Just installed the Honeywell T6 Pro to replace my dead Ecobee, and wow—what a difference! My HVAC pro friend swore by this model, and I see why. Installation was stupid easy (even for someone who usually curses at wiring diagrams). The touchscreen is crisp, and the controls? No-nonsense. No fancy fluff, just gets the job done.

BUT… the app? Ugh. First, it sent me down a rabbit hole of wrong downloads before landing on the ‘right’ one. Then—surprise!—scheduling feels oddly limited. Where’s my ‘summer vs. winter’ preset love? Also, still scratching my head about compatible room sensors. Honeywell, throw us a bone here.

On the bright side: Geofencing works like magic, and swapping it mid-crisis for a friend in Florida was a lifesaver (shoutout to Amazon’s shipping). Still… that app rage is real. Solid 4/5—great hardware dragged down by software chaos.
