Like-New Amazon Smart Thermostat – ENERGY STAR certified, DIY install, Works with Alexa – C-wire required

I’d been holding off on buying this thermostat for quite some time based on reviews and even considered other pricier brands for the same reason but I finally decided to give it a try because I’m sick of having to go over to the thermostat and manually adjust it (first world problem right?)I am so pleased with my decision that immediately after installing it, I bought this renewed unit to replace our second thermostat upstairs.Installation was easy and took about 15-20 minutes to install and set up in the app. The unit mounts with 3 screws and anchors, a small screwdriver tool and an optional wall plate. A word of advice - use a better screwdriver because the included tool isn’t great. You’ll also need a drill with a 3/8” bit to assist with the wall anchors.This renewed unit is just as good as the new one I purchased at half the cost! It came with new mounting hardware and when comparing side by side, I could not tell you which one was which. I’d absolutely make the same decision to purchase the renewed unit again.Some of the reviews I’d read in the past mentioned that people had trouble with the app recognizing two thermostats, that was not the case at all with me. It was extremely easy to differentiate in the app and just as easy to control each one.Another review that made me worry about buying this thermostat was that you couldn’t simply tell your Alexa device to adjust the temperature, and that you had to open the app to make adjustments. This problem must have been resolved or a solitary issue because ours works just fine with voice commands.This thermostat does not offer a sensor option to monitor a particular room or area, so if you’re looking for that, you may need to look at other options.As far as smart settings, you have two options. Alexa can learn your routines and track your phone’s location to adjust the temperatures accordingly when you’re home or away. This works best when everyone in the household connects to the app and consents to tracking. It will even adjust the temperature to your desired settings when you’re within a certain range of your home.If this option isn’t for you, it will allow you to set schedules and desired temperature ranges throughout each day of the week. But you’re still able to log into the app and make adjustments when needed.

I had a Nest thermostat at a previous house and really liked it, but I did not want to spend the money again when I moved. This new thermostat worked perfectly and although simpler, does everything I need it to. My wife and I like to be able to control it (fight over the temperature) from our Alexa devices and from our phones and the lack of buttons discourages my daughter from touching it in the hall. A win all around. I bought a refurbished unit but it was good as new— everything I needed was in the box and it looks perfect.

Thermostat works like a basically Thermostat because interaction with hunches as seen in many fourms doesn't work well... you could set a schedule but my old one had a schedule setup. I was looking for something that would work better than a schedule since my hours of being home change all the time. So when I leave hunches is suppose to pick up on that and set my thermostat on away temp. Same for sleep... it's set itself to sleep while I was away but barely picks up when I'm away properly. I've called tech and they just sent me to some other company who only had me reset router and thermostat and that's about all they can do. I have researched it and had little luck other than being told Amazon tech logs in logs and a few days later everyone says it works. So far I'm not getting the same support and feel stuck debating installing my previous honeywell thermostat back up. (Update) after much troubleshooting on my own, I called back to customer support and informed them of my previous attempts and what all I have done and about the fourms I read that seem to fix the issue. I asked that we troubleshoot it and if we can't fix it that I get a refund. Customer service went straight into refund with not attempt to fix it. Then told me they would return the funds as credit as that's how I purchased it and that it would take 3 to 4 days after I send it back before I get a refund... my response was so I'm suppose to wait for the refund before I can order a new thermostat and then wait for deliever of a new one without their attempt to troubleshoot and basically go a week without a thermostat... answer was yes. Support was worthless and so was this thermostat... spend the extra money and get a google nest or ecobee... you'll be glad you did to avoid Customer service for a bit that works as it is attended too.

I recently was replacing my Honeywell Thermostat of 10 years because of the Wifi failing to connect. I purchased a newer one similar to the old one from Lowes for about $200. Before I installed it, I was looking online here and found this little guy. It was real reasonable at just around $50. I ordered it and to my surprise, it is awesome. It is sleek and clean looking. The connectivity and app options are more than I could ask for. Not to mention it communicates with my Alexa Echoes in the house and asks a a remote temperature sensor. That feature is an added cost on the ones from Lowes. I am sure this little guys does a lot more than I understand at this point, but the programming daily temps, wireless access, being able to tell Alexa to change the temp from any room using voice, predictive temp changes, and monitoring from the app while away are all things I love about this little guy. It came with everything needed to install it and I was able to install it myself and save $100 installation charge offered at Lowes. I can't say enough great things about this Thermostat.

This is the second one I have purchased and the other has been running about 1 yr. The only real problem was I had to return a unit that would not connect during setup. This one came 2 days later works fine. I like being able to connect over the internet so when I am away I can prepare the temperature over the internet for a comfortable arrival.
