The thermostat install process was great. Well documented and easy to follow step by step. Very impressed w/ the app to install. Once installed, it was a little confusing to set up the temp, time, triggers. There are schedules, rules, location, time. Wish there were instructions on how to use it. I had to call help desk and they helped me through the set up step by step (which was super helpful). I mean, I just wanted to set up for home/away/sleep based on time and if my phone was away, then, it should put to away. Something that most people would use it for.
We are able to use Alexa verbally, we are able to use the Wyze app, and we are able to use the device manually to adjust the temperature settings. This is a very nice and affordable way to have this feature in our home.
The actual equipment doesn't have a very durable feel to it and the button wasn't working until I restarted my furnace three times. The interface is great and worked solidly even though the unit itself wasn't working right. Now everything is working properly and I glad I purchased it, but the initial experience could lead people to not like it.
This is the second thermostat we've bought (house has two HVAC units). Love them! They are simple and look good and I do most of the changes on my phone. When we had to replace one of the furnaces recently the HVAC guy was impressed with the setup. Also have sprinkler controller, video doorbell, cameras and watches
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.
