Cielo Breeze vs sensibio sky vs ? Best mini split controller

So im interested in buying a controller to change my temps for day and night and I was thinking if I set it on a schedule it would work best so I can start cooling down about 30 mins before lights go off, I figured this would help with the humidity spike at lights out. Problem is my internet just randomly goes out and I was hoping to find a controller that stored the schedule on board in case of internet outage. Cielo customer service says if no internet then the schedule will be missed.

Anyone use either of these or any other options with success?
 
Outtages and privacy are common concerns with these gadgets.

Here's a snapshot of my Sensibo Sky scheduled tasks.

My lights go out at 9pm.
At 8:15 I set the AC to start cooling the room down. (was 81)

Creating scheduled items with the exact same setting a few minutes apart, or every hour would be some insurance in the event of temp wifi/internet outtages.

Oh yeah.....the app event log show success and failures.

Does it work as expected? And I can easily set it to say 79 during lights on and then 69 or so when lights off? How much do you change night temps from day temps?

Also noticed you said privacy concerns, I hadn’t thought of that should I be worried about something like that with this device?
 
Pebble makes a good one. My buddy has it in his room and it's been super reliable at turning on and off his minisplit on a schedule. He can control it all from his phone and see what the temperature is from anywhere.
 
Works as expected.
I'm not concerned about security.

Here's my schedule for 9am lights on, 9pm lights off.

850am. 82f, fan high
3pm. 82f
815pm. 77f
905pm. 72f
1130pm. 72f, medium fan

From what I've read...Technically all of these devices use and rely on a cloud based system.

The app is key. Thats what you will be using. And compatibility/features of course.

I wanted the Cielo Breeze but it was not compatible with my lil 6k Amana. Had to return it. As it turns out, the Sensibo was an easier setup and install. I think the Cielo had a display and more history data.
Don't quote my mj memory. Lol


Oh yeah. The Sensibo has temp and rh......but no remote probe. I have it right next to the AC so its way off.

I run the Ecowitt app for my temps and humidity monitoring of veg and flower at canopy level.
