When I moved into my new home, it already had a nice programmable Honeywell thermostat. A few days later, I had a security system installed. I was told that I had the wrong type of thermostat and needed a “Z Waze“ version of essentially the same device. An argument between the developer and the security provider in sued. Neither one and two incurred the cost of the switch. The developers suggested that I stay with my current Wi-Fi enabled thermostat and use the Resideo app to control only the thermostat. That worked really well, and I especially love the “Geo fencing“ feature that changes the thermostat to energy saving settings when I get 1 mile away from my home, and then back to regular settings when I return and cross that 1 mile radius.
Interface is simple, unit looks nice, setup is a bit clunky, biggest complaint is that it can’t do automatic mode between heat and cool based on temp setting. Seems like a big oversight, since even my old not smart thermostat could do that.
Our previous house had a Google Nest, and this was installed in our new house by the builder... Oh how I miss the Nest... This thing marks us as away when we're sitting in the room with it and all of a sudden it's warming the house to 80 when it's 92 degrees outside.
Being that it is supposed to be a smart thermostat...It has a long way to go to graduate. Temp modes have to be set manually instead of say the Nest that keeps the temp within a range switching automatically.
