This thermstat is outstanding. You can monitor and control the temperature, heat vs cool, and the fan auto vs on from your cell phone from anywhere. Right now there is no monthly charge for this capability.
You must have two-wire 24vac power available at the thermostat location to power the thermostat (R or Rc and a C wire). Most existing thermostats act as a simple switch and only have one hot wire (R or Rc)available. If you don't have the other hot wire "C" available, you will have to run one. The instructions don't tell you the thermostat receives its power through the Rc and C connections--my heating and A/C systems are separate systems, so I had to modify the wiring to get everything to work--it would have been very helpful to know Rc is used for power and not R.
Once I figured out how to make it work for my system, it worked great for three days. Twelve hours after I left on vacation, the thermostat wifi failed. When I got back from vacation, I determined that my home network was working fine and the thermostat wifi was the problem. Honeywell phone support was very good--I did not have to wait to talk to someone and the guy had me reset and try to reconnect it to the network. He quickly determined that I needed to take it back to Lowe's and get a replacement. I had no problem exchanging it at Lowe's and the replacement thermostat has been working great for two weeks now.
The wifi connection goes through a third party website and there is no charge for the service; however, the user agreement states that they can charge for the service in the future. If they start charging, knock off a couple stars.

This thermostat functions like any other programmable one. after the power failure however, on my unit, it is unable to connect to the WiFi. The 7 day program ran after the outtage, but I am no longer able to connect via WiFi from my tablet or phone anymore. After several hours of resetting and trying different setups, the unit will not work at all as a thermostat or it will work as any typical thermostat without WiFi. I'll take heating my home and no WiFi. but this 120.00 unit is now only a $30.00 value without the WiFi option. The frustration is too much trying to get it to do both features. I give up on it and Honeywell.

This thermostat is not adjustable for auxiliary heat for people with heat pump units. Basically, if you don't want your auxiliary (read: energy-guzzling) heat to go on, you have to click it up one degree at a time and wait for it to reach that degree before you click again. I called Honeywell about this, and they said that this is how most of their thermostats are designed - any discrepancy between temperature and setting that is 2 degrees or higher automatically turns on auxiliary heat. Other manufacturers allow you to choose the intervals at which aux heat engages. Not this one. Completely useless if you want to save energy.
EDIT: Aux heat even goes on with 1-degree increments. So if you're house is 66 degrees and you pop it up to 67, it turns on the heat strips instead of using the heat pump. And it's 45 degrees outside, so the heat pump is well within range of efficiency.
Completely worthless.
