I have two of these thermostats and I am pleased with their performance. However, they are installed in a vacation home in a cold climate. When I am away, I prefer a temperature setting of 40 degrees to conserve fuel. This thermostat cannot be set lower than 50 degrees which results in a waste of energy. I have noticed that most other thermostats can be set as low as 40 degrees, so why the 50 degree limitation?
We’ve had this thermostat for about a year and it has never been reliable. We recently got a new Wi-Fi router and forget about it. You need to go through the entire installation process over again, including entering the old wiring and disassembling the thermostat to enter the existing wiring. This is an absurd process just to change Wi-Fi setting. I would have paid double for a product that worked if I knew this was how usable the product was. I have given up on Wyze over this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I found out about this thermostat after I had purchased a Nest 3rd Gen and figured I would give it a shot as it was much cheaper than the Nest. I wound up keeping it and returning the Nest. It has all the features that I liked about the Nest plus more. I especially like the Geo fencing feature that will automatically adjust the temperature settings when I leave the my apartment and again when it "sees" I'm returning. It's a fantastic thermostat given the price and features. After setting up the profiles, scheduling, and Geo fencing feature (or Auto Switch) I never have to touch the physical unit or pull up the app. So far it has been working flawlessly
