remove the router block) you will see the device think it is 4d F higher because it self heated searching for the WiFi signal. The Sensibo Sky doesn’t do this.

Excellent observation! Thanks for sharing!

A subscription to simply get all data is a deal killer for me with Sensibo.

[@BobPellerin]

Thanks for sharing. I didn't take the subscription and it runs fine as-is.

Really helpful review!

[@BobPellerin]

Glad it was helpful!

[@samantha3866]

Thank you !
Does this over ride the temperature sensor on the heat pump? Meaning is this like an external thermostat. And base the temperature through the Sensibo?

[@BobPellerin]

I'm under the impression that it does. You'd have to check with the manufacturer to be sure.

Can my wife or kids phone also control the App? So if I am gone, she can regulate as she wishes

[@aaronl7669]

can you set up the sensibo to change the fan speed on a wall unit depending on the temperature it is sensing?

[@BobPellerin]

The settings are Quiet, Low, medium, medium-High, High, Strong and Auto. That's all I see as options. I just set mine at Auto.

Nice!
Too bad it doesn't control the vent fan according to CO2 and VOC levels! :-(

[@dtemp132]

Well, running the fan won't help with CO2, only operating a ERV would do that. And it would only help with VOCs if there was a carbon filter loaded, which seems uncommon with minisplits. I believe it can tell their sister product Sensibo Pure to run, which does have a HEPA/carbon filter.

[@barriedear5990]

Can you still use the original controller as well as the app?

[@BobPellerin]

Yes
