    I skeptical at first, but this smart thermostat really does help keep our west central Florida home at a more constant temp. Summers are brutal in Pinellas County, Florida. It's nice that we can set the air higher when we are away and then pop on the app and have our home comfortable when we arrive.

    I really like this thermostat. It provides better information than my last Google thermostat. That said, I had to have my son, who is much more tech savvy than I am, do all the set up in the Google home app. I probably could’ve done it in a day, but he did it in an hour. Still I really do recommend this thermostat.

    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.
