    Easy install overall the reason for a 4 star review is the wifi set up. It had a very hard time connecting to my wifi. Took a very long and frustrating process, not sure if something can be done about it.

    Hard to get it programmed. My app keeps saying that it cannot connect and the last time I tried it said it is not compatible with the wiring at my house. Pain in the butt. I went to send it back and was informed that it was too late and the "return window" passed by 2 days. I have had several people try to do it so that took time, plus I am in the middle of moving and construction.

    Bought this as a gift. Giving it four stars because it seems you can put a pass code on this revision unlike the old one. It’s a bit harder to figure out how to use compared to the old one as well.

    Love having a schedule and using my phone and Google nest to control the thermostat. Wish the schedules were a little easier to change in Google home for days when my schedule is different like holidays or other days off.

    These are great if you have the proper wiring in your home for them. But if you live in an older building, chances are you will need to hire someone to come out and connect it for you, which is a giant deterrent.
