I have mixed thoughts about this thermostat. It is highly programmable which is good if you come and go a lot. It is also good if you are like to sleep in a cooler room or want to reduce heating costs by wearing a sweater. On the other hand, we have a variable speed fan that is controlled by the thermostat but does not appear to be programmable. At first, this fan ran at top speed continually. Even though I did not intend to use the cellphone app, I did install it. Now the fan comes off and on as I had expected. I still can't program the fan but it is controlled.
The Apple App installation instructions are wrong.

Our contractor installed this T6 in our new home. The unit itself is simple to use, the UI is basic and easy to learn.
The Apple App on the other hand was a pain... it would not connect to the T6. I tried to contact Resideo Tech Support but the telephone wait was over an hour. So I delayed the install until I had the time to waste on the telephone. In the mean time I loaded the Apple App on an iPad, it reacted differently but still would not connect to the T6.
After another one-hour plus wait on the telephone I finally reached a service rep, she had a French accent, charming but sometimes difficult to understand. We walked through the installation several times, still no joy in connecting to the T6.
I then allowed the rep to connect to my iPhone camera allowing her to watch both the T6 and my iPad during the installation, two more times trying to connect, we realized there was a step missing in the instructions to repeat a button press on the T6...
Finally connected, the App is a disappointment versus the Nest App that I previously used, but it did allow me to set a schedule and to instantaneously change the setting of the T6. Hopefully future versions of the App will be more robust.
The unit wouldn’t follow the app until I used the Apple Home app. I’ve never heard of that app, I Shouldn’t have needed to use it to make my thermostat talk to your app.
