Good with some remote limitations

So far I've been pretty pleased. I lacked the powered C wire so I had to google how to connect an unused wire to power which took about 15 minutes to complete.
The only real ongoing issue I have is that you can't manage vacation hold remotely and if you turn on vacation hold you can't mange the thermostats remotely at all. I bought these just before a trip to replace two failing units and because I wanted to be able to save money while I was gone and come home to a cool house.
We ended up getting in a couple hours early which I knew was going to happen the day before yet because vacation hold was set I wasn't able to modify the setting. Thankfully it has some logic and knew to start cooling the house early so when I arrived it was already cooling but I was disappointed that I lacked control. In the future I plan to never use vacation hold and only modify temp and set it on permanent hold then turn off the hold when I'm a couple hours from being home. That way if plans change I can adjust it.
The one initial issue I had was that as soon as you register them online (which you have to do to manage them remotely) they start an update from the web which locks you out from remote access for over an hour.
Honeywell should understand that when people get new toys we want to play with them a bit before you lock us out to apply some update. They could be smarter with this and wait until 2am or prompt you for a time to update.
Other than that they seem to be very accurate on the temp and updates from my phone or computer take effect within seconds.
The fact you could change the theme color was nice, I picked a color that didn't glow so much at night because the screen never turns off.
This is my first smart thermostat but since I didn't want to train the Nest or pay another $100 I decided this gave me the features I wanted at a price I was willing to pay. I think I'm going to be happy with them long term.

The first time I watched this movie I didn't think much of it but as the days went by I found myself thinking about funny stuff in the show.
The next time I watched it I loved it.
Give it a second watch, don't look for a deep plot just sit back and enjoy.
