The manual controls are poor. No option in remote sensors. Lack of ability to pull temp and humidity data from device to non-wyze systems (i.e. Nodered). Ability to control temp via non-wyze system would be nice (Home Assistant, Nodered,etc) Install was easy, but testing the AC when its freezing out...not good. Price is good! Wyze app controls are great!
Screen is glitching, inside temperature bounces around constantly. Boiler kicks on and off constantly. Definitely issues with this.
Careful evaluation shows this thing is flawed. Sorry, need to return and buy a different brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback and have a great day!
I will cut right to the chase... Overall, just like all of Wyze's products, this thermostat is an amazing value. Unfortunately there is one glaring flaw that I really hope they will fix: In "Auto" mode, there is a 5 degree separation between the "heat to" and "cool to" values... I have never seen this in any other thermostat. This makes this thermostat extremely annoying for me to use because I constantly have to adjust it... My house stays at the perfect temperature when I have a thermostat where I can set "heat to 66" "cool to 68", but that is not possible with this thermostat, so I can't just leave it set and forget it.... This is particularly annoying me right now as we are having really cold nights but warm days. This means I have to adjust this thermostat twice a day instead of the ZERO times a day of any other thermostat.
If you only have heat to control, this isn't a problem, but if you are like me and have heat and A/C, this just creates unnecessary extra work in what is supposed to be a product that ADDS conevnience, this product SUBTRACTS convenience for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This thermostat reads 4 degrees F higher than my old one and the temperature correction setting does not work.

Some would argue the greatest invention ever is the TV remote control. It is hard now to imagine having to get up and go to the TV to change the volume or channel, At its very least the Wyze provides the same capability for home temperature. Movie is on, house is cold, I just grab my phone and dial up a few degrees. Yes it can and does do much more, but if all it did was allow you to change the heating or cooling, from anywhere, it is worth the price.
Overall and good product. Installation wise, it’s technically “plug and play” but it stills requires some additional research outside of the directions. Additionally, features seem very basic, they cover the essentials, but it doesn’t seem to be able to compete with the other “big name” brands out there. If this is your first smart thermometer, it’s perfect feature-wise, but do some homework prior to starting the installation process.
Works well for the price. Acts as a bare bones version of the major competitors at less than half the cost. I personally am using it (them) for the zones in my HVAC. My primary is one of the competitors but if this was an option when I purchased originally, I would have used Wyze.
