You'll probably get yours sooner (the seller is located closer to San Antonio).
Oh...maybe not the same then. I thought the one I bought was coming from Illinois. I didn't pay close attention though..
I found a seller on eBay that has several for $25 a piece but they are all missing the back plate. I reached out to Vivint support and they said they would send me one if I had an active account. Unsure how much that would cost and if it would be worth it to sign up to get the back plate or not.
That's more of a gamble than I'm willing to do. If I need one more (which I think I do) I'll wait until one shows up on eBay that has all it's parts.
Have 3 CT200, but have 4 thermostats...

I don't even need a new thermostat, lol but these look so nice and the cycling/deadband can be set to minimum .5. I have the Centralite Pearl and I'm creating my own work-around just to limit their minimum 1 degree deadband because the fluctuation of the temperature in the house is just too much for the wife.
1 deg swing is too much?? How has she lived her whole life??? 
Most thermostats don't allow less than that...
Anyway, I've never set mine to 0.5 deg swing, but it shows up as an option so I guess it can do it.

Haha, well because Centralite's 1 degree is technically 2 degrees. If the cooling setpoint is 75 then the temperature will go up to 76 and then it cools down to 74. Our house is newer construction so new windows & a/c units. That 2 degrees feels like a big swing.
Ok. I can say that at the 1 deg swing setting, for a setpoint of 75 the Vivint turns on at 76 and off at 75.

Yep, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I have created a rule to do this on my Pearl currently, but if I have an excuse to get another Thermostat to please the wife, then it's kind of a win/win

I got one new in box for $44 off eBay. I have 2 thermostats, so I figured I'll test it out and then if I like it I'll purchase another once I find a good deal.
Got another CT-200 in the mail today (used) - needed unlocking with the vivint panel.

My CT-200 will be here tomorrow, plan on installing it this weekend!

Would a “new-in-box” thermostat be unlocked? (I’ll acknowledge the assumption that a description of NIB is truthful.) There’s one on eBay that’s a bit pricey, but knowing it’s unlocked would provide some peace of mind.
So far everyone's experience is, yes but that isn't a guarantee. Mine is supposed to be new in box, so we will see.

The new-in-box one I got this week was unlocked. The two used ones I have were locked, and required unlocking w/a vivint panel.
I need 1 more of them though. So for whoever is bidding against me on eBay - stop it.

Wasn't me. Mine didn't come in today - hopefully tomorrow.
One little 'easter egg' for y'all... When connected via c-wire you get an extra option in the setup menu on the device that lets you turn on the display when you walk by/get close to the thermostat. That option is hidden when battery operated.
Also, for those using c-wire, it is OK (recommended actually in the manual) to also install batteries for backup. Not required, though.

I’ve been wanting to pull an extra wire for almost two years now for that exact feature. Do you think it’s worth it? It’s a tough run for me.
Not really. It is neat and all, but not so cool that I would pull a wire for it.

Would it up the WAF?
