    The instruction on how to replace it with the old thermostat was clear, but unfortunately, the good setup process was not very straightforward. Took me multiple tries for it to show up on my google home app and connect it with amazon's alexa

    Works OK but unfortunately, I needed something that could run on battery only because my home's heating is not wired correctly. I ended up spending $1K to have a heating contractor re-wire before this would work properly.

    Not as good as the old Nest E thermostat. I like the look more, but this one didn't work with my system. I also don't like that it doesn't come with a base plate and it doesn't allow you to use temp sensors, or just run your fan.

    Does everything it needs to while looking classy. Only slight con is that it is not a rotating bezel. However, you end up using your phone or just asking Google to change your temperature anyways so there's no need to physically touch the thermostat.

    Great alternative to the really expensive version. I got this programmable thermostat so I could turn it up or down from my phone when I was away from home. I wanted it to save energy and to be convenient, but I could't afford the pricey model. This was just what I needed, and with the Ameren incentive program, I got a $100 rebate. You can't beat that.

    Bought two of these, one for downstairs and one for upstairs. They work seamlessly and easy to read and navigate through. I love the fact that they are like mirrors when not in use. I installed them myself but I have an electrical background, very easy.

    The thermostat works well, the app is easy to download. You have to read all directions and explore on your own to get a full understanding of how it works. The Eco feature is very nice. Not crazy about the morrow front look but that was the only one in stock.

    Does everything that it is supposed to do. Super easy install, and I think it looks great. I dont have a C-Wire, and it's working fine. Would have been nice if it included anchors for the screws.
