The display (not a screen) is very basic. Everything is displayed using icons (heat, cool, fan) plus the one set of numbers. You would think that’s adequate, but after coming from a thermostat with an actual display, this feels very limiting. For example, what’s the current temperature versus target temperature? The app is fine. Works with Alexa as expected.
If I’m not mistaken, if you have PG&E or SDG&E in California, you might be able to make $20 buying this. From the new version’s Amazon page:
PG&E & SDG&E customers can get a $50 Amazon gift card after purchasing an Amazon Smart Thermostat and enrolling in Connected Savings. [See Resideo Connected Savings for more information]
I don’t see why enrolling with a refurbished thermostat wouldn’t work from what I’ve read. Just ordered one so I’ll report back after I get it.
Does this have the update that lets me set my thermostat to a celebrity’s current thermostat? I want to have my ambient environmental temp mirror that of famous people I follow.
I don’t know about that, but my Alexa will give me the MF’n weather in Samuel L Jackson’s voice.
