Customers value the easy installation, remote control, and energy-saving features of the smart thermostat. The app is also considered user-friendly. However, some customers have concerns about compatibility issues and the lack of a C wire, while others find the size to be smaller than expected.
I originally purchased the ecobee3 before going with the Honeywell. The ecobee3 was never accurate, when it came to temperature readings. I am convinced of the fact that, since the thermostat unit of the ecobee3 got unusually warm, this threw off the temp readings. I did purchase it due to its home integration and learning capabilities, but it does take a long time to learn and no one house is built the same. So I decided to purchase and stick with the Honeywell and am so glad I did. This thermostat has all of the features of the others, with the exception of the learning aspect. Honeywell still has home integration features, scheduling, wi-fi, color touchscreen, great aesthetics and it is very simple to operate. The free Honeywell downloadable App is seamless, simple and works great, literally from anywhere. If you are looking to replace an old thermostat, I highly suggest the Honeywell. Caution, you need to make sure that your current thermostat wire consists of at least 4 wires, which will include the needed common wire, to power the thermostat. My home was not equipped with this, but it was a cinch to replace my old 3 wire cable with 4 wire cable. You can purchase thermostat wire at your local home depot or lowes, by the foot, for about $.20/ft.

Easy to install, I have a heat pump and with a little searching through the installation guide, was able to find the proper way to wire it. The programming is even easier, the system walks you through your wake , leave, and sleep times , simply adjust temps on each one and done!!! Installed the app on both my wife and My phones in minutes, it's so nice to be able to adjust the temp from my phone , oh and the different colors are a nice touch
