The lithium battery is junk and yes we did have it professionally installed when we purchased our heat pump/ air conditioning. 3 have went out in 18 months. Stay away!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got this with my new system. So far it has been nothing but trouble. Very difficult to program and changes temperature of it's own accord instead of following a program.

This came as part of a new HVAC system installed by a local company. I found that the humidity sensor in the VisionPro is always inaccurate by +20-30 % RH. This problem makes the dehumidification control useless.

I'm an HVAC tech. in S. AZ. This T-stat was pretty friendly as far as install and set up.. If there was one thing I would recommend to home-owners that are going to D.I.Y. ( TURN THE POWER OFF.. ) ( UNPLUG THE FURNACE/ AIR HANDLER)... Take your time.and read the instructions...
I had 4 of these installed in May of 2020. Two control heat pumps at my lake house and the other two control conventional A/C and gas furnaces at my primary residence.
The smart phone app allows me to control all the systems no matter where I am and I have had no failures of any kind. Now, these thermostats are more complex to setup due to the extensive features built in, but it took no more than 10 minutes each for my guys to finish.
These units hold temperature much more accurately than the old mechanical ones and have a Circulation setting in addition to Auto for the fan which will run the fan about 30% of the time regardless of heat or cool operation.
These were professionally installed including the fifth common wire for power with battery backup and I have nothing to complain about. They work very well.
I recently had a problem with my heat pump (it quit working lol) turns out the google nest therm I was using for three years conked out and it blew a resistor on the control board of said heat pump. Didn't use my typical fix-it guy and called the pros. I called ALL the pros in the area-they all agree on two things. Google should stick to emails, and Honeywell is a household name for hvac for a reason. They really are that good.
We bought this for a vacation rental property so we can lock the settings. This way, vacationers can't mess with the setting and put a restriction on the range of temperature. We had an idiot who put the thermostat to ac at 55 degrees and froze a 40 foot line (mostly outside) in 90 degree weather. Hence we went for this thermostat. My only complaint is that the lock feature should be for someone who wants to change it from heat to ac or vise versa. Also, it would be great to create your own password (maybe you can change the password and I just didn't figure that part out). If you set it to partial lock so that someone can change the thermostat from ac to heat, it allows the guest to mess with the rest of the features which can cause problems. Really want a full lock with the option to switch from heat to ac or vise versa.
