    Battery lasted three months then it became a fun paperweight. Actually I threw it out. Avoid at all costs save your hard earned money.

    Cheap thing never worked

    This thermostat sucks. For one, it doesn't turn, it instead has a "touch bar." You are supposed to know to touch the side of it to interact with it. The screen is not a touch screen. That's fine, but none of my guests are ever going to be able figure out how to use it. You can see the square lcd panel behind the round mirror finish front. It looks cheap. When I was trying to set it up, I got an error, "Sorry, G Suite accounts can't be used for migration." None of the support people could help.

    Hope you don't like to choose your own temp!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    HATE IT!!!! It automatically changes the temperature to whatever the heck it wants whenever it wants and you don't know until you are uncomfortable. I have set a schedule for the temp for every single day of the week, turned off presence detection and everything but still it changes randomly. This is the worst smart thermostat I've ever owned.

    It will break and cause a hassle for you.

    It tries to do fancy things, but it is made of cheap components that break and make it bad at being either a smart or dumb thermostat.

    Junk

    Very disappointed. Ready to put it back in the box and return it. Other than the good looks this device is a total junk. Impossible to set constantly having to close the app and reopen it in order to get an accurate reading.
