Ratings and reviews

After the last update, the second stage fan feature was set to single stage. I was curious why the fairly new A/C was struggling to keep up, when I realized the second stage wasn't on. I changed it in the settings, and the fan literally doubled in speed! I noticed that after the update, the app no longer says "Second Stage Cooling".

Easy to use. I can turn the temp. up or down anywhere anytime from my phone with the app. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night and use the app. to change the temp. without having to get up. I can check run times for the week so that I know if it is running too many hours in a day. It sends me alerts when it's time to change the filter. The Venstar thermostat was a GREAT investment.

Not perfect but better than everyone else. These venstar thermostats are the only one that work without needing an Internet server in the middle, and give the user deep control over the thermostat deadbands, and a long list of other features and functions of a smart thermostat. The app covers most of the functionality, but interestingly it's not a 100%. It works fine and looks good, but has a few quirks but none of them are really deal breakers as the core functionality is there minus gimmicks.
