I love my WYZE thermostat. . . I am using the C-wire adapter with no issues. . . I had an Ecobee that failed and there are only one/ a few current feature/s I miss..... Solid B for an early release at this price point with even more promise if they continue to work on features/firmware!

Hi fantastic video again I did pre ordered the Wyze Thermostat sent it to my family address in the US and they shipped it to the UK and it works on my gas fired water heater because my heater was multi voltage I think that why plus I had a electrician to fit it wasn’t that expensive £50 plus I have pre- ordered the new Wyze watch and the new security alarm got it for free if I paid 12 months in advance for the prescription that’s what I did keep up the good work

Good video! Do people really set rules and schedules for their thermostat? Wouldn't it be more costly raising and lowering the temp all the time? Everytime your house changes temp, the ac/heat has to cool or heat the house again. Why not set a temp and leave it. Regardless if you're home or not, having to make your unit heat or cool is harder on your system than just leaving it alone.

Great video, are your times when the heat kicks on accurate. I just got mine today and was wondering that. I had some issues installing mine but have them sorted thanks to the people in the wyze forum. What a great resource. My issues were the heat and air were turning on at the same time. I found that when installing the C adapter I had two wires on the Y in the furnace panel and only one of them was supposed to go to the c adapter, not both. My red one that came from my air conditioner needed to stay on the furnace panel in the Y spot. Also, I found my temperature sensor was off by 4 degrees. Luckily wyze has a way to calibrate this in the app settings and that fixed it. And last but not least Wyze needs to change the schedule to allow for a Heat schedule and a Cool schedule. Having only an auto-schedule where the heat and cool temperature have to be separated by 5 degrees is just useless. If you want to have an auto mode 90% of us can't use you have to add a heat and cool schedule that is separate. As it is now I have to reset my heat and cool schedule every season. Even my 20-year-old thermostat had more functionality than that. At least on that old thing, I could just flip the switch to cool or heat for the season and it was programmed into it.

Some good insight here. The nice thing is the things you mention could easily be fixed by software. It’s brand new and I know they are getting a lot of feedback... or at least I’m seeing it! Ha! I love that they continually update their software and give features. You should still be able to flip the virtual switch from heat to cool right? I honestly never thought about having heat/cool temps so close. Maybe because of where I live ... or is it because I’m cheap?! Good work on fixing it the wiring issue. So you had to plug in both wires into the C adapter? The AC wasn’t already going to C on the furnace board?

I found that using the Auto mode may interfer with manually changing the temp at the device. I couldn't increase the Heat temp beyond the preset temp. After changing the mode from Auto to Heat the temp could be increased. Apparently the preset temps for heat and cool were set too close to each other, which prevented the increasing of the heat temp. I still don't understand the Away state and how it works in relation to the Home/Sleep states. What automatically activates and deactivates the Away? How does the motion sensor change the setting from or to the Away state. And does the location of the phone change the state? I'll also post this on the Wyze forum for comments.

I'm currently on a short vacation from home, therefore I set the thermostat to Away. I've checked the system a few times via the app and have found it reset to Home. No one is at home to activate the motion sensor, which would reset it to Home (I think). And I understand the location of my phone away from my home will set it to Away (which will upset my wife if she is still at home. Can this be turned off?). Last night I set the system to Hold instead of Away and this seems to be working to keep the system (heat) from coming on until it reaches the set temp. I'm still a bit confused on how the system works in relation to the settings of Home, Away and Sleep. It's not as intuitive as it appears. Wyze needs to come out with a definitive guide to the complete programming via the App and actual device (thermostat) and the relationship between both. Overall this is a great device and I'll appreciate it more when I completely understand it.

I have a dual fuel heat pump/gas furnace. I installed it and could not find how to set the balance point (temp. where the heat pump stops and gas furnace takes over) . The only way I could find to contact customer service was by email. We installed it on Dec. 23 and I emailed them for help. When I looked it was trying to use the heat pump when the outside temp was 13F. The air handler ran and ran trying to heat the house. Sometimes the gas furnace would come on. I emailed customer support again. After about 3 days the air handler motor went out. I then get a reply from customer service that did not answer my question. I asked again how to set the balance point and still no answer. I finally emailed for a return. They sent me a prepaid label and I returned it and they got it. It has been one month today and still no refund. I'm out $50 for the thermostat and $110 for the motor (I installed). I could have almost bought a Nest thermostat and the instructions tell how to set balance point.
