“Thermostat install / setup requires some knowledge on HVAC or educate yourself with several installation / setup /operation videos on YouTube or queries on the internet for technical definitions / questions. Instructions with box are too basic. to install correctly. Installed an exterior Honeywell Temperature / Humidity Sensor at my Heat Pump control area outside with the existing thermostat wire. Now have better control of low set point for Aux Heat kicking on and set it so its not so quick to jump to Aux heat when bumping up the heat 1 or 2 degrees. I like the Auto feature to set a range for automatically switching between heating and cooling. On certain days I will still manually tweak the the temperature setting knowing its trend for the day to save energy (easy to do). And on the wall I have it set to just tap the thermostat face to see the settings. The remote phone interface is excellent and easy to use. My local HVAC company quoted me $1000.00 for the Thermostat and Temperature Sensor / Humidity install and I did it for $120.00 Tax included. Thermostat was cheaper through AMZN warehouse deals just like new.”
“I have had this thermostat for about 6 months. It worked well in the beginning and still does what it should. However, it will reset the screen every 5 minutes or so. It lights up and resets for no reason other than the status reads waiting for update. There is no way to update this. I searched all over the manual, honeywell website, and google. I have found nothing on how to update or what it actually needs to get back on track. It still cools and heats according to schedule but very annoying that the screej resets every 5 minutes next to our TV. Distracting and I can imagine it uses energy to reset so often that shouldn't be needed.”
“I had it installed by HVAC, as I don't think I could have done it with my limited DYI skills and fear of electricity. Was relatively easy to connect to internet hub and my smart phone. The app is easy to use and registers your product. Can easily program to wide variety of settings and program options to help with utility savings. I needed a thermostat that I could program a constant "On" setting of the all-house fan for air treatment machine in my HVAC. Good product, very good price. Purchased on plumbingsupplyandmore, as was not available in local stores.”
“I got this thermostat to be able to control the temperature remotely. It was recommended by the HVAC person due to having furnaces, AC and heat pumps. It required professional install, I was not able to do it myself. It took many many attempts of putting in the wi fi name and password before it finally connected to the network, even though the router box was fairly close to the thermastat. Other than that, it appears to be working well.”
