Only bad part is that it could not be set up using an Android phone. Set up perfectly on the iPhone. Otherwise, no problems. I have two houses 1000 miles apart. I can change temp and check temp inside house on my phone (It is an Android). When we were coming home in Dec I turned up the heat about an hour before we arrived and found the home comfortable. Weather outside one home was almost 100 one summer and I regulated the temp from far away. Great monthly report on how I have been doing compared to other years. 2nd home has mini splits so I can't get a 2nd thermostat. I would buy the same one.
I have had 2 of these for over a year now. It did take a little bit to set up originally because I didn't have great wifi. I had too many things using a rural service. Once we upgraded our internet they work great. I have them set to tell me if they go offline. They remind me when to replace the filters. They also tell me if it gets too hot or cool, especially during the time when you need heat at night and air in the day.
Very fast to sense temperature change...very accurate as well. Easy install. Nice face plate to hide older thermostat holes and paint. The smart phone app install could have been easier and had to do it several times to make it work on my I phone. Sometimes the app will not load right away..,,when you want to change temperature . Has a rather long delay sometimes.
Only issues I’ve had so far was it kept disconnecting from the Wifi at one point the app I was having issues but once I deleted the app we download the app then reinstalled the thermostat on the app I haven’t had any issues since then it’s a good thermostat just wish that you can use a smart device like Alex to control it besides just Siri on a I phone I would recommend it to a friend it was pretty straightforward to set up and connect
