Google Nest Learning Thermostat vs Honeywell Home T9 RCHT9510WF

Wait, what? No, it didn't drop below the safety temperature, at which point it would automatically kick on. I also adjust the temperature before going to bed. Shouldn't have to if this thing is smart right? Well, better safe than sweaty. To get around some of these issues I've adjusted the schedule

In the world of smart thermostats, what separates the top models from the rest of the field is the ability to measure the temperature in more than one spot in your home. That allows you to regulate the heating and cooling functions in the areas where you actually are, instead of where the thermostat is mounted. It’s the next best thing to having multiple zoned HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. To do this, smart thermostats utilize small, wireless remote sensors that can detect temperatures and then integrate that data into their algorithms

The Nest? "No problem", my brother told me. So, I bought a Nest and sure enough, it works with just 2 wires. The app guides you on the installation: 1. Scan the QR code found on the thermostat with the app 2

That wasn’t the end of the saga - then I had to call again - I lucked out with same guy - because the T9 had to be configured to know I had an A/C - it was only setup as a heater somehow. But a few clicks later, it was cooling. T9 Thermostat works as expected - and I REALLY LIKE IT and TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT - just like my old TCON803, it’s fully programmable and learns when to start cooling to reach your desired TEMP (although neither is extremely successful at it, but I suspect it’s my A/C which can’t handle the BRUTAL HEAT in South Florida in older homes lacking robust insulation). Also like my old 803, it RECIRCULATES THE AIR IN THE HOUSE 30% of the time even when the A/C COMPRESSOR IS OFF - this is KEY in keeping house cooler and not feeling like it’s too hot although thermostat shows DESIRED TEMP: we need airflow to feel temperature correctly
