Climate control is no longer a strictly private endeavor in the modern age, and that's a shame. I don't want to share my personal data, proclivities, or whereabouts with my thermostat manufacturer. Nor do I wish to have said data monetized, and sold to anyone. As such, privacy becomes a major concern when selecting a thermostat in our modern age. That's what brought me to Sensi... and I'm GLAD to have found this product. No glaring exploitations, AND I now have VASTLY SUPERIOR COMFORT, usability, and efficiency compared to my last G****e unit.
My primary concern was maintaining information privacy, yet I also needed a system that insured comfort, while allowing remote use. I found this Sensi thermostat after much searching and careful research, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I had my A/C contractor install it, and it took him about 20 minutes in total. After setting it up (firmware adjustment) with my system, it has worked flawlessly. It took me about a day to design a programming schedule that would keep our home comfortable throughout the week... and I've been thrilled with the results. Our home has never been so comfortable at all hours of the day! It has been remarkably cool, in spite of record high temperatures over the last 3 days. I'm TRILLED!
It's super easy to program. The native application is easy to use, and flawless in operation. Connection is rock solid via Wifi6. No loss of programming. Almost instant access, and response. I love that this device doesn't think it's smarter than me. It GIVES ME THE CONTROL over the system and operation... not some godless corporation in silicon valley. The choices are MINE, and not made for me. HUGE plus!
This Touch 2 also allows for the addition of wireless (battery operated) remote sensors to be placed in the home for added control. I added one ($40 each) to my (frequently warmer) master bedroom, and it has wildly improved comfort in that room. I added it myself, it was an absolute breeze. It has performed flawlessly since install. Two AA batteries are WAY easier to replace than running a wire through my attic. This is a total DIY WIN!
I couldn't be happier with this purchase, and it gets a GLOWING 5-star rating with TWO BIG thumbs up! Kick that spyware demon out of your nest, and get the BEST climate control on the market! Wildly better, greater comfort, and simply SMARTER than the rest... by not trying to outsmart you.
