There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The positives:
- Very easy to install. All three connected to my router with none of the issues described in many other reviews.
- No problem using them with both Siri/Apple Home and Alexa/Echo.
- Intuitive user interface
- The iPhone app is generally reliable and intuitive (but not entirely...)
Negatives:
- There is only one set of four time periods per day that cover both heating and cooling. Because of variable electricity rates where the rate change happens at different times by season, we use different times for heating and cooling settings. This thermostat does not support that. I'm hoping for a software upgrade that allows the addition of more time periods.
- There are occasional dropouts of connectivity with WiFi. So far they've re-connected on their own reasonably quickly.
- The server the iPhone app connects to is occasionally unavailable and the app fails. This happens more frequently than seems reasonable.
- The iPhone app does not refresh very quickly and there seems to be no way to manually refresh (by pulling down and releasing for instance). It's hard to tell it hasn't refreshed because it seems to behave normally. The only way I've found to force it to refresh is to kill and restart the app.
- Occasionally I make a change on the app and it seems to accept it, but then it reverses to the original setting. There is no indication that a commanded change has or has not been accepted by the device.
It functions as expected, though I haven't tried the Geofencing features yet (we have four people in the house and I work as a freelancer from home, so geofencing isn't as needed). The scheduling and ability to control and monitor my house temp from anywhere is pretty nice. Having it automatically choose between the furnace and the AC when it needs too works well too.
Not quite as "pretty" as other thermostats like it, but it's a thermostat . . . and it's easily more stylish than the one installed with my home.
I'm not giving it a 5 star rating only due to it's Lyric app for the phone. Even though getting it set up on the network wasn't overly difficult, it didn't work as per the instructions and I had to go a little deeper to get it on the wireless network. Programming it is a bit unclear, the user interface isn't as intuitive as it could be. It appears they are trying to put form over function and it makes it a little ambiguous as to what mode it's operating in and what to do to set it up. Siri integration is a novelty at this time as it is limited and doesn't alway function correctly. I believe with a little more work, Siri could become very good, I love being able to control things in my house with my Apple Watch.
Didn't start off in the right foot with this item... received item, packaging was opened and a visible nick on the bezel of the thermostat. Prime is awesome where return/exchange was easy. Asked for an exchange and four days later another unit came in... also package showed signs of previously opened but thermostat was in mint condition as far as I can tell so kept it.
-Setup(WiFi connect and Alexa integration). Set was med to difficult... iOS integration was a nice touch to try to simplify the WiFi network pairing process but it was a bit confusion. As part of the setup process user needs to put the thermostat into different pairing modes and the indicator is based on what was being displayed on thermostat... unfortunately WiFi direct connect/Airport display on thermostat is very similar so very easy to get these two modes mixed up resulting in multiple setup attempts until user realizes there is a difference.
- Energy saving? So one of the advertised features is some short of smarts that will result in energy savings/usage... with my none scientific observation and data collection I would say that's not true with the 2 weeks I had this device. Compared to my old/ghetto thermostat (very basic unit) T5 turns on and leaves AC on a lot longer than my ghetto unit use to do... to the extend that my spouse and is feeling cold in SoCal where it was 107 degrees outside.
- Alexa integration - it was way easy... compared to getting T5 connected to WiFi. The nice thing is once integration had no issue with Alexa controlling T5. And a saving graces of ability for T5 to control temperature, having Alexa (voice control), saves me the time having to run to the thermostat every 30 mins.
- Weird WiFi drop out problem: after 2 weeks of usage and woke up one morning to T5 being disconnected from WiFi (try to switch on via Alexa). Fiddled with WiFi settings/resetting/reconnecting for 2 hours and was not able to get T5 reconnected to WiFi. So returned my exchanged T5 and bought a third one.
Got me a third T5 and initial setup was extremely difficult (unable to connect to WiFi/internet). took a few hours but figured out I needed to delete my previous T5 from some super obscure Honeywell website. Two weeks into my third T5, thermostat dropped/refused to connect to internet (critical for alexa control). Spend a couple of hours resetting/reconnecting WiFi and still unabled to reconnect. And this time around I couldn't find that obscure Honeywell website to delete registered device under my account so I am giving up and will be returning my 3rd T5 and replace with Ecobee.
- Weird note... i've gone through 3 T5 and the first 2 seems to be by Honeywell themselves and the 3rd one seems to be a unit produced by someone other than Honeywell but the box still primarily adverstised as a Honeywell product. This maybe explains if you look up where to login into your Honeywell account to manage your devices you find 3-4 other Honeywell websites but actually for other devices... this contributed to user's troubleshooting experience...
- Summary: I really liked T5. For the price you get all the fancy features and it looks great on the wall when compared to Ecobee/Nest, etc. Unfortunately the setup experience kinda sucked. And of course, network dropout (device reliability) super suck and is my main problem... some major fail there during development/quality control. If you are looking for a thermostat that looks great and with all the bell/whistle this is definitely it BUT this is for users that are not looking for/care much for the IOT connected portion... that means you don't really care about Alex and App control. If you care for connected part of the features than skip this... you save money but your time and sanity will be trade off.

Yo instale el termostato desde la calefacción y solo necesite comprar cable eléctrico que tenía 6 cables de colores dentro. Muy muy fácil de instalar.
La programación también es muy fácil. Si eres de México hay que poner en país a EUA para que te permita configurarlo pero al terminar la configuración, cambiar el país a México y ya te permite poner tu dirección para que veas la temperatura exterior.
Excelente compra.
