When we have google or Alexa to turn the system on or off, it changes the priority from our preferred setting to the default setting. Also, we can’t use google or Alexa to change the temperature unless we set up a routine for every specific temperature we want to set.
This thermostat with the room sensor is great. The thermostat is in the hallway but we are in the bedroom. Now our bedroom is the temperature that the thermostat is set at. Strongly recommend this product.
I have used a variety of smart thermostats. Honeywell plays well with all configurations of HVAC. I rehab a house every year. Some flips, some rentals. This thermostat gives me best lockout options for an airbnb plus handles heat pumps + air. My/most hvac guys prefer honeywell. Fair price with the smart options I sometimes need. Can have all my houses on the same software and consistent thermostat everywhere regardless on config.
