Purchase from Best Buy website was smooth and secure. The product arrived sooner than BB said it would. Under promise and over deliver. Thermostat arrived undamaged and in secure protective packaging. Very pleased with Best Buy.

I love it. This is my third one after purchasing NEST and I am very happy with it. It was recommend to me after having another NEST product go belly up.
Sensi has an app and I love this option. I have three floors and it's PERFECT to adjust temperature from the comfort of my bed.

We appreciate your review of our Sensi Lite Smart Thermostat. However, we apologize for any confusion regarding the "C" wire requirement. When installed to heat-only, cool-only, or heat pump system, the Sensi does require a "C" wire in order to maintain Wi-Fi connection. Thank you for your review and have a great day.

I didn't like the product. However, the thermostat drops the Wi-F signal almost immediately after connecting. It defeats the purpose. I bought it for remote use. My router is literally next to it. The temperature reading wasn't correct either.

Hi Anita, we appreciate your review, however we apologize for any confusion on on the set up process. We do not require Sensi to be used with smart home devices. You do need to download the Sensi App for install and to control it remotely though. Thank you and have a great day.

The Emerson Sensi Lite Smart Thermostat is a reliable and user-friendly device that brings convenience and energy efficiency to your home heating and cooling system. With its sleek design and intuitive interface, it is an excellent addition to any modern smart home.
Installation of the Sensi Lite is straightforward and doesn't require professional assistance. The thermostat is compatible with most heating and cooling systems, including gas, oil, electric, and heat pump systems, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of households. The included step-by-step installation guide and compatibility checker provide helpful assistance during the setup process.
Once installed, connecting the Sensi Lite to your home's Wi-Fi network is a breeze. The Sensi mobile app, available for both iOS and Android devices, allows you to control and monitor your thermostat remotely. Whether you're at work or on vacation, you can easily adjust the temperature, set schedules, and track energy usage from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet.
The Sensi Lite's interface is intuitive and user-friendly. The backlit display provides clear visibility, even in low-light conditions, and the touch-sensitive buttons make it easy to navigate through the settings. The on-screen prompts guide you through the programming process, ensuring you can quickly customize your temperature settings and schedules to suit your lifestyle.
One of the standout features of the Sensi Lite is its energy-saving capabilities. The thermostat offers flexible scheduling options, allowing you to set different temperature profiles for various times of the day. This feature enables you to optimize your HVAC system's operation and reduce energy consumption when you're away from home, ultimately saving you money on your utility bills. Additionally, the Sensi Lite provides energy usage reports, giving you insights into your heating and cooling patterns and helping you make informed decisions about your energy consumption.
Another notable feature is the compatibility with voice control systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. You can effortlessly adjust the temperature by simply using voice commands, adding an extra layer of convenience to your smart home setup.
While the Sensi Lite offers a solid performance overall, it lacks some of the advanced features found in higher-end smart thermostats. For instance, it doesn't include features like geofencing or learning algorithms that adapt to your behavior over time. However, considering its affordable price point, it delivers an excellent value for its functionality.
In conclusion, the Emerson Sensi Lite Smart Thermostat is a reliable and cost-effective choice for those looking to upgrade their home's HVAC control to a smart system. Its easy installation, intuitive interface, remote control capabilities, and energy-saving features make it a practical and user-friendly option. Whether you're a tech-savvy homeowner or just starting to explore the world of smart home devices, the Sensi Lite is a solid choice that won't disappoint.

I have been wanting a smart thermostat for some time, and yes, this is my first experience with one; but, after getting this up and running I can easily say I am quite happy not only with how it works, but the setup and the design as well.
For me, one of the things that kept me away was the thought of installation. Here, I think they did an excellent job of making that as painless as possible. I did check some compatibility issues beforehand, but other than that I mostly went in blind. Sensai, and the app, guides you the process from start to finish, and I had zero issues getting everything connected and attached. Of course, your situation may be different, but I do think most would be fine given how well they explain the process.
Once physically connected and attached, getting connected to my network was also a simple, no issues process for me. From there I got everything into my Google account, and I was good to go. While I do think Sensai has done a solid job with their app, and the Google integration is good, part of me wonders how tight the integration would be with a Google thermostat. That is a thought for another time.
As for the unit itself, simply, I think it looks great. As to my above point, one of the main reasons I preferred this model was the design. Simple. Clean. Black. Nice fonts. Nice graphics. Perfect for me. All in all, I could not be happier with how it looks on my wall. Build-wise, it is more of the same. It is a nice weight, seems solid, and I can’t imagine I will ever really have any issues.
The unit is easy to use, on the unit itself, or via the app. For me though, and despite everything I have mentioned and liked so far, the main reason for this move was for better control. Being able to schedule, have routines, and to simply be able to have control when out of the house was what I was looking for. Not only for a better peace of mind, and for environmental concerns, but also to potentially save some money. Time will tell, but I am optimistic.
Ultimately, I really like this thermostat. Install was easy, it looks great, it is simple to use, it works with Google, and it gives me the control I was looking for. All in all, I could not be happier.

The Emerson Sensi Lite smart thermostat is a great smart thermostat with lots of options for programming and with an easy installation making it easy to get into the smart home scene. Prior to getting this I would highly recommend checking that this thermostat is compatible with your specific heating/cooling unit otherwise you can run into issues or this will just not work with your house. Otherwise, as long as this is compatible with your house, the installation and setup is a breeze, the application will walk you through step-by-step on installing the thermostat and getting it set up for use.
Once you have the unit installed you then have the option of programming schedules with several different options including being able to drop the temperature when no one is in the house and raising it as you come home. For me, with my wife home most of the day I just set up a simple schedule to keep the house cool during the day and slightly less cool at night when the temperature is already down.
I really like the look of the thermostat itself and I think it fits in really well with my house and looks good without being intrusive. If anyone is looking for a smart thermostat I really think this is a great device for anyone.
