Hey Jordan - ironically, I just watched your review on this yesterday, and this morning we awoke to a cold house. The technician actually found the 10 year old digital thermostat to be the issue. So at the local big orange store here in Canada, I happened to find this exact thermostat. I didn't have to think twice about buying it after seeing your in-depth review of it so recently! Thanks, and keep up these great videos! :)
Stay at home mom here and I just received mine today in the mail. It was super easy step by step instructions through the sensi app. I was terrified to even try it and messing up the AC but it works great and I loooove it!
Hi Jenny. So after nearly one year, like McDonalds, are you still LOVIN' IT?! Any problems with it? Thanks!
Dang, I am really impressed just by how much effort they put into the app and the setup process.
You should check out the "geofencing" mode. It will drop 3 degrees in heating mode, or raise 3 degrees in cooling mode when you(actually your device, smartphone etc.) are 3 miles or more from home, then restore desired temp when you come back within the 3 mile distance. I think that's what you were looking for...although you'd have to switch out of "scheduling" mode to turn this on.
That's actually a great price. I paid $100 for a thermostat not connected to the internet.
Since it is cloud connect it looks like it could improve overtime. The mobile app could adjust the temperature when no one is home and adjust based on weather.
Recommend going lower on the temperature to save more money. Just wear light jacket and small heater to heat the room you're mainly in.
Great review as always.
great review...clean interface...functional...fair price at $100 compared to certain $200+ thermostats...i'm sold. :)
hi my furnace is two stage and i have simple Sensi Thermostat with 4 weirs now i wanna change to smart one winch is on same in your video is 4 weirs work or i need to add one more
There are needed settings for some heat pumps that are hidden in the menu, and NO mention of them in app or customer install sheet. Spent double my normal power bill last year due to failure of system to notify of improper setup, system ran emergency heat whole winter.
My AC/Heater units are old. Do you think I'll encounter any problems installing this unit? By the way, I got mine at the big "Jungle" store for $66.48 plus tax! I bought mine yesterday, but today I found out there may be some compatibility issues with router or with my old units.... Oooops. Do I need to return it? I guess I'll find out...
Why when i running just fan the compressor also start ?
solid review - thanks!
Options include a setting for heat/off/cool. Can these options be changed via the app or only on the unit itself? Specifically I need the ability to turn the unit off remotely. Is this possible?
Do you have to be connected to your home's wifi in order to adjust the temperature with your phone? or can you be out anywhere and still control it? If so am I able to control the thermostat, let's say if I am driving in my car on the way home from work? So in that scenario I would be working the app while not connected to wifi but using my 4G
You could be in a different country.
Simple ques: how do I change display back to fahrenheit from celsius?
Thanx, for another year tech video.
Hi! Where I can change farenheight for celcius?
What about temp alert!
Can you control the thermostat from 2 different phones?
Solid review. Thanks!
can you turn off scheduling?
The reason I bought this smart thermostat (Emerson Sensi)) over all the others was due to it's not needing the "C-wire" connection. This thermostat will run on batteries (2 AA, included) alone, as did my previous thermostat which was replaced. This was a HUGE selling point for me. This means I didn't need to reconfigure wires, and install a "jumper wire" inside my furnace. The review states the batteries are only "in case you lose power"...I in the home. I don't believe this is the only intention of the batteries.
I tried batteries alone. Battery life was less than a month. I ran new wires rather than come home to find my AC totally dead and the house at 95F.
dsrekjw it kills batteries that fast?
I just bought this because my kids are always messing with the thermostat. I got tired of waking up to them turning the air conditioning on when it is 50 degrees outside. Works great.
I BOUGHT ONE TODAY on ebay. The security code is also on the back of the thermostat.
Do you get to keep it? And are you gonna buy a second one?
That GPS feature is what will finally get me to upgrade my thermostat.
+Jordan Keyes If it's at all like the Nest, it should just detect when the app on your phone is no longer connected via local wifi to the thermostat and go into an away mode.
can you control the thermostat via app if you're not on the wifi network
He does mention that: ruclips.net/video/kK-qiE2zZu4/видео.htmlm10s
Yes
thankx for another tech video
have tried for a few days to get help from Sensi no returned emails no calls no help on line , i think it is just luck if you get one that works
The demo did not cover managing the thermostat from the unit installed on the wall, instead of by phone.
It has manual buttons so it works as a normal thermastat too so the app is just an additional option.
I have this thermostat and when I put the heat on .. to 65 for example .... it’ll get warmer than that and the heat doesn’t shut off ... no idea why - anyone know ?
Is your thermostat in a hallway? Do you keep the doors closed on your bedrooms? It's only measuring the temperature where the thermostat is, so if it's cooler there, it'll stay on.
Thanx for another tech video
Have you try it with Echo?
We just installed it and haven't talked to Alexa yet. Will try when we need to change the temperature. It's very warm in Richmond, VA so don't need heat or air conditioner on.
How do you reset your Wi-Fi signal when you lose it for some unknown reason
On the SENSI app, jump to the wifi connection and follow the instructions.
Got a NIB one for $50 on offer up.
Why didn't you speak about the C wire? The fact that I don't need to hook it up to this thermostat is the key reason I am purchasing it. I was disappointed to see that you didn't touch on it's greatest feature in comparison to other thermostats on the market.
The main reason I purchased it too. I had to return a Honeywell unit prior to this one because of the C wire, I personally did not want to mess around w/ wires on the furnace. I feel the mfg. of these newer units should outline it somewhere on the packaging to avoid returns on their units. Glad I found this one though.
I’m sure he would of mentioned it if he did not have the common wire which is visible in the clip. Most do not think about it.
@@robb4879 does the batteries replace the c wire?
Hey Will, the batteries do not replace the C wire. The batteries supply the power to the thermostat. I’m pretty sure all thermostats require batteries, but for people w/ the c wire it’s used for backup purposes. I’m not 100% sure about this. I’m amazed by how long the batteries last considering there is no c wire used on mine and i change the temp frequently in my condo from the Sensi app!!
You will not be disappointed! Just make sure to purchase the right version: www.cnet.com/news/emerson-sensi-wi-fi-thermostats-recalled-due-to-fire-hazard/
Thanks for the review ,you sold me, I bought one today online at Amazon
Can you lock in the certain temperature?
125ccMotoVlogger yes
At the beginning you say you are not good with DIY projects, then 6 minutes later, you say you have "a bit of experience with DIY projects". Which one is it? 🙂
I thought the same thing! Kind of wishy-washy, huh? :-)
Having some experience does NOT make a person skilled or "good" at it. I've played soccer but am definitely not "good" at it.
Most all have 4 wires.

Problem.... NO WIFI ???
Do not have wifi in the home. We have dial up only. Yes some people still use dial up only as thats all we have in our area..
Then you ask? why would you bye one when you dont have wifi? it was priced low.
Its setup for later down the road when we get it in our area...
How do you not have WiFi? Also, why in the world would you buy a "WiFi" Thermostat knowing you didn't have WiFi?
No mentioned of c wire ? Talks too fast.
I agree. I am a HVAC technician and noticed right away he was going way to fast on the installation of wires. Also it is important to explain where the 24 volt source may be coming from because if you don't have it shut off you could short out you transformer which would cause a homeowner about $150.00 for a service call. Sometimes just turning off the power to the furnace won't kill that source.
Sensi claims to have a web interface to control their thermostat, but no such site exists that I can find. And not one of these reviewers ever touch on it.
you are a wise man...if your wife is happy, you and your home would be too...
can i lock others in the house from messing with the temperature
+Jordan Keyes cool this makes it great for tenants
+Jordan Keyes here's my scenario. I'm moving into a house that has this thermostat already installed. would I be able to now take control of the thermostat without the security code? what's my solution? please help pppp
On the back of the thermostat, located on a sticker in the upper left corner.
Yes
There are so many of these on the market now, just not really sure how useful they? Do they not fall into the catergory of "Nice, flashy gadget?" The main one in the UK is sold by British Gas and its called Hive www.hivehome.com/
they are Nice, Flashy USEFUL gadget if you have a smart home!
They save considerable costs AND make you more comfortable, as well as being in complete control regardless of your location.
Comments on the Amazon say you will need to pay $1 per month to be able control it from the Internet. This video seems emerson advertising rather than review.
At the end of the video he thanks Emerson for sending the thermostat for review and for sponsoring the video. ruclips.net/video/kK-qiE2zZu4/видео.html
My thermostat is the exact one in your opening picture. From the beginning I had a problem with it cycling the AC too often. The only adjustment they had was already set to the slowest cycle time. I tried changing it to the fastest thinking maybe they got the adjustment backwards. They hadn't. The AC turns ON/OFF/OFF about every 4 to 6 minutes. But I was living with that because at least I could access the thermostat reliably through a webpage.
No longer.
The Emerson webpage changed in about Jan 2018 and it went from connecting to my thermostat robustly and quickly with no perceptible delay at all. To rarely connecting to my thermostat. Sometimes OffLine for days. Thermostat had not moved. It is still 10 feet line of sight of my wifi antenna.
The mythermostat.sensicomfort.com web page is gone and you are redirected to a new webpage which is only commercials to buy more Emerson. I have found no way to access my thermostat.
After a call to Emerson they told me the web page changed to manager.sensicomfort.com. No where can I find that URL in the redirected web page. How was I supposed to know? But it works. Perhaps in a few months when I return to my house I can figure out why it is connecting so unreliably.
That might be because you changed out a really old cheap thermostat that had a large differential and was cooling the the room way past the setpoint. It might have showed certain temps on the thermostat but it was not accurate. That is normal to cycle like that if it is very hot and the house is not insulated well.
No DIY exp....then you do have dyi exp...smh
I haven't watched the video in a while, but I think I said I'm not very good at DIY, not that I've never done it. ;)
I've got a decent amount of DIY experience, I just don't consider myself to be an expert at anything.
Supper!!!
At the beginning of the video you said you weren't very DIY and then at the end of the video you mentioned that you do have DIY experience.... kinda conflicting isn't it?
It's something I avoid. I have the experience, just not the desire.
Thanx, for another year tech video.
