Honeywell has one for about $100. Amazon has one that is made by Honeywell for about $75. It works with Ring and Alexa. We have a Honeywell that works pretty well and the App is easy enough for my wife to use so you should be ok. 😂

Someone invent a thermostat that activates an insanely loud speaker to scream “stop turning the fucking thermostat down to 50 degrees!!”.

If you've got a "smart" thermostat - or at least one that talk to Apple Homekit - you can use automations to check the temp every so often and set it back to whatever temp is correct. So they'll see the thermostat change to whatever they set it to, and then after they walk away it changes back to whatever you've set it to

 

I've got honeywell smart thermos that came installed in my house, and the setup with homekit was surprisingly easy

You can also set up a free IFTTT account and get an alert whenever the schedule is manually overridden.

We have those at Amazon.  It displays the temp and let's you dial it to whatever you want.  The user gets the experience that he is in control, but it only can be changed by logging into BMS.

If someone turned the heat on in our house at ambient temp of 73, it had better be one of my grandmothers reincarnate.

I just bought a place that has Honeywell T6 thermostats.

Do not, under any circumstances, buy one of these absolute pieces of shit. 

One month into moving in, I came home to my house at 92 degrees. The issue was the thermostat upstairs, I was told. It was replaced, everything worked fine again. 

Now, the new thermostat has decided it's always going to hold temp at 78 even if the schedule is off, even if hold is off. It just won't stop doing it. 

Every time it does this, the only option is to factory reset the thermostat.

I fucking hate this thing more than any other product I have ever owned or dealt with. 

The app is also fucking terrible.

My slaughter is the absolute worst with our thermostat.
Constantly jacking around with it because, hey... she doesn't pay the bills, right?
Got an "Ecobee" programmable on sale @ Home Depot.  Retails around $ 350, purchased for $ 250.
All went well for around 1 month & then my wife decided to give her the pass code.

Now i have to dig through the instructions to figure out how to change it.  Damn you, woman.  The app doesnt have anything simple & the physical device has no intuitive way to change it.

Sounds like the wife ain’t getting the new one, either.

Obviously that is easier said than accomplished because now you have an argument.

What we need is a "fake" adjustment screen that makes it APPEAR they changed the temperature but in reality, nothing happened & the real setting screen is hidden behind a secondary "Super Secret Squirrel" area.
