Game-Changer for My Home — Affordable, Smart, and Actually Built Well
By Reid on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2025
Wyze really nailed it with this one. I’ve been a Wyze customer since the early days (cameras, sensors, plugs—you name it), and while some of their newer products have felt a bit hit or miss, this Wyze Smart Thermostat absolutely brings back the quality I remember them for. It’s one of those rare products that not only lives up to the hype, but genuinely improves your day-to-day life from the moment you install it. Installation was surprisingly easy—I’m no electrician, and I still had this wired and running in about 20 minutes. The app walks you through the steps super clearly, and Wyze gives you everything you need in the box (including a C-wire adapter if your setup needs it). Once it’s up, it just works. Instantly responsive, well-designed interface, and the screen is bright and easy to read. But what makes this a must-have—especially for anyone in a place like Colorado where the weather flips from freezing to sunny in a matter of hours—is the schedule feature. Being able to set different temps for mornings, afternoons, and nights has made a huge difference in both comfort and energy usage. I’m not waking up freezing or coming home to a sauna anymore. It just automatically adjusts, and I barely have to think about it. The remote access via the Wyze app is also perfect for those unpredictable days when you’re out longer than expected or coming home early—you can bump the heat or cool air from your phone and walk into the perfect temp. It’s one of those little modern conveniences that feels like magic once you have it. This thermostat is proof that Wyze still knows how to build reliable, thoughtful, affordable tech. It feels solid, runs great, and honestly makes me wonder why I didn’t upgrade sooner. You don’t need a $200+ fancy name-brand model—this one does the job just as well (if not better) at a fraction of the price. If you don’t have a smart thermostat yet, this is your sign to get one. Especially in a state with unpredictable weather like Colorado, the energy savings and comfort are totally worth it. It’s been a total game changer in my home, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for smart home upgrades that actually deliver.

Skip it!

I really wish I liked this. I have several other Wyze products, they aren't the best in their field but they usually get their job done in a cost effective manner. Their cameras, for instance, you won't be able to count pimples on someone's face but if all you care about is knowing whether or not someone is there and who it is, they work great. I was hoping for the same with their thermostat. I just needed something that would be connected to wifi and I could run a schedule on remotely since it's for a location we are infrequently at. This seemed to be the ticket. The installation was straightforward-ish. It's a thermostat, it's not too hard to install...but the app forces you to walk through their entire handheld installation process that takes 20 minutes or so. There's no "Skip" button. That's only slightly annoying because you only have to do it once, right? Nope. Anytime the device is reset or it is removed and readded to the app it forces you to do it over. It really needs a decision tree after hitting the Plus button that says "I've already installed the device" or "I need help". Extra super annoying is that it demands that you tell it which wires you have to get through the process....so you have to pull it off the wall any time you reset it to see the wires. It also forces you to test the heat and AC and all that. Extra bonus, it keeps saying I have a wire connected that is definitely not connected. It functionally works by telling it to ignore it, but still annoying. So still, how often do you really have to go around resetting your thermostat? I've had a pair of ecobees at our house for three years and I've only had to reset one of them one time. Well, this Wyze thermostat I've had to reset pretty much weekly or even more often. It loses wifi connection *constantly*. To make things even more bizzare, it doesn't actually lose the connection. The router shows it attached and even the thermostat status page shows a strong signal, connection, and IP address...but the thermostat shows disconnected as does the app. The only way to get it back is a full hard reset which seems to work for a few days then it falls off again. Really annoying since the whole purpose of this thing was to be able to remotely turn the HVAC on before we drive out. Now I have to spend the first 20 minutes resetting the thermostat then waiting on the place to cool down. Come winter it will be an even bigger issue since I'll have no way to know if the heater is keeping it above freezing. I'm past the return period but it will be going in the trash.
