App Requirements and Device Compatibility
The Mysa app is required to set up and control your Mysa smart thermostat. Make sure your phone and home network meet these requirements before purchasing.
Mobile Device Requirements
The Mysa app is available for both iOS and Android devices:
- iOS: Requires iOS 15.0 or later (iPhone, iPad)
- Android: Requires Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later
- Bluetooth 4.0 or higher required for initial thermostat setup
Note: The Mysa app is not available for Windows, macOS, or web browsers. A compatible smartphone or tablet is required.
WiFi Network Requirements
Mysa thermostats connect to your home WiFi network to enable remote control and smart features:
- 2.4 GHz WiFi network required (5 GHz networks are not supported)
- WPA or WPA2 security protocol
- Stable internet connection for remote access and scheduling
Important: Many modern routers broadcast both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks. If your router uses a combined network, you may need to separate the bands or ensure the thermostat connects to the 2.4 GHz band during setup.
Tip: If you have trouble connecting during setup, try temporarily disabling the 5 GHz band on your router, or move your phone closer to the thermostat.
Smart Home Platform Requirements
Mysa integrates with popular smart home platforms. Each platform has its own requirements:
- Apple HomeKit: Requires an Apple device with iOS 15+ and a Home Hub (Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad)
- Google Home: Requires the Google Home app and a Google account
- Amazon Alexa: Requires the Alexa app and an Amazon account
- Samsung SmartThings: Requires the SmartThings app and a Samsung account
Note: Mysa Lite supports Amazon Alexa only. See our product comparison guide for full details on which integrations each model supports.
Setup Process Overview
- Download the Mysa app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android)
- Create a Mysa app account or sign in
- Enable Bluetooth on your phone
- Follow the in-app instructions to pair your thermostat
- Connect the thermostat to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network
Tip: Keep your phone within a few feet of the thermostat during the Bluetooth pairing step.
