Overall this is a great modern thermostat. There is a phone app (Residio) that allows you to operate it remotely, which I also use even when I am home. I used that to set a schedule which was generally self explanatory. You have the choice between M-F/S-S as grouped days or individual day schedules, with up to 4 time periods per day. It also has a feature called Geofencing, which operates by detecting your cellphone as an indicator of proximity. I have not tried that yet. There appear to be no motion detectors, so you are only home if your phone is there. You must select between schedule or geofencing, which are mutually exclusive. For combination heating and cooling units, you can choose between cool and heat modes, but it does not have the "auto" management of these that is available on some thermostats. My one suggestion is to provide some kind of Getting Started documentation. I am fairly tech savvy and it took me a while to figure out how to get the app and get it started. Honeywell has another phone app which confused me when I went to the app store.
I really appreciate my T6 Wi-Fi Thermostats. Our house is heated with infloor, hot water heat and the Wi-Fi control gives me piece of mind when I'm not at home.
I have had some trouble staying connected to the internet.

The only thing missing from the thermostat is the ability to change automatically from hot to cold. If it had that one features, it would be absolutely perfect. My favorite feature of the thermostat is the ability to learn how long it takes to heat or cool the house to my desired temperature. Love that feature!
This model came with our new furnace. Setup was easy, clear menu choices. App works great without any delay. Downsides are no humidity reading and can’t operate ac and heat, here in central Ohio sometimes you need warmth in the morning and cooling in the evening without having to manually select a cycle. Good product for a basic situation.
