GAF Wi-Fi Vent Reviews

Not dependable at all

This app barely works at all. Constantly freezes. Restarts don’t help. Read out from device (temp and humidity) seems wrong. I plan to remove the WiFi unit, install a simple temperature switch, and delete this app off my phone.

50% rubbish

In my case the fan is all right ...it moves air. The controller and app are rubbish and sadly GAF is 0 help.I have three of these units. A bit Fiddly to connect but controllers Technically worked the first couple month or so. Now a year and a half later none work. Tried just about everything. GAF would not replace the controllers with standard ones. Not even selling me some at a discount. :(

Worked like a charm!

I’m a roofing contractor and we just installed two wifi vents. Once they were powered they showed up on the list of available wifi connections. You can only connect to one at a time but, my phone connected to them no problem. Then, the app found the connected device no problem. I could turn the vent on manually or turn it on with the thermostat setting. I made settings for the first one, then I switched over the connection to the second one. I turned it on and off through all avenues, and made settings for it. Then I switched back to the first one again and, the setting were still as I put them. I updated firmware immediately so, hopefully these things will continue to be this awesome for years into the future!

Works great

I had the same issues as everyone else buy it’s the phone and not the vent. The issue is the phone need to connect to the vent wifi and when it does and your phone sees it doesn’t work it connects to the cell tower signal even if your phone says it’s on wifi. So all you need to do is disconnect your phone from the cell tower which is easy to do with a swipe and click so no big deal. I’m amazed how something so simple becomes so complicated for most people.

Junk

Constant off line with a clear pathway. Set up was easy however it doesn’t work 99% of the time! Now can’t get it to shut off runs constantly

Can’t change passcode

Called gaff to find out how to change the passcode to my fan because it came with no instructions on it let alone a password to even connect to it in the first place. They say you can’t. So basically anyone with this app that gets in proximity of my home has the ability to mess with my attic fan.

Very weak app

This is a really poor app. At best it can be given one star because you can set the vent fan & turn it on & off which in my case eliminates the need for a ladder in the attic. It does not connect to your network so you cannot control it outside the home. Using wifi you either connect to the fan or you home network. The best choice is to connect via Bluetooth after updating the firmware. It even lacks the ability to refresh without closing & reopening the app. I expected better from GAF. Hopefully they will improve it over time but based on my brief encounter with their support staff I doubt it.

WiFi? Not so much…

WiFi? Not really...

Connects only to the GAF WiFi internal to the vent…no way to connect the vent to my home WiFi. So no way to monitor/control the vent when I’m away from home. Stupid…

Waist of space…

Most positive reviews are from new installers. Unfortunately they will learn this App will only let you view the default programming if you can get it to connect properly. It will not allow you save or change the default programming to the device. It will eventually default back the standard program every time. This app is useless as is the wifi device it connects to. The negative reviews are from users who have owned the device and realized their set programs where never set.

No way to connect to Bluetooth nor any option to change WiFi

There is no way that fans gonna connect to your own WiFi instead you have to connect to the WiFi that fan broadcasts. Plus Bluetooth functions is not active yet.
