User reviews

Thermostat does what it wants

Choose a temp, choose a time…none of it matters with this thermostat that will do whatever it wants. Have fun losing control of your whole system with this kick to the nuts control scheme

Then there is the seven layers of stupidly overlapped “security” to change your own thermostat. User hostile. Meanwhile, the y collect your data and sell it. Terrible

2.4 only?

Can’t connect with provider. Period.

Lost WIFI

Dropped WIFI a couple of months ago and tried and tried to get back, but nothing

Enjoying the system

It was reasonably priced. I like the fact that I can control it from my phone. I don’t think it’s made a difference in bill after six months

Can't sign up 'cuz it doesn't like zip codes

My wife has this and it works fairly well. She asked me to install it but I can't create an account because no matter what zip code I put in Ruud says it's invalid. So the app is worthless.
