Great, but not as simple to install as it sounds

I want to give it 5 stars, but...it's a bear to install if you don't have a c-wire. I literally don't have a C-wire on my HVAC control board, so I had to do a lot of internet searching to get it figured out. Not all HVAC systems are the same. 2-1/2 hours later and I'm still not 100% sure I installed it like a professional would, but my furnace and the thermostat have worked for the last 3 weeks. It's so easy to use and to set schedules. I love it, but can't give it 5 stars only because of the installation issue.
Temperature at your fingertips...Love this gadget!

I bought this because I wanted to come home to a warm house. I wanted to try to install this myself and I was able to with no problem by following the step by step process and watching the "show me" videos provided. I am NOT tech-savvy nor am I an electrician but I felt comfortable installing this. (I felt like a genius once the installation was complete and passed the testing process) Very easy to install and works great! I love that I can control the temperature by using the app on my phone so when I'm on my way home I can adjust the temperature as needed so by the time I get home, my house is nice and toasty!
I wanted to love my new Wyze thermostat, but I don't really care for it as is. I don't like the temperature swing. My family reports being either cold or hot, not just right. This was not a problem with my Sensi. I also don't like the way it controls my fan. I don't know why it was designed to work that way. I don't want a blast of cold air every time my furnace runs. And finally, I have a two-stage furnace / AC that was never addressed when setting up the Wyze. I feel like my two stages are not being utilized, and even worse possibly being damaged by the Wyze thermostat. I really love the Wyze platform and wanted to use the thermostat but don't want to damage my equipment or be uncomfortable. Also, it would be nice to see the temperature in red or blue (if running) on the home tab.

Decided to upgrade to a smart thermostat. Got it a few weeks ago and was dreading the install. Couldn’t of been easier in my option. Took maybe 15 minutes, can’t wait to see how it holds up. We’re loving all the Wyze products!!
For $50 it's unbeatable! Works just like advertised, easy to install, easy app to use, and very convenient. EVERYTHING works perfect and it looks so nice and clean! The wyze app walks you through every step of the install and makes it super easy for someone who has never installed a thermostat before.
Installed two in my house in under and hour. Like all wyze products I've bought so far, well designed (both physically and functionally). As I've only had them installed for a month, looking forward to seeing the feedback/diagnostics going forward.
I was so disappointed that are two-wire thermostat wasn’t comparable. I truly understand. Please let me know if you will be designing a thermostat that has its own battery.
