My T9s were a gift from my son who has a T10. It took a while to get it to work. Turned out the first one was faulty but the second one is working great. Waiting for a replacement.
I got these to replace Radio Thermostats that are loosing their connectivity. The app is much clearer to use than the prior app. A pleasant surprise was how well the anticipation algorithm works with my steam boiler, adjusting the time to start recovering from nightly setback depending on the weather. 4 stars instead of 5 as I no longer can adjust the program from my laptop -- I have to use either my phone or the thermostat screen.
This thermostat is great. The installation instructions and videos on the website were straight forward and made it easy to install. I appreciated the fact that the c-wire adaptor was included. If you do not have experience with HVAC equipment you may want a professional to install it. Connecting it to WIFI and Alexa was not difficult. I like the geofence control and it seems to work pretty well for me. I did not purchase the additional room sensors but plan to. The reason I rated this 4 stars is that I feel the price for the unit and additional room sensors is on the higher side. I purchased this unit because Honeywell \ Resideo brand have been doing HVAC system controls for a very long time and produce quality components. This thermostat replaced a 40+ year old Honeywell thermostat (that was still working).
This thermostat was easy to install, the set-up instructions were clear and each step went perfectly. The entire installation and set-up took about an hour. It has so many features and options. The app gives me the ability to monitor the temperature and make changes remotely, which is a great feature when travelling. I like the peace of mind knowing the system is running and maintaining the set temperature when I'm away - simply by checking the app.
I installed four T9's to replace Radiothermostat CT-80's since support for these is discontinuing. My observations on the T9 are colored by the features I had with the CT-80.
The T9's usage reports are delayed 24-48 hours and then still only shows usage for the day, not by hour. The ios app lags so that I can pull up the app and it is showing a setting or temperature from the prior day and I have to make a change to something like a sensor setting in order to make the T9 show my current setting/temperature. I imagine it takes some action on the app to make it check with its cloud service that then polls my T9.
Apart from these negatives, the appearance is very clean. I like that it uses remote sensors, although that seems to be becoming a standard feature on smart thermostats.
It prompted me to apply for rebates from San Diego Gas and Electric and I tried to use the smart thermostat links, which eventually took me a connected saving california program which asked for a login without allowing me to create an account. I was still in the Resideo app so I tried to reach them and waited 30 minutes on Resideo's support line before giving up. When I have an hour or two to spare I will try again.
