HoneywellT6R Wireless Smart Thermostat - works with Amazon Alexa - Black

The media could not be loaded. Purchased and installed this product to give me and my family a modern and greater control, mainly over our heating system, but water heating schedule too. The wifi thermostat totally replaces our old thermostat and improves the heating schedules massively with the ability to control and modify almost infinitely throughout the day and night, with daily events, 5/2 events, independent events, not only from the unit but from our smartphones, Google assistant and also using ifttt triggers, ie if the temperature drops below -3 outside or snows etc, it can automatically increase the temperature in the house by 2 degrees.Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the product, interface, looks, it's flexibility and it's performance.Wiring up was fun, but complicated solely by the fact my house was extended and the cabling to various devices changed colour and was unmarked, I would recommend a professional installer is used unless you have experience and confidence to install yourself as the wiring centre can be very daunting unless you know what all the wires from the boiler, immersion stat, room stat, and 3 way valves are, or you have the ability to identify these via wiring diagrams and testing.

Nice and easy to install. I got an electrician friend to do it mainly because the location for the controller was a bit tight for space and he'd make a better job of it. Took him about 40 minutes. Overall the thermostat looks great and has a nice responsive screen. It has to be connected to the mains electricity which is the only downside really. A rechargeable one would have been better but it's not a major complaint. It seemed to take about a week to 'learn' the heating characteristics of the house. That first week was a little odd with the thermostat not demanding heat when I thought it should have but after 7 or 8 days it has been fine. Works great with Alexa and the app, although that is pretty basic really. Geo-fencing not all that reliable but I put that down to the Google accuracy on my phone more than the app itself, since other geo enabled apps are unreliable too. All in all, very pleased with the purchase.

Installation was very easy, instructions were clear. Works well with iOS app and programming of schedules and temperature are very easy. Up and running very quickly. Only small downside is that it requires plugging in to a power supply rather than having a battery powered option, so limits where the unit can be located without trailing wires, hence loses a star for that.

I purchased this for my parents as an easy to use Apple HomeKit thermostat. In the 6 years this has been installed, I have been through 2 Nest thermostats while this has continued to soldier on. Overall a great quality thermostat that I recommend to everyone.

This is a lovley looking device let alone everything else - it took me a whiLE to choose the right make - I wanted one not just compatible with Alexa or works with Alexa. I wanted one that worked directly with my Echo set up which starts with the Echo Plus.This device works with it and of course req some set up with no extar outlay for a hub device.The phone app needs installing and the Amazon skill to make everything work together which is now does and its marvelous.Being able to set a routine on yoru phone and any temp - ytrun on or off if you are out is great.Being able to say simply Alexa set temp 20 degrees and it does it is amazing to me as my smart home gradually grows.The room thermostat req a socket to power unlike my previous device what ran on a couple of batteries - which means find a spot to place this in your home rather than in the hall out of site most of the time.Main reason for buying this then its its design and touchscreen and the fact that in bed you can simply ask Alexa to put th eheating on when you wake up before getting out of bed.The set up was a bit fiddly as usual with this kind of thing - its says do this and it doesn't work - you do something else and it does.Its able to set up all manner of routines - I just think its the smartest looking out of a bunch of boring looking ones myself.Def works with the Echo Plus and phone (req) or just th ephone if Alexa isnt part of your needs.Alexa was the reason I got this and the more devices that work directly it the easier this will all get...

Had this for just over a week now. It’s a good looking thermostat and does not look out of place on the shelf.I have not used it’s scheduler but have linked it direct to the Apple home app. This is where the real benefit is. Heating on till 10:00 in case we work from home but if we both leave the house at 8:00 then heating turns off.Heating turns on if we leave work, or when we get home but can also be set to come on at a time if we are already home.Heating is set to go off at midnight but say goodnight to Siri and heating goes off.I have the heating in the bedroom come on later than downstairs so linked it with a HomeKit thermometer so it turns thermostat up if the bedroom is too cold and then returns it normal when it’s warmed up just between 21:00 and 23:59 but only till you say goodnight to Siri.What I like most is you don’t have to use voice control and it’s very easy to operate from the home app or the Honeywell app.
