I recently upgraded to the SunTouch CommandPlus thermostat, and wow—what a difference! My old thermostat felt like a relic compared to this sleek, touchscreen wonder. The 4.3" display is crisp, and navigating settings is as easy as scrolling through my phone.
The installation? A breeze. I reused my existing floor sensor, and the wiring was straightforward (though I did wish the wires in my electrical box were a tad longer). Within 30 minutes, I had it up and running—no electrician needed.
What blew me away was the Wi-Fi control. Lying in bed, I can now adjust my bathroom floor temperature via the Watts Home app. No more icy surprises on winter mornings! The app’s energy monitoring feature is also a nice touch—I’ve already noticed a dip in my electricity bill.
One gripe: The max floor temp caps at 85°F. During a recent cold snap, I missed the scorching 110°F my old ‘dumb’ thermostat delivered. Still, the trade-off for smart features feels worth it.
Pro tip: Spend the extra $8 for the ConnectPlus model if you want Alexa integration. Setting up routines like ‘Good Morning’ (warm floors by 7 AM) or ‘Away Mode’ adds next-level convenience.
Bottom line? This thermostat turned my clunky heated floors into a modern luxury. If you’re on the fence about upgrading—just do it.
