Our home came with a "dumb" T6 thermostat. But being a newer Honeywell thermostat model, the backplate is the exact same as the one that came with this thermostat. So installation was literally pull the old face panel off, and snap this one on there, plug and play, 30 seconds job.Setup was incredibly easy too, the step by step setup on the screen is pretty intuitive. There were a lot of reviews saying if you have a mesh WiFi, or any system that's got the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band combined it would not work, and that worried me at first, because I want to have my device under one SSID, and I have several APs on my network.But the solution to that is actually very simple, I just found a old network extender, set the extender to connect to my home network, where it can read and connect to my main combined band WiFi, and then ask it to broadcast the extension network in 2.4Ghz mode only, under a different SSID. I then connect the thermostat to that extended network, and problem solved! It is still managed by the DHCP server on my main network, the thermostat never drops offline, and I keep my combined 2.4Ghz+5Ghz single SSID setup for the main WiFi. I used it like this for about a month now and had zero issues with connectivity. I agree this should not even be a problem to begin with in this day and age, but this workaround took me less than 10 minutes to get setup and running, and half the time was trying to reset my old network extender to factory settings...I did notice the humidity sensor is a bit off though, it reads high by about 10% compared to my other humidity sensors in the house, and those 3 are all in agreement +-2%. And it's not just the thermostat itself, I bought a separate room sensor for it afterwards, and that ones reads about 10% high too, so maybe it's just how they are calibrated by Honeywell? But anyways, that's not the reason why I got it to begin with so it doesn't matter much to me. Overall very happy about the thermostat, the only show stopper that worried me initially was the WiFi situation, and that turned out to not be a problem at all.
