Wyze does a really good job of protecting you from yourself. Before they even let you buy the thermostat, they make sure you check that it is compatible. And once you begin the install, Wyze does a great job of prompting you to do things which will help you recover in case things go sideways, like taking pictures of your current wiring.
If I had one complaint, it would be a little bit of explanation if some wiring doesn't look exactly as it's shown on their diagrams. So an informational text box would help on some of the letter abbreviations on the thermostat or furnace panel to ensure confidence when installing.
Aside from that, everything is very well thought out and the thermostat works as promised.
Thermostat is modern looking and updated. Installation was easy and fast. Product works great too. Having it connected to wifi is great for warming up your house before you get home.
Overall a great product that works as designed. The scheduling is straight forward and intuitive to use via the app, the thermostat itself is not to difficult to figure out - push the knob and turn as appropriate.
What is keeping it from 5 stars? Loses Wifi connectivity more than other Wyze product I own (I have over a dozen of them). I have two in two different homes on two completely different ISPs - it's not the networks, it is this device. It just loses the wifi connectivy, if you are home no biggie - pull it off the plate and put it back on. On the second house where I could not get to easily it was disconnected for a week, I rebooted Starlink remotely and no dice, then magically several days later it came back online. Other issue which is more minor is the usage stats - can't be trusted, I've seen it say my heat has run for 18 hours in a day and since I was home I know that not to be true. Overall a solid product though.
I bought this in order to use a Wyze credit I received after a previous purchase. I've had it for about 3 weeks and it works how you'd expect. I would prefer it if the display cycled between displaying the current temperature and the time as my old programmable thermostat did, but overall, I'm pleased.
Disappointed that no matter what we tried we could not get to sink with our Trane furnace. Not compatible.
