If you are able to use it with the internet on WIFI it is vastly easier than the digital method for setting run-times and schedules. Without internet it is similar to all other digital thermostats where you must dial it up or down or over to reach the date/time etc you want. That is not always intuitive. On the internet it is a piece of cake. The dial is readable across a room and the light level is perfect. I would give 5 stars but I miss the indicator for when to change the filter that I had on my old one.
Great wireless thermostat, but if you have two floors, it's a hassle. I would love for the thermostats to communicate to each other. If I set the mode to heat on one, I have to go and manually do the same to the other. Regardless if I use the app or the device itself, it is still a hassle.
Had one installed for a year; we like it so much just installed another for the second zone. Very large system customization in install menu. Never had a connectivity problem, setup went painlessly, recent update to Honeywell Home app is a big improvement. I wish there was a way to monitor outdoor temp directly on the face of the unit, not just in the app.
This thermostat has a sleek look, and easy interface. This thermostat came with the new Trane Heat pump we had installed. I really like the app that supports it. I would recommend to a friend.
