WiFi Smart Thermostat Electric Heating-Programmable WiFi Thermostats for Home(2019Update) Wireless Digital Temperature Controller, Remote Control Room Thermostat Compatible with Alexa Google Home 16A

Bought this to replace a basic thermostat to a Potterton boiler. During installation, I needed to add an insulated live wire from terminal 4 to terminal 1 so that when the thermostat demand switches ON there is a live to power the boiler. Check your boiler takes mains (should do) or it could be costly. If this means nothing, get a pro installer.Looks sleek with a standard pattress box in the wall to house the gubbins. Mounting plate slides not twists and you may need to prize the 4 metal retainers open a little with pliers so that it slides back on.App setup is straight forward enough but additionally, you must verify your phone number in profile before setting the Alexa skill or it won't pair. Alexa picks up the thermostat automatically no need to search. Ask Alexa to set temperature to x degrees and it works perfectly. Love it, and such good value at around 40 quid.

Had to ask advice from electrician re wiring but once done it’s spot on.Looks really modern n smart n works via the app perfect and so easy .to use . It’s a fraction of the price of other smart thermostats .The aftersales was spot on aswell , they helped me with wiring . Top marks

Straightforward to install. I had to move the earth point on the socket back-box to allow it to fit in, but that's not a fault of the product, just an indication of its depth. Setting up schedules is straightforward and the cost compared to the Smart equivalent of the unit it replaced was significant. Installed 2 months now and no problems.The only downside is it only works on a 2.4GHz wireless. I've recently installed a new router which allowed my iPhone to hop between 2.4 and 5GHz. I've now had to create two separate networks to force the iPhone (running the Beca heating controlling app) to stay on the same 2.4GHz network as the thermostat.

Initial install was relativly easy and setting up the WiFi went well. Software supplied was a little basic but worked as expected. One small bug is that your day setting must start and stop within the same day. i.e. If your like me who often go to sleep at 1am, you cant have the last setting of the day to finish at 12:30 am as it confuses the schedule and puts you into the wrong schedule. There is no documentation on this but was easy enough for me to work around. Also once set up, create Automated programs and intergrating with Google assistance worked well.The reason for the 1 star is after 5 months of use, the screen is no longer working. Can still operate through the App. I would expect a product that sits on a wall and hardly gets touch to last longer so makes it very dificult to recommend.

This is a great product, it works seemless with Alexa, the smart life app is very good to control the heating from your phone, the thermostat looks great and it was easy to install, the instructions were not very clear, but installation was self explanatory. NOTE the thermostat needs to be hardwired to the boiler it is not wireless

Bought to replace one of the two mechanical stats in my house and I love it. The stat arrived ahead of schedule, was easy to install and set up and easy to control from the device its self and the app.Things that could be improved:1) when using schedules the temperature can not be manually adjusted from the device or the app without first switching back to 'manual mode'2) when in schedule mode, information about the current set temperature is wrong in both the app and via Google Home etc - they both report the previous manually set temperature and not the one set by the scheduleI'll definitely be buying anoyher to replace the other mechanical one in my house

I have just bought and fitted a 2nd one of these after buying one to try and finding it was excellent.Easy to install just a note that to release the LCD front panel in order to fit the unit they say "Rotate it" which is a bit confusing.What you need to do is holding the back of the unit apply upward pressure to the front LCD casing and it will slide up and give a click as it releases. You are then left with the front LCD on the end of a flexi cable. Some sort of quick and easy release would have been a good idea so you don't break the cable by accident when fitting. There is a cable connector on the main body but it is very delicate and I would not try to release using that.Apart form that it is a great product for the price and works well with Amazon Alexa using the TUYA smart app.

Physically easy to install but wiring it up was an experimental pain as the manual is very sketchy. 5 differing attempts with the wiring, including link wires between terminals, between the boiler and thermostat and it worked! The old fashioned, 2.4GHz, wi-fi connection is a pain so we use it manually on the touchscreen. Now, after 4 months of perfect use, the screen is failing and it's timechip is failing by about 10 minutes per day. Very disappointing. I was thinking of buying a 2nd thermostat for upstairs but will have to look elsewhere.
