Works great and I can do it all from my phone. I like the fact that it keeps my house at a constant temp rather than dropping a couple degrees, comes on, then heat above the set amount.
Have had this new wireless thermostat for a couple weeks now and love it! Good features. Appreciate the ability to set heat/cool schedule, to lock screen (if needed), and to control temp from the app on my phone.
It was very difficult to set up because the product was registered to the previous owner. With the help of Adam in support, we were able to get it reregistered and now it is great.
The unit works well. It's a little tricky to set up with the Wifi and app, but once you have it set up, you can control it from anywhere with the app. It is relatively inexpensive depending on where you buy it and if you can install it yourself you'll save around the purchase price from not paying someone to install it. A heating/AC service company will mark it up $40-$50 and charge you to install it. If you have only four wires going to your thermostat, you'll need to install an adapter unit on the furnace to make it work. If you have more wires available then you can make it work without the adapter.
Unfortunately, this series of thermostat, once activated on our dual frequency WIFI (2.4 /5.0 ), took down our network and forced our equipment to cycle on and off and repeat. We trouble shot the nw and verified that these thermostats are not compatible with our 5.0 Ghz side of the nw.
We worked with their technical department and they could not resolve the issue.
We had to change manufacturers and the replacement works flawlessly.
