With our old Honeywell thermostat, when you had it on a schedule but needed to override it (to turn up the heat a degree or two, etc.) it would last for 4 hours and then default back to the schedule. With this thermostat if you override the schedule it stays that way forever and will not default back to the scheduled settings. I don't know how to return it back to the schedule.
The thermostat has to be set to heat or cool. It does not automatically decide if heating or cooling is needed. That’s important for those spring days where it’s either warm enough for AC or cold enough for heat. You have to manually select cool or heat.
This is a basic programmable set back thermostat. Cooling periods cannot be set differently than the heating periods. Both share the same start and stop times. This does not help accommodate Time Based electric rates. Instructions state a max of 6 time periods when in fact there are only 4. 6 periods would help with setting cooling periods around electric rates when the heating and cooling periods cannot be different. Occasionally drops WiFi. Sometime app shows unit offline when thermostat shows connected.
Right now I am super frustrated with this product. The downstairs one lost Wifi and I cannot get it to reconnect. The simple hold down the screen and a box should come up to reset and it does not. All directions that Honeywell gives do not with work.
