Just installed the Emerson Sensi Touch thermostat and wow, what a difference! The sleek black design looks super modern on my wall, and that backlight feature? Chef's kiss.

Installation was surprisingly easy for a DIY project. The app walked me through everything step by step. Pro tip: Take a photo of your old wiring before you start - saved me when I got confused about which wire went where.

Love that it works with Alexa! 'Alexa, set temperature to 72 degrees' never gets old. The energy reports are super helpful too - already seeing where I can save on HVAC costs.

Only hiccup was the WiFi setup on my Android. Had to call support (who were amazingly helpful) to figure out you need to connect to both your home network AND the temporary Sensi network during setup.

The temperature readings were off at first but stabilized after about a day. Now it's spot-on compared to my other thermometers around the house.

Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their thermostat. Just make sure you have that C-wire ready!
