the hardware, instructions and ease of installation are all top notch but the interface with the app is substandard. Unfortunately, I have been completely unable to connect one of three T9s to my account and so cannot control that unit remotely, and I have been unable to successfully invite any other family members to join the account as "users".
It's very annoying that the App continuously locks you out, it does not hold a username or password so they both need to be re-entered every time. Additionally, it has a Pass Code feature which also does not work. No matter how many times you set your pass code it does not take it. When this happens it kicks you back out to the Original login screen. Note: once you turn on Pass Code as a feature you can't turn it off, even though the app allows you to shut it off, it does not, it still requires it. Finally it has a Biometric fingerprint feature to get in but based on the other two methods not working there's no way I would even turn that feature on. They need their programmers to make the app comparable quality to the actual Thermostat. If you don't care about WIFI/mobile phone access to your thermostat, the actual physical T9 thermostats and Sensors are good. Dear Honeywell, this isn't an online banking app, knock of the unnecessary security features that don't work!
I have two hvac units and cant make both work together. please update software to sync with other thermostats and then it is a SEVEN (5) STAR thermostat hands down!
Resideo promised this product would be updated to deliver Apple HomeKit compatibility by the end of 2019. I bought it knowing that could easily be an empty promise, and sure enough it was. It's a decent, but not great, wifi thermostat with a below-average app, but Resideo is not a trustworthy company.r
