I have exclusively used Amazon smart plugs to upgrade my home to be smarter. I get confused with added variables such as hubs. This thermostat was my first venture away from smart plugs but the installation was straight forward and understandable. If I can do it anyone can.
The ability to use the phone to adjust the AC temp is great. Sometime I am in bed or on the sofa and I don’t need to get up to adjust the temperature. Everything can be done remotely. It works fantastic.
Have been using it for about 2 weeks now and have found it very easy to use. The times I have lowered the temp while out the temp was back up to proper temp when arrived home. I can envision saving money on heat and AC.
its finicky at best. Connection to Wi-Fi is an issue, geo fence is not great. And this is my second one after the first one stoped displaying any info.
