I can not register my product without consenting to things I should not have to consent to. I will NOT allow you to connect to my WiFi and hack or provide an outlet for others to hack into my other devices through your unsecured servers, apps, software, websites, etc. The device is overly complicated. It is too large and ugly. The fingerprints on the hideous touch screen are just lovely. Again, worst thermostat I have ever used in my 50+ years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi frank69, we are sorry to hear about this. If the thermostat has a blank display we recommend you to check the AC voltage between R and C wires. If the voltage is between 20-30 VAC please reach out to the installer to have the unit replaced, this model has 5 years of warranty. If the voltage is not within that range, the HVAC contractor will have to check the system to verify why it is not providing voltage to the thermostat.
After a few unsuccessful initial attempts to connect to our network we finally figured it out and successfully connected. We really like the ability to view what the system is doing (3 units) while we are away and it gives us a sense of relief to be able to change temps via internet. We still have not figured out how to delete a location that was entered incorrectly but we will eventually we hope.
The second thermostat (replaced under warranty (Jan 25 2021) failed today Dec 29 2023. There was no display on the LCD panel and my support electrician confirmed that the power was OK. He replaced the entire unit which is now working OK and the geothermal is back to normal. I really don’t like this unit but it appears to be the default used by my electrician. Also - how smart is this..? The wifi set up will only connect to a 2.4GHZ spectrum. Took me a while to figure as surely we are all using 5.0 GHZ by now? Honeywell needs to up their game I think!
I didn't have a choice to get this thermostat The company that installed our AC said that it was the only one that would work with our AC unit which is ridiculous this thermostat continues to disconnect from the Wi-Fi and it sucks please fix this for as much as the thermostat is in price I expect better.
