Delivery arrived on time as promised. Super easy to install, which I decided to do on my own instead of paying $100 to have someone professionally install. I followed the instructions of the video, viola it worked with no issues whatsoever. The product itself is amazing. I’ve programmed it to my temperature settings during the day when I’m home, and it senses when I’m not home and will switch to e NATE · homedepot.com

Great thermostat! Great connectivity, awesome user interface, easy scheduling. As always, the walkthrough guides in the Wyze app were phenomenal. Very happy to see auto switch, physical lockout and motion sensor screen. One thing missing vs our old thermostat is the outside temp - It's super neat to see outside vs inside temp on the tstat. Could this be cured with an update? Otherwise a great choi JJEL · wyze.com
