The thermostat is not at all intuitive. It took me a long time to figure out how to program it. And many of the programming features are only available when using my phone and WiFi.
We find it easier to control by the app. We like being able to control it remotely especially if we forget to adjust when we have left the house. It seems to be a couple of degrees off compared to the other thermometers and thermostats in the house. Overall we like the product.
App does not work well, does not interface with home devices. Schedule settings labels (Sleep, Wake, Away, Home) do not reflect my schedule and should be able to be renamed.
• Human interface well-designed and effective. • Looks good on wall.
Cons:
• The control algorithm seems deficient. I have a variable-speed air handler, but a lower speed is only used briefly (~30 Sec.) when the A/C compressor comes on, and not at all when it turns off. I expected a lower speed much more of the time, instead of essentially jumping between completely off and maximum speed. • Almost every time I come back to the app, I get a message about too many logins. When I close the app and reopen it, login by finger ID works normally. (Running on iPhone with iOS 14.6.)
Note:
• Not an issue for me, but the instructions, etc., are in British English. For example “holiday” instead of “vacation.”
