    The thermostat looks very nice, easy to install and use. I don't recommend it because I had already heard that they get damaged very quickly and for the price it is very delicate and gets damaged very quickly. I've only had it for 3 months and it's already damaged.

    Overall Good! Much better than our old one to help regulate the house temp but still someone difficult with a two story house and only one thermostat controlling the HVAC instead of two zones. Being able to use an app is a real game changer though.
