I currently own both the Honeywell product and the Nest, one in each of my homes (or I should say three in each). I can honestly tell that the Nest has a user-friendly interface and is far more technologically advanced. Both are not as easy to install as they claim, especially if you don't have a C wire (I used Add-a-wire to do so), but I prefer that the Nest battery is rechargeable (on its own with C wire) as opposed to the Lyric, which uses a lithium ion battery that I had to replace every four to six months (a pain for a second home when you are not there). Nest is also a more user-friendly product. Additionally, I thought the customer service was outstanding (which I needed).The benefit of competition is that it will push Honeywell to upgrade its clearly out-of-date Lyric product. I'm waiting to see what Honeywell accomplishes before switching my second home over to Nest. I find it amazing that a business of Honeywell's size and prestige has lagged behind a more innovative one like Nest (though perhaps I shouldn't be).

I bought a house that has an old HVAC system. In the end, I changed the thermostat, central air conditioner, and furnace. When I updated to a Nest thermostat, I would occasionally get battery problems that required me to physically remove the Nest, charge it for a few hours using a USB cable, and then plug it back in. During one winter, it took place twice. I discovered that my setup lacked a common wire so I "borrowed" the central air conditioning wire to act as a temporary common wire until I had time to re-run a new thermostat wire. Tracing the thermostat wire revealed that it was entangled with the return ductwork and that it would be difficult to fish it out and reroute it. Enter this add-a-wire from Venstar.After I drew up a paper diagram of the present and future wiring, installation was quite straightforward. Watch the Venstar official YouTube installation video for yourself. Online, there are a TON of videos and directions that are poor. Overall, I spent approximately 15 minutes on it from beginning to end, and it has been operating flawlessly ever since. In case anything changes, I'll update.a few pointers1. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, please don't for the love of God try it. You could damage your system and void the warranty at the same time.2. Keep in mind to turn off the furnace's electricity (or whatever HVAC system you have).3. Photograph the wiring at the thermostat and HVAC control board before and after.4. To ensure you understand all you need to do, take some time to read the instructions, watch the YouTube video, and then lay out the wiring. The thermostat wire colors may occasionally not match the directions (mine didn't), but if you plan everything out, you should be able to figure it out without too much difficulty.If you are unable to run new thermostat wiring, I would definitely advise doing this.

This is what I bought to utilize at my jobsite. The sensor box that regulates our double automatic sliding glass entry door has to be protected, not a thermostat. Despite being about 8 feet off the ground, someone jumped up, grabbed a tool, and struck the bottom where the key mechanism is. This caused the acrylic to break, giving anyone tall enough or standing on something the ability to stick their fingers in where the chunk of acrylic was broken out and manipulate the settings. My apartment building's tenants were at risk because, on occasion, a smartass would place the switch in a position that would allow the door to open simply by detecting someone approaching it, like at a grocery store or other establishments with sliding doors. You don't want that in an apartment complex where inhabitants are required to let visitors in once they have announced their presence at the call box.The previous guard was a medium-sized model, and it had been set up with the key turned down as shown in the picture in the product description. Instead, I installed the new one with the key on top. That, in my opinion, makes it more durable and less susceptible to being hit. It has performed admirably thus far and is quite durable.

With so many smart products available, it can be difficult to distinguish between those that are worthwhile investments that can improve quality of life from those that are just a waste of money. By far, this item is essential, and I'll try to explain why.My two-story home with a single AC unit had noticeable temperature fluctuations before I installed this gadget. Days were hot where the thermostat was, so the unit ran continuously to keep it cool while it was very cold downstairs. The opposite would occur at night, with the upstairs remaining chilly and the downstairs becoming extremely hot and sticky. Later, I discovered that the majority of the air in my ducts was being directed to the top level for evident midday cooling.I was able to perfectly adapt the daily routine as soon as I put the sensors. It was incredible that you could choose which sensor or temperature drove the ac conditioning thanks to the sensors and Nest. The additional ability to adjust the fan in-between cooling cycles is what really sealed the deal for me. With the help of this function, the temperature difference between the higher and lower levels of the house was balanced, dropping from three to one degrees throughout the day. I can't express how much I value this product and how much I adore my Nest even more because of it. I'm hoping that by sharing my experience, other families will be able to cut costs and have a better time at home.

Exactly what I required. Even though it is 93 degrees outside and the windows are closed, my mother, who has Alzheimer's disease and lives in South Florida, will turn the air entirely off when I am not home. When the caretaker arrives, it makes things uncomfortable. I bought this larger type because the house has a huge thermostat, and it works just well. Simply screw it into the wall via the drywall made installation simple. An intelligent 9-year-old might be able to bypass the lock box, but an 86-year-old can't.The fact that it only has one key—one for me and one for the caretaker—is my only disappointment. Because the metal blanks are too thick, the extra keys I had a locksmith make for me do not function. In order to find a place to get extra keys, I must then explore the internet. It turns out that a supply company sells them online for $5 each. Hopefully they will function when they arrive.

Okay, so first things first: Ecobee needs to fire all of its programmers and the following three CTOs. Their engineering and software are just stupid. Evidently, their coders do not possess an Ecobee.What the actual eff? I adore Ecobee and will never purchase anything else. Just allow me to couple it the way the 1980s' technology allowed us to. To get these things to work together, I think I need to call the AC technicians back and have my furnace installed again. Once standing, they are ready to leave.Furthermore, why the hell can I use Ecobee's motion sensor as a trigger for everything else but Ecobee? Lol. I use these sensors to activate recurring schedules around my home, but the motion response from Ecobee itself lags by roughly 80 minutes, I swear to God. I currently have four additional COMPLETE ROUTINES that leverage Alexa and other smart devices as triggers to start running.

had a 1990s builder-grade dumb thermostat. This improvement is fantastic. Purchased additional sensors and set the temperature sensors to detect the bottom floor during the day and the bedrooms at night.The installation guidelines are simple to comprehend. Installation was quick and easy. You must check your furnace/A/C control board to determine what wires you have if you plan to do the installation yourself. If you don't have a "C" wire that needs to be placed at the control board, the item comes with an adaptor. Fortunately, I avoided having to do this. You will be alright if your thermostat is wired according to industry standards, which call for at least 6 wires to be attached to the control board.

Someone was constantly too hot or cold in our big house, so they would just turn the thermostat up or down till they were comfortable. Unfortunately, that action led to a pointless conflict that was also costing money.The battle went on despite everyone being repeatedly told the temperature range and to leave it alone, both verbally and with notes on the thermostat, repeatedly. After a thorough investigation, I had narrowed the culprits down to two: "NotMe" and "IDdon'tKnow," neither of whom even reside in my home but who are apparently frequent visitors.Because it wasn't clear and prevents kids from developing a method of using something to poke the buttons, I spent more to buy the StatGuardPlus large plastic thermostat cover in brush nickel. Battle is won!

To replace an identical machine that broke down after nearly 14 years of service, I bought this one in October 2008, exactly 17 months ago. Installation proceeded without a hitch, and programming was a breeze. The unit initially performed as expected, but one day this winter we returned home to a very cold house. The batteries apparently died suddenly, although the display was still in use, and there was no sign of a low battery. Up until this week, everything appeared to be in order when I changed the batteries. We've gone through three sets of batteries this week after returning home to a frigid house each time. Every time, the display works flawlessly, the programming is intact, there is no low battery warning, etc. I'm not sure what's happening, but when I choose a warmer temperature and press "return," the furnace should turn on and there should be a click from the relay. All systems start working again once I change the batteries—for a day or two. Today, it happened once more. Today, after making numerous unsuccessful attempts to turn on the furnace, I once more changed the batteries. Once more, brand-new batteries enabled the relay in this device. These batteries are premium brands. Each pair came in a separate container and from a different brand. They are all brand-new purchases.I'm quite worried, and I'll probably have to replace this thermostat. Spend less money on a more dependable device.Update: The most recent battery change, which was around four months ago, has kept the device functioning thus far. I'm closely monitoring it, and if I do need to replace it, I'll do so with a new unit, but so far, it's holding up.NOV 2012 Update: Since the last update, the device has operated without a hitch, thus I'm raising the rating to FOUR STARS. It would receive five stars if it were simpler to program, had a means to save programs for later recall (for example, by different months), or consumed fewer batteries.NEWS JAN 2013: Since the winter when we constantly returned home to a cold house, I have lost faith in this thermostat. It has since been replaced with a Trane TZEMT400BB3NX N N SL Home Energy Management Thermostat with Nexia Home Intelligence, White (Z-Wave), which DOES NOT USE ANY BATTERIES, ALLOWS ME TO STORE PROGRAMMES ON THE NEXIA WEBSITE (FOR A MONTHLY FEE), WHICH PERMITS ME TO CHECK / ADJUST MY THERMOSTAT If you need a basic thermostat without all the remote bells and whistles, this Hunter is definitely an acceptable thermostat because the full system has a considerably higher price tag.
If your old thermostat is outdated or not working properly, you may be wondering how to choose a new one. There are many different types and features of thermostats on the market, so it is important to do your research to find the best fit for your home. Consider the following when choosing a new thermostat: -What type of heating and cooling system do you have? -What is your budget? -What features are you looking for?

If you’re looking to upgrade your thermostat, or if you’re simply trying to figure out what kind you need for your home, it’s important to know the different types that are available on the market. Here is a brief overview of the most popular types of thermostats to help you make an informed decision about which one is right for you. The first type of thermostat is the manual thermostat. This type of thermostat is the most basic and easy to use. It typically has a knob that you turn to
If your home thermostat is bad, you may notice that your home is not as comfortable as it should be. Your thermostat may also make strange noises, or the display may be inaccurate. If you suspect that your thermostat is bad, you should call a professional to have it checked.
If your home thermostat is more than 10 years old, it may be time to replace it. Newer thermostats are more accurate and can save you money on your energy bill.
If your home feels too hot or too cold, it could be a sign that your thermostat is going bad. Other signs include your furnace or air conditioner cycling on and off more than usual, or your energy bills increasing. If you suspect your thermostat is going bad, call a professional to come take a look.
There isn't really a definitive answer to how long a thermostat should last. With proper maintenance and care, a thermostat can last for many years. However, if a thermostat is not properly cared for or maintained, it may only last a few years. Ultimately, it is important to keep an eye on your thermostat and to replace it when it begins to show signs of wear and tear.
