? for HVAC PROs Techies-Wifi enabled thermostats

[joslar15]

I'm not a bleeding edge tech person, but these seem to be an interesting option. Been looking at Honeywell options and they range from one to 3 Benjis. Novelty value-hell yeah. I'm a guy and love gadgets and shiny things! But then again, pretty convenient compare to normal programmables. Anyone have first hand experience or info/suggestion? BTW, still have mid-efficiency spec-grade furnace and 13 SEER AC installed last year.

I installed one last year, it was a honeywell. I'll try to lookup the model, it seemed okay, it was a pretty simple install. The most time I spent on it was helping the guy get his cellphone connected to it.

Edit: I believe it was this one Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat - Programmable Household Thermostats - Amazon.com

If I can get a nice one around $100 I will install it on mine.

I got the $100 model from Costco for my wife last Christmas. Took about 30min to install and the setup on the phone was pretty easy. I was kind of against it, but I'll admit I find it very handy now. I can check it from anywhere, set the program with an easy GUI, and adjust it at night from my bed. Well worth it.

Awesome if you have remote locations you'd like to control.
