Customers say
Customers find the thermostat easy to install, with the phone app setup being trivial, and appreciate its friendly interface and value for money. They like its appearance, with one noting it’s not an eye sore on the wall, and one mentioning it helps even out temperatures throughout the house. The temperature control receives mixed feedback – while some customers can set both cooling and heating temperatures, others report it doesn’t maintain the requested temperature. Compatibility is also mixed, with some finding it great while others report it’s not compatible with most HVAC systems.
