I purchased a new home and this was the thermostat provided. In 11 months it broke completely and I was without heat on the coldest day of the year. I have a new one now and hope that lasts longer. When it works it’s fine, but if breaks again I will not replace it with this unit or company. The quality control must be non-existent. BUYER BEWARE!
We had two of these installed in our house. Within a few months the first one died and had to be replaced. Now within in a little over a year the second one died and will need replaced. These are junk. Im planning to change to something better and more reliable asap.
I had this abomination installed professionally along with an complete replacement of my homes HVAC system. To say setting it up on my wifi network was difficult would be an understatement. Landing on the moon was difficult, this...this setup required the blessing of Oden to complete. The app used to set it up was obviously cobbled together with old code from a someones archives. Archives which were never intended to ever see the light of day. Woe to those who would dare to install this thermostat! Be warned now, three fingers of your preferred whiskey will be required to calm down after the never ending aborted connection efforts. I would only recommend this disaster of a thermostat and its related app to my worst enemy, and even then I would feel pity for them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My HVAC company installed this thermostat (T6 Pro Z-Wave) but did not set up the wifi. As with most wifi home devices, almost any home user should be able to set this up. Well, I'm an IT person for many years and as soon as I started the setup I realized how poorly made this unit's software interface is. Just setting up the schedule, mode, and time takes way too many steps and way too much time. But the most horrible part is trying to set up the wifi to the mobile app. The steps and videos from Honeywell do not match what the unit does and my unit refused to connect to my home network of 2.4 Ghz. I called my installer and demanded that they give me any other brand thermostat other than Honeywell. I never want to deal with anything Honeywell after (yes) only this one bad experience, but it was so bad that it leaves a horrible memory. I suggest HW to stick to making push-button and slide button basic thermostats and leave the modern software units to others.

Thermostat doest regester from the first time (it take more than 10 trials, and sometimes doesnt connect to the phone. Thermostat turns ON the unit even if it is not on the schedule especially at night!
We replaced our Nest when it wasn't connecting well with our furnace at a second home. The furnace man said that Nests sometimes don't work with our brand of furnace & we should get this kind. I don't know if that is really true, but we didn't feel we had a choice because we couldn't risk the heat going off. It's always a pain to get used to a new electronic doodad. I do miss that it doesn't give the outside temp. or the inside humidity like a Nest does. Otherwise it's ok.
In general, I love the thermostat, but I don't like that when you set the schedule, you have to have the temperature change at the same time for both heat and air. It wouldn't be so bad if you had 6-8 temperature changes during the day, instead of 4. This is a major thing for my Mom and I.
