The instructions, including the ones for if you don’t have a C wire, were well done. The product doesn’t say made in China and the syntax looks like a native English speaker.

It had all the pieces all sealed as you might normally expect so my suspicion is someone got this and realized they needed a C wire and didn’t have one and just sent it back.
It probably took me 15 minutes to put in one mostly because I had to figure out how to stuff some excess wire back into the wall on a stiff, bundle and retrieve all of the correct tools I needed. That said, and as again above, the instructions were good, and everything went exactly as detailed in them.
On my pictures I show the completed installed unit and the original base plate I had with the old thermostat. The instructions say, don’t depend on the wire colors, but mine were all perfect, except for the common, which was blue. The C wire is the common power wire. The new thermostat has push to insert and release instead of screws like Modern receptacles do and we’re easy for me to use .
The touchscreen certainly is not as sensitive as my iPhone, however, I found it worked very easily, better than the new Walmart, self check out, LCD screens, and my hands were a little cold is probably the only problem.
I did download the app And the thermostat automatically gives you the MAC code and another required one when you do your initial boot up. Wi-Fi connected the first time with absolutely no issues but I was within 15 feet of my router so I know I had very good signal strength. The application has an option to walk you through set up for programming which is good because the manual schedule programming is not all that intuitive the way it’s laid out. The walk-through option works extremely well. I did the schedule programming on the application, not on the unit directly.
I can’t agree with any of the negative comments about the device, the clips, the screen , or any missing parts because this one was perfect. However, I realize it’s just the one that I received.
I did order two at the same time from Amazon and for some reason they decided to ship them as two separate orders, maybe they are coming from different warehouses, though I doubt it. Of course, USPS, using part-time people this time of year, has been doing a C minus job on most of my orders and a flat F on one, although sometimes they get to B plus. UPS has been surprisingly good and as usual FedEx the best by far. I haven’t gotten my second device in so we’ll see if that goes as well as the first and I’ll update this if not.
