Worked Great for 8 Months

Bought this 8 months ago. Worked great with no problems, then all of a sudden the wifi will not stay connected. I get nuisance emails from Honeywell telling me that it's not connected. Will not connect using Honeywell app when it used to work great. Called Honeywell (and after being on hold for an hour) and they were, of course, no use at all - claimed it was my wifi that was "bad"! Go figure.
Sorry folks, but I cannot recommend this T-stat. And Honeywell support is useless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi fivestringer, we are sorry that you feel this way. Please make sure that you are using a 2.4 GHz only network with no extenders or repeaters. Our Support Center link at the top of the page has all the ways you can get in contact with us to discuss where the issue may be.
The one star is just for the convenience of the WiFi. For the rest the old one this replaces was controlling the humidity and was working perfectly. This one "Smart Thermostat" TH8321 even if it reports the possibility to program the humidity control in the manual, the function do not even appear following the instructions. Impossible to contact Honeywell nor installaror can explain why this happens. Expensive junk!
I have that device now for a few weeks, lost connection after 2 days, reconnected many times, doesn't help. Device says it's connected, app says NO. Support only available if you're willing to wait more than 90 minutes. Contractor installed it with brand new A/C, now I need to get him to replace it with something useful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have three of these thermostats, all are four years old. Two are fine, so far. However, one has lost wi-fi connectivity, will not take the wi-fi password (the other two do) and now has quit running the furnace.

Said it was brand new, but it had been programmed already as a heat pump - began blowing hot air despite the cool being on - had to call a technician to reprogram.
I bought a townhouse with this already installed...transferring everything to me was no problem. I have issues only when I lose the internet other than that it has been a good thermostat that I can control from anywhere as long as there is internet connectivity.
