It is easy to pair and stays connected. It also allows the display of outside temperature which is extremely useful.
With this thermostat, rules can be setup that will notify me of temperature changes and will also record the power usage. The version I have also allows me to turn on/off the display which can be useful when used in a dard room at night.
Becasue i don't like sharing any data at all with companies. I have wired a smart switch into the boiler. So i can turn the boiler on and off via a rule. I then use the data I get from sensors in the house to turn on the boiler when the temperature is too cold and turn off the boiler when the temp is too hot. I do the same with the air conditioning. The thermostat is not really needed at all.
In my case the boiler keeps the hot water hot all day long. after removing the thermostats and changing the way it turns on and off i also set it so that the boiler turns on at 5:30 AM and 5:30 pm for 30 minutes for showers.
my oil consumption has dropped from 4-5 fills a year to 1 fill per year.
