Programmable Smart WiFi Thermostat for Home with App Control, Energy Saving, Easy Installation, Works Alexa and Google Assistant, Black

I was at first, a bit hesitant to buy this product. It was the cheapest smart thermostat I could find and it seemed to have all the features I was looking for, but it's an American product with little to no official Australian support, and it clearly emphasizes that it does not work if your old thermostat does not have a C wire connector. In my house, I have a 26 year old Brivis gas ducted heating system with an old mercury based two wire thermostat with no C wire (one of those mechanical ones with the lever on the bottom and an arm that shows you the current temperature). So although it's not officially supported by this thermostat, a lot of anecdotal reports suggest it does work, although you will need to supply your own power. Relying on other people's success stories, I took a risk. I bought a cheap AC transformer that plugs into a standard household socket, converts 240VAC to 24VAC, and wired it in along with the two wires from the old thermostat, and it worked. The thermostat works quite well. The unit itself has a nice design with a big base plate which will cover any holes if your old thermostat has left a big hole in the plasterboard. It's black so it stands out more than a neutral coloured thermostat, but its design is modern and not too outstanding, so it blends in well. The face is simple with a decent sized colour screen and a clickwheel, which you can use to set the temperature and change the mode. The app is easy to use as well, although it has two similiar features - schedules and rules. Schedules allow you to set the thermostat to run on a predefined schedule though it seems to rely on the assumption that you will always want the thermostat running on either "Home", "Away" or "Sleep", with set points available for each, but never below 10°. So you can't for example, have a schedule to explicitly turn it off. However, rules do allow you to do this, and to also have the rule triggered by things other than time, such as location or triggers from other Wyze products. One issue I did have is that the temperature varies around my house. This isn't a fault of the product - the smaller rooms in my house heat up faster. However, one issue I do have with the thermostat is it seems to generate a lot of heat itself, tricking the internal thermometer into thinking it is hotter than it actually is, and causing the heat to shut off before I want it to do so. I decided to buy the add on thermometers which help the thermostat to average out the temperatures. I have a few issues with this set up: - the additional units all show temperature in Fahrenheit. Despite the fact that they clearly have LCD grids to show Celsius, there is so far, no way to change this behaviour. The app does report the temperatures in Celsius. - the averaging is not very flexible. You can set each thermometer to be balanced, cost saving, or comfort prioritising. It's not exactly clear what happens in the background, but presumably, this changes the weight of each thermometer in determining an average temperature. Whilst this is a great idea, I have found the averaging to be very imprecise and too coarse. It would be better if there was more transparency and the ability to fine tune this further. - they have a sensor, so that only the thermometers in occupied rooms are included in the averaging, however, as it relies on motion, if you sit still for a while or place it in a sleeping room, it often excludes the room after a while. Also, I have had trouble integrating the product with Google Assistant and Alexa. Alexa refuses to recognise the device at all. Google recognises the device, but often has trouble controlling it, and the only reliable command is changing the mode between home, away and sleep (but not on/off). Overall, it's a great idea and a well designed product, however, there are a number of lingering issues that make it far from perfect. The design also seems to factor a very specific use case - someone who is happy to have their heating running all day if the temperature is low enough, even if they are outside. This might make sense in the US where it does get freezing and you don't want frozen pipes, but less so for Australia. However, the competitive price is a very strong redeeming factor and more than enough to make up for these shortcomings.

Tuve que regresarlo, porqie no funcionaba

I own a bunch of wise products and in part of their ecosystem. These thermostat sensors work great I have two wise thermostat controllers, and six of these sensors and they all work great split up I’m on first floor and second floor in different rooms and hallways and they all do their job to control my thermostats. I’m not sure how the sensors work exactly in terms of knowing when to use a sensor reading or not, but overall I’m happy with it. Sometimes I find that a sensor is detecting movement when there isnt anyone in the room, but I’m sure its just from wind or lights giving it a false movement reading. I want to 3D print a little wall mount for these guys so I dont have to stick it directly on the wall with a double sided sticker.

Great product , wish it stayed on 24/7 but once it detects your motion it shows you the temperature. Easy to use, simplicity goes a long way. Can operate when I’m not around to keep the family pets nice and cozy. Highly recommend. I use other Wyze products and never had a issue so now I buy anything they have to offer . Very satisfied

Easy setup, seems to be accurate. Keeps bedroom comfortable without freezing out the rest of the house
