Im using the ACQI Smart thermostat on a MR. Cool Universal Heat Pump, because MR Cool does not offer a WIFI HA/HB Communicating thermostat. All these units are the same, a Madeia with their brand logo on them. Thermostat works just fine, easy to install and setup. Temperature reading is accurate and connects to WIFI Just fine. It only allows one connection at a time via WIFI. There are some service parameters to adjust, but I cant find anyone in ACQI engineering that understands the settings, which would help optimize the system. As stated, it works just fine. There is some much performance information available with these heat pumps. It’s a shame someone is not providing a thermostat that would offer that.

I had previously used a Nest thermostat to control my variable speed inverter heat pump, but that only controls it by 24v connections which lack optimized control of fan and compressor. Switched to this new thermostat to have full control via its communication connection. The problem is I gained some features but lost others. Example features I don’t have with those new ACIQ thermostat is settings to control the temperature at which the aux heat turns on, the ability to run aux heat and heat pump at the same time, set points for my dehumidifier , as well as a good scheduling system. It’s very barebones compared to a nest or Ecobee thermostat , but it’s required to use the communication interface for varying the output of the fan and heating.

Purchased to use with a Senville ducted heat pump. Works just fine, seems to support all the features of the Senville. Only issue is that the app almost always disconnects from the thermostat. It is 3 extra clicks to reconnect, and so far that has always worked. Same issue android and apple. Using with the HA/HB terminals. Hope they resolve the app issue, asni will need another one here in a few months.
