Honeywell - 10,000 BTU Smart Wi-Fi Portable Air Conditioner - Silver

Works very well to keep bedroom cool without the expense of having to cool the rest of the house.

As a standalone AC unit it works as advertised; however, the advanced Remote/WiFi/Voice features have a long way to go. For standalone AC it does the job. Cooling, Fan, Dehumidifier, and Auto modes. I've only tried Cooling/Fan/Auto but they work and it cools a room effectively. My frustrations are with Remote/WiFi/Voice features. Had difficulty with the Honeywell Air Comfort Alexa Skill just like many other reviewers; however, I was able to get it to connect and work. It's not great but some basic commands do function. I had some issues connecting at first as well. Below are a few learnings that may help others: NOTE: All of these are for Honeywell Portable AC HF0CESVWK6 and Alexa Echo Dot ~~ Honeywell AC Unit WiFi Connectivity & App Usage ~~ 1: As instructed, the app "Honeywell Air Comfort" is required. Registration is required to use the app (free). The Registration process will then guide you to a place to start WiFi setup and device connection. 2: I had more luck using the onboard buttons on the AC instead of using the remote. - 2a: Press and hold the WiFi button on the AC until it beeps. This means it's ready for WiFi connection and it worked for me once I followed the prompts in the app. Note the prompts do walk you through how to prep the AC unit (as mentioned before), configure WiFi, then temporarily swap to the AC unit's hotspot instead of your home WiFi. I could see this being a challenge for many people as it isn't very intuitive... but reading carefully does the trick. - 2b: The app tried to tell me to use the remote for this instead. Instructed to hold both the "Mode" (9 dots in a square) and "Swing" (Partial Pie Chart) buttons at once. This didn't work for me but in hindsight I think it's because the remote REQUIRES LINE OF SIGHT to the AC. The remote will give a false positive that it did something but the AC unit itself didn't recognize it. Easy to test this just by trying On/Off with the remote from different sight lines. 3: The temp control works in the app but a little finicky. Such as the +/- buttons only work one at a time and the unit must confirm the previous increase before it lets you do the next. Click +/- rapidly won't help. Do one at a time and wait for it to catch up. The app all has a radial visual and you can click around the 'dial' in the app to 'jump' to that temp. However the DIAL IN THE APP IS LARGER THAN THE ACTUAL RANGE OF THE AC UNIT. I noticed I could only use about ~12 - 3 o'clock on the radial to be in the 60 - 90 degree range. Below or above that just bugs out and typically does nothing helpful. 4. Basic WiFi functions over app like On, Off, Fan Speed, Mode, and others generally worked fine. Just the temp control was finicky. 5. For me the WiFi HoneyWell app functions worked on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies. ~~ Honeywell Air Comfort Alexa Skill Enablement/Link ~~ 1. In Alex app the Auto Discover/Scan Device never worked for me.... but there is hope per below. 2. Ensure to enable "Honeywell Air Comfort" skill and not the "Honeywell Home", "Honeywell Total Connect Comfort", or other apps. 3. Linking the Skill required me to provide the same Honeywell username info I provided to the Honeywell app itself before. Note the linking UI for this Skill in the Alex UI has some odd looks. It prompts you for phone or email but it looks like phone only as it has the region extension by default. For me the PHONE DID NOT WORK to link. I HAD TO USE MY EMAIL to get it to link (same as the Honeywell app... which never asked for phone but did ask for email). 4. Even after linking I found it difficult to then find the device. Auto discover failed. For me I had to switch my phone WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz before it finally worked. Reading the Honeywell AC unit Owners Manual also says only 2.4GHz is supported. 5. Even on 2.4Ghz it still didn't quite auto discover right away... however, after tapping in circles through the Alexa app I eventually found it. Once I was on 2.4Ghz and the Skill enabled... I just checked Devices and found it had auto discovered it on it's own some time prior. It is under the category of "Thermostats" then "Air Conditioner". So it wasn't finding it because it had already found it... guess I just wasn't paying attention. Alas, it was finally connected. ~~ Skill Voice Commands ~~ 1. Both the Honeywell App and Alexa had the device named as "Air Conditioner" by default. I was happy to find it also responds to "AC" by default. So "Air Conditioner" or "AC" work out of the box. Basic "Alexa, Turn ON the Air Condition" and "Alexa, Turn OFF the Air Conditioner" worked perfectly. 2. VOICE COMMAND ON/OFF: Basic "Alexa, Turn ON the Air Condition" and/or "Alexa, Turn OFF the AC" worked perfectly. 3. VOICE COMMAND TEMP CHANGE: After much frustrating I finally got this to work. In short... the Alexa app defaulted and display FAHRENHEIT but then secretly converts it to CELSIUS when sending to the AC Unit. I checked every setting possible (Alex, Honeywell Skill, Honeywell App, AC Unit itself) and NOWHERE can I see why this is happening. Honeywell AC Unit/App <-> Alexa Skill TEMP CONVERSION: 60 <-> 140 (Min) 69 <-> 156 75 <-> 167 90 <-> 194 (Max) So I was able to say "Alexa, change the Air Conditioner to 194 degrees"... which changed the AC to 90 F (Max). And "Alexa, change the Air Conditioner to 140 degrees"... which changed the AC to 60 F (Min). 4. I have found voice commands that work for other settings like Fan Speed, Mode, Swing, Sleep, etc. Just On/Off and Temp Control. Nor does the manual or onsite listing of the Honeywell product list the commands. AND the Alexa skill description itself has example commands that are clearly incorrect and/or copied from some unrelevant template. Conclusion: After much frustration the unit does connect to WiFi, link with Alexa, and retain basic On/Off + Temp Control voice commands. It's just quite buggy in it's implementation. I'm not in love with it but it does meet bare minimum needs. Hoping this app/skill logic and features get an overhaul soon... Good luck!

Received this and it was a little banged up but still works nothing really noticeable. It is somewhat loud and cold a few feet away from it but it really doesn't cool all parts of a room. It took long to cool a small room.
