About a year ago I purchased new electronic thermostats for my 2 home units. Wifi thermostats were an additional $100+. I saw no value and didn't think I needed that feature. Recently I replaced my 2 AC units which included wifi thermostats. Boy was I wrong. I love these things and will clearly get a return on my investment. We camp alot and it's great to have the ability to raise the temperature remotely when we leave town. What's even better is to lower the temperature when we're heading home to a cool house.
Probably not. I don’t like that it requires your GPS from your phone on at all times in order to use the app. I also think it sends that data somewhere, with no option to opt out. It also has WiFi issues—my power went off for a few minutes and it took me 6 separate tries to get it back connected (about an hour to do it). It frequently sends me push notifications that it has WiFi connection issues (even though it’s less than 10ft unobstructed from the fully functioning router). Underwhelmed, like my 5 year old thermostat downstairs better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
