Possibly Amazon's greatest product
My wife and I installed the Smart Thermostat in less than 90 minutes. Part of that time was the careful removal of the existing thermostat. Amazon thinks of everything, including labels to mark the existing wiring. This alone is says the installation was designed for the non-tradesperson. The step-by-step instructions on Alexa are excellent. Please be careful to follow wire placement instructions as they may differ from the original positions. Alexa does most of the set up after installation in just a few minutes.
Thus far, the thermostat has held a stable temperature and we notice the fan run less. All good. It is especially useful to be able to issue instructions to the thermostat from anywhere in the house we have Alexa.
All in all, this product is a gem.
Update: We bought a second Amazon Thermostat and found the answer to zoning. First, as the instructions note, if you have a wireless thermostat it must be powered down before doing the Alexa assisted setup. Once that’s done, all thermostats can be powered on. Next we renamed the thermostats to something making them easily identifiable to us. Then I set the first thermostat we installed to one temperature and the second to a different temperature. Success! They can be zoned and addressed via echo by their new names.
