Micro-air Easystart/Bluetooth

[J&JD]

I’m considering purchasing a couple of the Micro-Air units for my DS. My question is is it worth it to get the Bluetooth version? Doesn’t seem like a huge advantage to me even though there’s only about a $35 difference in price.

I just purchased 3, and decided against BT as I don't know that I need the data Might miss it, but I doubt it.

I didn’t know there was a non-BT model. That being said, I love the device. I think the BT function is helpful as it allows me to control the thermostat if my router is off.

I assume you have the micro air thermostat? I was referring to the easy start which I assume @J&JD was referring to.

DOH! Sorry guys.
I do have two micro air soft starts as well, but without Bluetooth. I wish it did….

I can't figure out what I would gain with BT... what do you see as useful?

That’s precisely my question.

It's an install and forget. No BT.

Ha. So I admit I never looked into it after I bought mine in early 2019…when the Bluetooth option was not available. I looked back now and was unable to determine what data you can ascertain from the device via bluetooth….so without that info, I will also have to say I am not sure its worth it. I tend to be a data junkie, so I normally would opt for the Bluetooth…

They do a poor job of selling the upgrade. We have 3 people willing to pay more if only we had a justification
