We got a Gen 2 this past weekend to replace a 5/2 programmable stat.
Installation was simple and I ran a C wire to it so that we wouldn't have any of the issues reported by people not using the common power wire.
We laid down a base schedule on it because we are pretty consistent in our schedules.
M-F
6AM 70*
7AM 62*
5PM 69*
10:30PM (11PM Friday night) 62*
S-Su
7:30AM 69*
11PM (10:30PM Su) 62*
Auto Schedule can adjust from there if it deems something better but I think our base schedule is pretty good for us. Auto Away is still in learning mode, it won't help us much for the Work week since we have scheduled temp drops with when we leave for work and rises when we get home but for the weekends it should work well. We have a constant temp set Sat-Sun but there are some weekends when we aren't home all day or all weekend and we wouldn't change our old programmable thermostat. If we forget to open the app and set to away, auto away should set quickly and save us some $.
We love that it knows the weather outside and learns how long the house takes to heat up underh certain conditions so tat it only starts as early as it has to to hit our wake up temp. Airwave seems like it should save us a bit when A/C season comes around.
This thing is awesome, even if it saves us nothing it was still worth it
. Next project is to fill in the holes in the drywall and paint so we can get rid of the wall plate. Will do this in the spring so we can have the HVAC off for a day or two.
