I’ve been using this thermostat for several weeks now and love it. Works great, easy to navigate. Being able to control it from my phone is a big plus, especially when I’m not home! Highly recommend.
You cannot turn the fan completely off without taking the device completely off the wall mount. That means there is constant noise from the fan or blower of my handler. Constant circulation is not necessary for temperature control. My hearing hates it. I have to raise the volume on my TV and other sound producing devices. I have auditory sensitivities and this bothers me to no end. Fortunately, I am able to sleep through the constant fan because the unit is on the other side of my condo from the bedroom.
The app is terrible. I did not want to enable notifications, location data for geofencing, or smart features. I only wanted to use the app to manage the settings of the thermostat for my in-law apartment while respecting the privacy of any occupants. The app asked if I wanted to enable these features every time I opened it instead of remembering my preferences. I had to close a pop-up asking me to enable those permissions every time I opened it. The app was so aggressive about asking for permissions to access more of my data I did not trust having the app on my phone or the thermostat connected to my home network. I uninstalled the app and disconnected the thermostat from WiFi. Total waste of money.
