5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars, BUT................
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Yes, I give it 5 stars. I love the thing. It was easy to set up, and I've had no issues at all with the software. I love finding my bedroom getting too hot at 1 AM and being able to simply roll over and reset the temp with my phone. Also, as I have an exotic bird, I don't use the geo fencing, as it needs to stay warm enough for her, or cool enough. But, I can see the temp when away from home and adjust it, if necessary. So, why the BUT....?

Well, before you buy it, you should understand that this needs a 'C' wire to function on ANY level. Many similar thermostats that require a 'C' wire, also accept batteries. With batteries installed in them, they can control the system, like any normal thermostat. All that they are missing without the 'C' wire, is the wireless functions. But, this Sensi model doesn't accept batteries, at least I sure couldn't find any place for them. Also, in a response to a customer's question, the seller mentioned that this model requires the 'C' wire for ALL functions. In spite of this, if you look above, at the product specs, it states that it requires 2 'AA' batteries! But, the thing is a sealed assembly with no place to install any batteries.

So, if you buy this and think you'll go ahead and install it and use it without wireless until you can solve the 'C' wire problem, DON"T! Have everything ready, including either a 'C' wire (which in some cases can be added, running directly from your HVAC unit to the Sensi thermostat), or a supplemental transformer to replace the 'C' wire, BEFORE you remove your old thermostat. I saw this battery issue when I received my Sensi, so I ordered a supplemental transformer from Amazon, that was to arrive the next day by 9:00 PM. The next afternoon, expecting to have the transformer by 9, I installed the thermostat. The carrier that was to deliver the transformer lost it! I got an email at around 4 PM telling me so. So, in order to be able to have AC in my bedroom that night, I had to drive to Home Depot and buy one, and it cost me $4 more than the Amazon unit, which I returned to Amazon. But, they paid the shipping for me.

So, if your system doesn't have the 'C' wire, learn what it is going to take for you to add it with a supplemental transformer. Be sure you're up to the job (it really is easy), and order both the Sensi, and the supplemental transformer, together. Don't let the 'C' wire intimidate you. It's not that hard to install the supplemental transformer, and you can make it look better if you use surface mounted wire races (available on Amazon) between the thermostat and the supplemental transformer, to hide its wires.

The supplemental transformer has 2 wires, but it's AC (alternating current), so it isn't necessary to observe polarity. You simply hook one wire to the same terminal as the red 'R' wire in the thermostat, and the other wire connects to the thermostat's terminal labeled, 'C'. Simple! Also, you do have the option of using any 24 VAC transformer with a MINIMUM of 300 milliamps of current available at its output. Transformers sold for this purpose have exactly that voltage and current. But, it's acceptable to go higher in current output. Doing so simply gives you headroom, and lets the transformer run cooler. But, NEVER go LOWER than 300 ma. Voltage is another matter. You can go up, but only about a volt, or 2, which is what I did, as all I could find was a power adaptor for a Rain Bird sprinkler system that was 25.5 volts AC at 750 milliamps & cut the plug off the end of the wires, so I could hook them to my Sensi. So, if you can use a screw driver & some wire cutters, or sharp scissors, buy one and enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Thermostat & Great Value
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I am in the process of turning my house into a Wi-Fi smarthouse. When I started looking at thermostats, I was a little hesitant at some of the prices (Ecobee, Nest, etc). Then I happened upon this Emerson Touch Thermostat. Though it may not have as many features as some of the really expensive ones, but still has plenty of features to make one happy.
First of all, it has an attractive blue backlight that you can have on all the time or turn it off (I prefer on).
Because it requires a "C" wire (like all new Wi-Fi thermostats) to keep current on all the time for the electronics and my old thermostat didn't have one, I had the HVAC company that installed my Trane unit send a tech in to install it.
The tech was very impressed with the look and ease of installation on the thermostat. Their company installs many other brands, but this was a first for them and they were most impressed.
Before the tech arrived, I downloaded and installed the Sensi app on my android phone. I created the account and left the app open to the installation page. The tech said that the instructions were super clear and especially like the illustrations that were available for the novice.
After he finished installing it (he ran new thermostat wire with the extra C connection), we turned the power back on. The thermostat immediately recognized the router. I followed the step-by-step instructions on the app and was up and running in less than 5 minutes.
I then linked the thermostat to my Google Home account and I can now control the thermostat verbally by command. There are quite a few "tweaks" that you can perform in the app. For example, you can adjust the length and sensitivity of the on and rest cycles. The shorter the cycle, the more consistent the temperature in the house (very few temperature swings). The factory setting defaults to "medium". As the windows in my Florida home are not well insulated, I found too many temperature swings, so I changed it to "fast". The house always stays within 1 degree of the setting and the humidity level stays around 42% (great for a South Florida home for comfort).
You can also set schedules for total automation. There are 4 times throughout the day accommodating for waking up, going to work, returning home and sleep temperatures.
The thermostat also can be set for "geo fence" automation. It senses when everyone in the home is gone and adjusts the temperature to a user-defined setting. There's even an option to pre-cool the home before your return so you never come home to an uncomfortable house.
In conclusion, I feel that this thermostat from Emerson is a far better choice than Ecobee or Nest. The design is very slick and attractive, I have always trusted the Emerson name since my first ceiling fan in the 1970s, and the price is very affordable.
As I said, it may not have ALL of the bells and whistles that the ones in the $3-400 range, but it has plenty of features for the average home and family. I highly recommend this thermostat.

Dit product is niet geschikt voor gebruik in de EU. Probleem begint al bij het registratie proces, daar loop je vast omdat registratie alleen voor USA en Canada mogelijk is. Het alternatief (Apple home) beschikt niet over alle functies voor optimaal gebruik en functionaliteit. Programma’s (schedules) maken is onmogelijk. Door registratie problemen werkt deze thermostaat (zonder schedules) alleen binnen je eigen netwerk omgeving en niet buitenshuis.

Dit product is niet geschikt voor gebruik in de EU. Probleem begint al bij het registratie proces, daar loop je vast omdat registratie alleen voor USA en Canada mogelijk is. Het alternatief (Apple home) beschikt niet over alle functies voor optimaal gebruik en functionaliteit. Programma’s (schedules) maken is onmogelijk. Door registratie problemen werkt deze thermostaat (zonder schedules) alleen binnen je eigen netwerk omgeving en niet buitenshuis.
(Middels Apple apparatuur geprobeerd het draaiende te krijgen)

5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to use

So far this thermostat is working very well as a replacement for an old-style analog Honeywell. The touch screen is easy to use, setup and home network integration are a breeze, and it easily connects to Apple Home. The Apple Home app functionality is very basic, but I like having the ability to run automations or use voice commands with Siri. The Sensi app on the other hand has a lot of features, and is well-designed with a pretty intuitive user interface. It’s only been a couple of months but I’m very happy with it thus far.

UPDATE: It’s now been over a year. I have had no issues at all. The only time it drops connection from wifi is when the power or internet go out. The app is just amazing. You can do a lot but it’s not clunky or confusing. They just keep making it better and easier to use. One of the best smart home device apps I have ever used. I hardly ever use the touch panel.

I installed this today by myself. I took a pic of my old thermostat configuration to show you all. Took maybe 15 mins for everything except the WiFi. I followed the instructions on the app which was a very helpful tool. I can't say enough good things about that bc whenever I install a new thermostat I am puzzled when the letters don't matchy matchy. This app took that guesswork out for me. Thank you Emerson. The wifi I was stumped on for a but bc it said my password didn't work. I figured out either me or the app was adding a space at the end of the password... So just be aware of that. This thing works amazing. If it blows up or stops working down the road, I'll update my post but so far, so good. Both the touch screen on the device and the app work great. I love that you can lock the touch screen so your kids can't increase the temperature.

Installed my second one in the house where I only had R W G wires. Followed tutorial on changing G to C wire and I got it up and running. Wasn't a problem. Added 10 mins onto the job. Easy peasy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, could have been great

My only problem with this is that it requires a 2 degrees Celsius delta in the Auto mode (which automatically switches between cooling and heating depending on the temperature), and that it doesn't accept half degrees (ex.: 21.5 C). Otherwise it works really well and the installation instructions and great.
