I'm very happy with my new smart thermostat!"

"After using one of these at our old house, I bought three for my new home with three HVAC systems. They were easy to install and very user-friendly.

Controlling them with Alexa is also straightforward once you learn the phrases!"

"I really like the thermostat, and the installation was simple thanks to the Sensi help videos. However, I've had some trouble with the software. My new phone lost contact with the thermostat even though it was nearby and connected to a good router. The app sometimes asks for a password and claims it's wrong, but it usually reconnects the next day."

"I bought this to replace my 20-year-old Honeywell thermostat. Unfortunately, I’ve been having heating issues for the past 45 days. It heats the house about 10 degrees higher than the set temperature, which has left my upstairs tenants roasting. I'm really disappointed."

"I appreciate that I can now let the temperature rise while I’m at work, and I've noticed my electric usage has decreased. This thermostat works great, especially since my fiancée works from home two days a week."

"I own four Honeywell thermostats and they’re fantastic. Wifi access allows me to control them remotely, which is crucial since I travel often. The design is petit and attractive, and the customizable screen colors are a nice touch. I had a professional install three of them, which was worth it because of the wiring complexity. Just a heads up, they require a C Common wire for power, unlike older models."

"My experience was mostly positive. Setting up the internet connection was straightforward and adjusting the settings was easy. I did face some installation challenges when replacing an old Trane thermostat. Customer service initially said it wouldn’t work, but after some research, I figured it out. The display is nice and user-friendly for programming my needs."

"I wanted a thermostat that could control aux heat and I chose Honeywell because they’re known for quality. This unit has great features, like WIFI capabilities and customizable backgrounds. I can adjust the schedule from anywhere, which is super convenient. Overall, I’m very pleased, although I did have to pay extra for a white unit instead of grey."

"I wanted something simple, and that's exactly what I got. The installation was a breeze, but I found the setup instructions a bit overly complex and poorly worded. Most just want their heater or AC to turn on at a set temperature, and the instructions focused too much on programming."

"After my old thermostat broke, I needed a replacement and found this one. It was easy to install and operates very well. Plus, it's very cost-efficient."

"This thermostat works perfectly in my RV. The old ones were terrible, but this one installed without issues and keeps the heat exactly where I set it. My only minor complaint is that the on/off switch at the bottom is a bit small and fiddly to use."

"I found the installation very straightforward. The customer service was incredibly helpful, guiding me through any questions I had. The display and functionality are impressive, making me happy with my choice."

"With 30 years of HVAC experience, I was genuinely impressed by this thermostat. I appreciated the solid feel and affirmative buttons. It was easy to wire, and the backlight is soft and readable. The layout is intuitive, and I loved the thermometer calibration feature that separates technician adjustments from homeowner settings. I even bought five more as backup!"

"I found this thermostat to be very easy to program. After inserting the batteries, I was able to program it while sitting comfortably. The LCD display size is perfect, and the installation was straightforward thanks to the clear wiring diagrams. At the price I paid, I couldn't be happier and would recommend it to anyone needing a quality replacement."

"I installed this myself, and the instructions were clear. The kit included everything I needed, even the jump-wire and labels. The battery compartment design is a great feature, minimizing damage risk. Since installation, it's worked flawlessly, and I was able to adjust the temperature variance easily.
