Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this! I like being able to control my heat or air when I’m away from home.

This thermostat does "everything" and was very easy to install.

The product was very simple to install. Happy with my experience.

so far, it works great, i turn my AC off during daytime,

This smart thermostat is a great alternative if you don’t have the exact power wire you need for all of the other smart thermostats. It is super easy to install and set up.

It was an easy install and I really like the convenience of it.

Love this Wi Fi enabled device... can control with Alexa

Good value with out all the whistles like others ok overall

Just what I've been needing to know what the humidity is

Nice tremostat, just wish there were more settings

Money well spent, easy too use connected too the whole family's phone

Bought 2, Love them. Can control remotely from anywhere in the world. As long as you have internet.

Great basic thermostat. I have one in my house and bought a second for my parents. With a $50 rebate, it’s a no brained for a smart thermostat.

As an hvac contractor, Emerson is the only thermostat I recommend and have been installing them for 35 years.

This Sensi thermostat has a component app for your phone that makes it very easy to set up on WiFi once you've wired it. The manual is pretty thorough and guides you through the mechanical parts of installation, pretty easy if you're handy with basic tools and wiring. Even though it's not a touch screen the menu is easy to access with the buttons, and the screen is pretty large and easy to read. The real magic is in the app--it's great to able to check your house from remote locations and switch your AC or heat settings. The schedules and settings are a little tricky but with some trial and error it's not too bad to get things set up for your own lifestyle. You can create separate schedules and temp settings for cooling or heating, and vary the settings by the day of the week. You can also let the system turn itself on to counter high humidity, above and beyond the regular schedules. I like the ability to lock the panel so kids or employees can't change the settings on you. What is also a big plus is that you can install the app on more than one phone so others can also check or change settings at will. And you can add other Sensi thermostats to your account so you can manage more than one system. Even set service reminders for check-ups and filter changes. It was also fairly easy to add the thermostat to devices controlled with Alexa. You do the usual matching of your Sensi account to your Alexa Amazon account, enable the skill in the Alexa app, make sure the phone and thermostat are connected to the same wifi access point, and "find" the thermostat. Of course--this now allows others to change the settings on the system so think twice about it if your kids are always messing with the thermostat. This Sensi thermostat cost less than the competing brand I used for a couple years and the features are far superior. I've also managed these same units where I work and they have been very reliable. A great product.

Keeps blowing hot or cold wouldn’t auto turn off. After manually turn off fan would blow hot or cold. Not sure problem but gots to go back.

This thermostat is a game changer for anyone who hasn’t updated to a wifi thermostat. This is my first “smart” thermostat and I have to say I really like it. Installation was pretty easy, and I’ve never really dealt much with AC thermostats before. For my particular house and wiring, the color coding and bracket installation was pretty straightforward. Once I had it hooked up, I began the setup with the app which is also simple. Once I was connected to wifi I had full control from my phone. First off, the look of the thermostat is combination of traditional and modern. I like it because its not too flashy. It has a blacklit screen which is great (an obvious but highly needed feature), and its intuitive to use. Buttons are clearly labeled and there aren’t too many of them. Using the app is just as simple if not easier. You setup your schedules if you want them, control temps on the fly, can view your energy usage, and change what is on display of the unit. It also has a built-in AC Protection feature that is supposed to help prevent potential damage by controlling how it turns on and off. My two favorite features are being able control temps from anywhere and being able to lock the thermostat. The former is for obvious reasons, but in my case I don’t use the scheduler (yet) and sometimes if I forgot to turn the AC up I can do it from anywhere basically or I can turn it down when I’m headed home to start getting the house cool. The latter would have been amazing when I had roommates, basically it locks the thermostat so no one can change the temps or settings. I’m sure this would benefit some parents who don’t like their kids fiddling with the temperatures as they please. One thing I do wish it had an option for, was to allow other users to have access to the thermostat through the app. I’m not quite sure if this is an option or not, but I haven’t seen that capability yet. Would be nice to allow others to have access who live there too without sharing a single account. Maybe even have certain roles assignments that allow different levels of access. Overall, I think it’s a fantastic upgrade and a must-have for anyone living in the 21st century. You really can’t go wrong and it seems like it’ll help you save cost through better control and prevent hardware damage done by another thermostat that inefficiently controls its on/off function.

Good price bad quality easy to setup wifi internet loses connection each time turn on

This review is regarding the Sensi Smart Programmable Wi-Fi Thermostat. I was a bit nervous about whether I could install this myself or not. I’m pretty good at DYI but for some reason, I wasn’t sure with the wires and all. But instructions were very clear and took me step by step to getting it done right the first time. It took me about 45 minutes from the time I turned off the circuit breaker to getting the thermostat and app all set up and working. So not bad at all and much better than I expected. It uses 2 AA batteries as backup just like my previous one. This has some features which I really like, such as the dehumidification. This can help to remove humidity from the area, I find this amazing. It’s showing my level is fine so I haven’t needed it yet but just good to know it’s there. It’s also great that it’s quick and easy to tell if you are using heat or ac by just looking at the color on the app. Other features I find helpful: the lockout feather is great and keeps my children from changing the temporary when all they need is to put on a long sleeve shirt. You can set it to hold a certain temp and hold it there to bypass your regular setting. I think this will help me a lot on days that I am working from home and weather isn’t great. Of course it works great with my Alexa and Google. I use to get nervous going away for winter months, keeping the heat at a constant temp in case it gets really cold. So I’m really excited about being able to use the app whether I am home or not and to make sure my home will be safe and warm. It’s important to be sure to download the Sensi app and create an account there before starting anything as it guides you step by step very clearly. So far, it’s great and I love it. I’m going to watch it for a couple more weeks and then if it all continues to work well and as expected I will get one for downstairs too. Using app is great, helpful and simple to use and setup.

The Emerson Sensi Smart device has been fun to use. Setup - In the box, you basically get the device itself and the manual. Setup is not too hard if you’re okay with connecting wires. You have to turn off the power in your home to do the installation. Once you have the power off, you can remove your old thermostat. I’d take a picture of the wires so you know where to plug in the new ones. The diagram they give you will work if you follow their instructions. Once it’s powered on, you go through the app you download to complete the setup. Use - I love that now I can use my phone to set up schedules and maintain my home’s temperature from anywhere. There has been times where I forget to turn the air up while I’m away to save energy. Now, I can do that. Style - I will say the the style is not that great. It’s your typical looking thermostat. I guess you could probably paint it. It does blend in well with my paint on the wall in my home though. So I can’t complain. All in all, this thermostat does the job well.
