I love the convenience of being able to control the thermostat remotely. It helps save energy when I’m not home to turn everything off. But then I can warm or cool the house remotely and come home to the right temperature.
The app that goes along with the thermostat pales in comparison to the NEST. If I want to the parameters to be different on each day, it says the geo tracking won’t work. Disappointed to have spent more money on what is supposed to be a better thermostat. Maybe it is but the user experience is not
I am very comfortable working with technology and the app has great features, but I wanted the thermostat to work with my Smart Home setup using Amazon's Alexa. I've tried and it doesn't work consistently.
The thermostat was installed with my heat pump. I downloaded the app and connected it. It’s easy to program. I particularly like the Geofencing which tells the thermostat when I have left the house or re-entered the home zone and adjust the thermostat to save money.
For most people this thermostat would be a 4 or 5. I'm an engineer and need tech details and data. This thermostat falls short in that the span (the temp above & below the set point where it turns on/off the HVAC) is unknown and not settable. Additionally, the run time data in the app doesn't update in real time. In fact I have no idea when it updates and nothing seems to show up for low run-times. On a positive note, I do like the WiFi connectivity and the ability to control from anywhere.
