BUY IF
Works reliably for early Kickstarter adopters over multiple years
- + Built-in humidity sensor on V2 is a meaningful hardware upgrade
- + Rebate programs available in some Canadian provinces (~$50/unit)
- + Cofounder is publicly engaged with reviewer community and commits to ongoing app development
SKIP IF
App lacks a simple permanent-off mode — users must create fake schedules to disable heating in summer
- − Mini-split mode may not function as a true thermostat — rooms run 4-5 degrees below setpoint
- − Inherited V1 hardware complaints about button responsiveness and low-res display remain unconfirmed as fixed in V2
- − Relay clicking sound reported as annoying by multiple users
Where the layers disagree ⚡
5 CONTRADICTIONS DETECTEDUSER comments report the app 'sucks' with no permanent off mode, but VIDEO shows Mysa's cofounder claiming 'the app is the most important part' — a direct contradiction between brand priorities and user experience
USER reports Mysa for mini-split 'doesn't act as a thermostat at all' — just sets target temp while the AC unit's own thermostat still controls actual output, causing 4-5 degree discrepancy. No video or brand layer addresses this core functionality gap
USER community broadly questions whether baseboard/radiant heat is worth smartening at all due to slow thermal response, undermining the product's core value proposition before installation even begins
VIDEO comments from V1 users report physical button failures (~50% miss rate) and unreadable dot-matrix display — V2 must prove these hardware issues are resolved, but available video data doesn't confirm fixes
VIDEO commenters flag annoying relay clicking sounds and demand alternatives to Nest/ecobee, but no layer confirms whether V2 eliminates this
