Works as it should but a little lacking
on October 16, 2022
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seems to be doing it's job but I think the signal strength on this new one isn't as good as the old one I had. It also has half the antenna array the old one had. Not sure if that matters as much as what's inside. I think they do this on purpose so you have to invest in the mesh unit to extend the signal. My downstairs thermostat is barely connected and it's pretty much almost line of sight. It about 40" of open air with no walls in between and it dosn't connect well sometime. All my wired devices are excellent like they should be. Guess it's just the nature of technology!

Good stand that lets you adjust the angle

Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
This stand is not bad but it does lack the tilting angle that I was hoping for. It does tilt the unit forward but I wish it would go a little more to make the screen fully vertical. It almost gets there but there is still an angle upward toward the ceiling. As this is my bedside table alarm clock and so much more I'd like to be able to see it better from position that is a slight bit below the device. Other than that personal issue it is well made and the show stay put on the stand very well.

Very good system and great price.
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seems ot be a very well made system with good components as far as I can tell. It was a very good price for the spec in the system. I was shopping around for a new tablet but it seems that they are all about 10" now so I went with a little bigger with more power than an android table. This one is a full Windows 11 and from what I have heard can handle many of the same android apps. Not sure if that is going to happen since I can do most things I do on the web browser without loading special apps. I think the only thing missing would be dedicated video and not have to rely on the integrated kind. I have found that the dedicated ones work just a bit better but this seems to be working well so I'm not complaining (yet). Hopefully everything I try to do can be accomplished with this system.

Works well but seems very flimsy. Did have trouble pairing with Bluetooth on my system and had to use the dongle. Once the dongle was used everything seemed to work fine and connect correctly.

Replaced older model
on April 9, 2021
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed to replace my older model GE Microwave so I looked for the similiar model. The only thing I noticed upon opening the box was the feel of this new unit. It feels a bit light and the door and latches are nothing like the older one. It seems ot be good in the short time that I've had it and seems to do what you need it to do so I can only hope this one last as long as the one it replaces but at 20-25 years old I don't have high hopes just due to the feel but I could be wrong! I'll get back to you in 20 years on the longevity!

Overall good quality at an affordable price
on March 27, 2021
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall the phone is pretty darn good. The screen is bright and responsive and the resolution is superb, everything I've done so far looks great on screen. The battery seems to last for a good long time, haven't had to charge it throughout the day and charging it overnight keeps it going all day so far. The usual thin slippery size needs an auxiliary case of some kind so you don't throw it across the room if you move. storage space and app space is good so far. A lot less than half of the 128GB storage is being used by the apps I have present and the operating system which is about 13% so plenty of room for other things. There is somewhat of a learning curve between this and my old phone (also Motorola) in regard to the operating system. I can't find things and the volume control is completely different. It has a new kind of home, open app switching and stopping apps interface but I found it did let me return to the old arrow, dot and square at the bottom to control those things. Those controls are much more decisive and easier to use than the swipe here in different ways for everything. I guess I could have gotten used to the new way but why change something that has worked. This of course is my personal preference. The camera on this model seems pretty awesome, still nowhere near the quality of my DSLR but better than previous versions. 5G seems to work OK but I'm not sure yet. Sometimes it seems to lag and it shows I have the signal and a good signal but you wait for something to happen sometimes. It does have auto switching for the data track so if you're in an area with better 4G LTE then you drop to that and have good access. My building where I work has internal antennas that are LTE so I get that there because 5G isn't available yet. So far I'm not impressed by the 5G but it is in it's infancy getting to be a toddler soon so there is room to grow. If you're at a wireless network it is easy to connect and you can always use that which could be faster than even 5G at it's best. I purchased two of these phones, one for me and one for the wife. I am always a little confused as to why two of the same model phones act differently during set up and in use in some regards. They both work well just some things work differently and it's not apps but things on the phone. This is just an observation and nothing that is a detractor for use.

They work very good for the price. I was replacing a few that were stolen and found this package and I thought I'd give it a try. They perform very well and the capacity is more than sufficient for my needs. I use them for music to be played on my car stereo using that USB port. No drops or skips and the music sound great, all I can ask for so they work!!

Not exactly what I was looking for but it does what it's meant to do. Clean your monitor screens, TV's and anything else with a screen. Comes with it's own cloth so there is no searching for the right type of cloth for that big screen TV so you don't scratch it up.

This one was to replace an older model and it was worth the price. It is much faster to boot up and has some good new features. It seems to be very accurate and gives you a heads up on what's coming up so you can make lane changes and make turns without trouble. Overall a good device.

Great TV for the price point
on November 17, 2020
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had Samsung products for quite some time now and this TV does not disappoint. It has a great picture quality for the price point and the clarity is better than my previous TV that was maxed out at 1080P resolution. This 4K resolution is definitely noticeable in it's difference. Side by side in the store you can see a difference between the four Q series TV's but once you get it home it's hard to notice that this one doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the upper models. Overall there is good color and clarity.

Easy smart lighting. Add color to any room with a single smart bulb, which offers warm to cool white light as well as 16 million colors. Use Bluetooth for instant light control in one room, or connect to the Hue bridge (sold separately) to unlock the full set of smart lighting features.
 

When I use the sunset/sunrise routine, it defaults the color to the "white" color, even though I set it to another color. I can't seem to find the setting to keep it the color I set it to when I run this routine. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming since the sun is a big bright white/yellow light the sunrise/sunset mode follows the same colors. I do know that there are several other options for color and ambiance in the Phillips app. I use the bulbs with the Echo so I don't have that capability (it's a limitation on the Echo when you don't use the Philips hub). If you are using the hub and have the Phillips app you should have some other choices of colors that perform the way you want it to for waking and sleeping. Good Luck!

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR~ certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
 

Can this be used to cycle just the fan at a set time period (say turn on every half hour for 5 minutes) just to keep the air flow going even if I don't need the AC or heat? I live in a very polluted area and want my air to be filtered.

It does have some capabilities but it doesn't appear that you can set a schedule as you describe. It appears you only have four choices a day to run the fan in circulating mode (without air or heat). I have found customer service is very helpful (so far) pre and post purchase. I had questions prior to buying the thermostat and they answered in a very timely manner. I have a small annoyance issue (nothing to do with function) and they are checking into that now for me. Good luck!

I currently have a Honeywell magic stat ct3200. Will the current wiring work with the Honeywell home smart color thermostat.

I just looked up your model and it looks like the ones I replaced. My two older Honeywell thermostats were swapped out with the two home smart color thermostats. The wiring on most thermostats is generally the same depending on your system and it capability. There are a couple of limitations about some systems that these will not work on. One that I can think of right now it electric baseboard heat (these will not work with that type of system). You can check on the Honeywell web site for more details and their customer service is very good. They answered my pre-purchase questions in a very timely manner. There are about six different combinations of wiring that you can use with these thermostats. You do need a "C" wire and that can be hooked up in about five minutes usually, my older thermostats didn't have that wire attached. There should be extra wires in the bundle behind the current thermostat and you just need one to be hooked up on you main units control board and you're good to go. I did exactly that and things work very well. Just head the warnings of turning off the units at the breaker before doing the wiring. The new thermostats are awesome, hooked them to the app and the Alexa!! Just be aware there are some limitations in the Alexa skill from Honeywell but you can change the temp, get the temp and a couple of other things, which is all you really need! That's what you would do if you walked over to it and changed it there once it was set up.Good Luck!

I bought a Nest Learning, had it installed by HVAC company, but had problems with heat. Nest support, after a lot of questions, told me it was not compatible with my 10 year old Rheem heat pump system. Is this Honeywell product compatible?

This is a very specific question about a particular unit. I would contact Honeywell customer service and ask them. They were very helpful with questions I had as pre-purchase inquiries. Good Luck!

What happens if you lose electric for a while, will it keep its settongs?

Not sure how long it will keep those settings. If you have a Honeywell account those setting will be held and you can just push them back tot he thermostat when it is operational again. I did take mine off the wall after setting it up to check it on another mount downstairs (that one wasn't working (blown fuse at the furnace) so I was testing) then when I brought it back upstairs it was still set the way I had it and I didn't' have to do anything. It was only disconnected a short time though! Good Luck!

Is it possible to use the App to control the thermostat without having a Honeywell account? I do not want my data on the internet. I just want remote control.

Honeywell didn't ask for anything sensitive to get their account for the controls of the thermostats. It was the usual kind of warranty information. Name, address, etc. If you long on and check before you buy it then you can make a decision prior to getting the thermostat. If you still don't want the account then the answer is no to your question. Good Luck!

How do I install this thermostat?

This question is quite generic. Honeywell packages these with screws and anchors to mount it to the wall. You will need a level to check for level installation and the mounting plate shows you were to place the level. You will need to know your wiring from your old thermostat and have a "C" wire available or a way to connect it at the main unit with wiring that is already present, if not you would have to run wire. If you don't quite get it you should probably call your local HVAC company to have this done. It's not hard but the main control board on the heat/ac unit is sensitive and costly to replace if you make an error. Good Luck!

Hi, can that thermostat work with a two wire

Not exactly sure what you mean by two wire. Is it that you only have heating? If that is the case it will work for your heating system as long as it's a 24V system and you have a "C" wire or are able to get one connected to power the thermostat. You may need to get an HVAC company in to check your wiring before you purchase this. If you have more pre-purchase questions the customer service at Honeywell was great when I contacted them with questions. Good Luck!

how does this unit calculate or measure humidity? I see a humidity display , so there must be a sensor or calc.

The thermostat itself is a bit heavier than I thought it was going to be so I can only assume some of what I see sticking out the back of the case might be a sensor for just that purpose. Other than that you could ask Honeywell. Their customer service was very helpful at my pre-purchase stage with questions i had before buying the Thermostat. Good Luck!

How to change the battery

This thermostat doesn't have a battery to change. It runs off the "C" wire on your 24V HVAC system.
