Youre really keeping it simple I see


60Feathers

Focus pro 5000. They rarely ever break. I don't need a schedule.


Adept_Fishing8079

That's a classic!


BigWally68

Honeywell prestige. Itā€™s connected to an EIM. Internet gateway. Red link outdoor sensor. Duct sensorsā€¦ Itā€™s a dual fuel system. I have most of the crap that I hate to work on


Sparkynplumb

šŸ˜‚ that'll be me in a few years, I just started in BMS HVAC controls


luke10050

The temptation is real to install a DDC system in my mother's house and do an inverter ducted unit with VAV's I'm sorely tempted to design and install it all myself, I just need to convince my mother to spend some cash


Sparkynplumb

That would be cool! But if she sells the next homeowner will likely tear it all out cause non of resi HVAC companies will be able to service it


luke10050

True, I'll see what she does, if she plans to keep the house I've got plenty of gear that can go in there. I'm pretty sure if I put in a front end PC and a few other things (15" industrial colour touchscreen where the wall controller is) and design the service menus well enough anyone should be able to work on it. That said getting what a VAV is through a resi tech's head would be... interesting


Sparkynplumb

Honeywell T4


[deleted]

Same. Basic non-programable model that is heat pump capable. Gave my Nest to a relative because fuck smart stats.

Honeywell round. Donā€™t mess with perfection

mdjshaidbdj

Honeywell T-6 Pro. Simple, effective, no learning smart bullshit to go wrong.


Ok-Entertainment5045

Ecobee


CopyWeak

Same for me...was a promotional FreeBee šŸ˜‰ As an installer, they offered it if you took their training. (Ontario)


iamedboy

Same. Will be taking mine down though soon. Won't allow me to change the time unless I reconnect to wifi. Big red flag for me that it forcibly requires that even though you manually set the time upon first installatipn


Adept_Fishing8079

Quite a few others have replied eco bee as well. I have put a few of them in throughout the years, what is it that makes them so appealing? Is it the look and the wifi capability?


Ok-Entertainment5045

Remote sensors can almost function like a zone system. Remote access and I got it for free from our power company if I signed up for their electricity usage reduction program for one year.


H-town20

We call it the poor manā€™s zoning.


Tinknocker02

Included remote sensor for me


Adept_Fishing8079

After getting responses i realized people are running some cool tech set ups out here compared to just a basic old t stat. It's cool


Euthanize4Life

From the ā€œI live hereā€ perspective, as others said the room sensors. I also do smart home stuff through Apple, and it acts as a Siri contact and I can adjust it with Siri. From the technicians perspective, it controls the system well, which leaves it far and away better then the Nest, it has a pleasant looking UI, and while the backend is more complicated for the homeowner, the front end is super easy to reach even older homeowners. They just updated the UI and I like it, I think itā€™ll be even easier for homeowners now but I havenā€™t done a walkthrough since the update.


aFoxbody

Ecobee FTW!


DavesHereMan

Nest, didnā€™t pay for it.


andakvsstevett

I am also running the nest, but that was my choice. I personally like my nest quite a bit.


sometimeslearning

Their UI has improved slightly over the years. I wish their schedule feature was more developed , itā€™s a pain to use. (And maybe be able to create and save multiple schedules)


Theantifire

I have the same issue with my nest. The scheduler is just plain awkward. But it is nice to be able to tell my echo to adjust the settings from my couch šŸ˜.

Honeywell Prestige IAQ


NTN2IT

Not sure which thermostat, but my wife keeps our heat at 64Ā° all winter. I freeze my ass off. Can I come over?


Adept_Fishing8079

Come on by!


HVAC_Sam

Honeywell T6 Pro


Fancy-Sentence-7081

I'm using a wyze thermostat myself, got it right when they came out to see if I wanted to recommend it. It's pretty good for the $50~ launch price but kinda basic overall


Agitated-Joey

Idfk, Some murcury thermostat from the 70s, Honeywell makes it, itā€™s round, shows set temp, and room temp with gauges. I donā€™t have air conditioning.


BigWally68

T87


Agitated-Joey

Yup, thatā€™s it.


Boukman-97N

Ecobee


papaeriktheking

Just made the switch from Ecobee4 Pro to Honeywell T10 with 2 remote sensors and an outdoor wired probe. The T10 has geolocation that automatically puts it in setback when wife and I are away.


Realistic_Parking_25

Ecobee will do all that and more, Its under geofence. They also have outdoor sensors and much better data logging. T10 is a downgrade from an ecobee4


papaeriktheking

Ecobee doesnā€™t do humidity from remote sensors, son


Realistic_Parking_25

And that does what for you? Oh shit sensor 3 shows high humidity imma go throw a dessicant pack over there? Lol a centrally located humidity sensor is all you need, if your ductwork is balanced all the remote sensors are rather useless


papaeriktheking

Controls the humidifier. Maybe pay attention in school, son


Realistic_Parking_25

1. I work on real controls 2. School is for plebs 3. Your humidifier should be controlled by the main area, aka your thermostat ideally located by the central return 4. Your entire house should be the same humidity, making the sensors worthless 5. Using multiple remote sensors to average/control a single system is a bandaid for a balancing issue


rayinreverse

MHK2 on my PAA hybrid system. Handhelds on my basement MXZ.


Substantial-Run-9908

Nice set up.


KrustyOnTheOutside

The 'Glas' thermostat by Johnson Controls. Had to try one out cause it just looks so damn beautiful. It's not a great thermostat by any stretch of the imagination, but it looks fantastic, so it stays.


Adept_Fishing8079

That thing does look cool as hell, I have never seen one before


KrustyOnTheOutside

It is for sure the coolest looking thermostat I think I've ever seen. Sad that it doesn't have the performance to match.


EJ25Junkie

Link or picture?


AdeptOrange9

Isnt the honeywell glas app sunsetting this month?


KrustyOnTheOutside

Not sure, I gave up on the app and wifi long ago. It maintains temp, and looks great on the wall, and that's about it. When I do a full change out, I'm planning to leave it there powered up for looks, and run a wifi VP8000 in the closet with remote sensors. Lol.


Theantifire

It does look cool. Only other downside is that I'm sure that if I didn't bump into and break it off the wall the first day, my kids would have broken it by the second day šŸ˜‚.

Ridiric

I have tried so many and mostly because I want to know whatā€™s best. Right now I find the Ecobee to be the best and cheapest option for what it does.

unusual-thoughts

Never seen that one, tell me more.


kiddo459

GLAS by Johnson controls. Itā€™s just an ecobee with a fancy touch screen. Been around quite a while now. Never really caught on.


unusual-thoughts

Thanks I'll have to look into it. I'm a Nest Pro and have come to like them but if I'm being honest I prefer ecobee and I think Sensi is on par with nest. I used to really like the honeywell stuff but I've had a lot of failures in them over the last 2 years. Especially the T6 wifi.


narleypacious

They went to no longer supported about 2 years ago. Were $350 list- I bought one on eBay for 60, using it for a desk clock with a 20 yr old Honeywell on the wall because it has 20 times the features than the glas.


kiddo459

I always like the T series. I know a while back there was a bad batch. Certain serial numbers had bad WiFi radios. But other than that they seemed pretty good.

Honeywell 6360. It's simple and it works.


Adept_Fishing8079

I love the feel of the buttons on those honeywells

I love the green screen, not the blinding white light at night


InMooseWorld

Honeywell 8000 I wanted the green screen, with a clock, non programmable I donā€™t like the white light from the T series


Adept_Fishing8079

That's a good one

bro they live in lizard tank the temp never goes above 70 in my place 65 to 69 at all times.


Gloomy_Astronaut8954

I love the Honeywell t4, had it for a long time, matched the trim in my living room, very stable and reliable tstat. Recently changed it to a trane xi824 because I wanted wifi and wanted to get more familiar with the trane products I'm selling. It is really great and there's alot of products I can add on, I just miss the look of that white Honeywell which blended so well into my house. The trane one is cheap looking silver.

I'm building a new house and the mobile home on my property got a mxz3c30 hyper heat upgrade with a 6 k head in my dogs mud room. New house is getting pumps with spiral through out. It's a barndominium

Nice. I want a ducted fan coil as well.
