Honeywell Wi-Fi 7-Day Programmable Smart Thermostat

Pros: Easy to setup and use Decent remote application software Great price for the features Reliable wireless Cons: It looks “dated” but honestly I don’t mind. It blends in with the typical thermostat look. Pressing a button when the backlight is off makes a change to the thermostat. Not ideal when you need to read the screen because it’s dark. Programmable settings should have an option to turn on the circulator fans. Some people like me would like to circulate the air occasionally without using heat/AC. Overall Review: To everyone thinking about purchasing this: You NEED a “C” wire to power this unit. It will not run off batteries like the basic thermostats. I knew this when I bought it and replaced my 4-wire setup with a 5-wire that had the “C” power line. This is not a disadvantage because the last thing you want is your batteries dying when you need them the most.

Pros: We are using these Wi-Fi thermostats for monitoring our church. We can check the function of the heating system from home and make scheduling changes from a computer or smart phone. We used to drive to church at 6:00am on a Sunday to make sure everything with the heating was working properly. Now, check with smart phone and go back to bed. We are using 3 of these and all 3 show up on 1 screen. If power goes out, we get an e-mail notification that we lost Wi-Fi connection. These are great. Cons: A little difficult to get up and running but if you are the type that reads instructions, following the instructions step by step does work well. Overall Review: Highly recommend. Newegg has the best price.
