The thermostat itself is sleek and nice looking with a clear display.

The ADT Pulse system recognized the thermostat right away. Pulse detected it as GE Security: Basic Thermostat Model IS-ZW-TSTAT-100. The Pulse features work just fine with the thermostat: monitoring temperature, setting temperature, and setting mode (heat/cool/auto/off). Since this is the replacement for the 2Gig Z-Stat CT30 thermostat, I assumed it would have the same features. That is not the case. The CT30 is a 5-1-1 day programmable thermostat, although those features are unnecessary and disabled when you use it with Z-Wave. This thermostat has no programming or set-back controls. That won't matter if you are using it with Z-Wave. However if for any reason you ever wanted to use it without Z-Wave, it just allows 1 constant setting.

I purchased a Honeywell only to realize it needed a 24v common wire. Before I went about trying to run the wire, I decided to see if there were any Zwave devices that ran on batteries....hence the 2gig CT100.

As the thermostat is more than 6 feet away from the panel I added a GE hand remote to the panel and then added the CT100 to the remote. I already had alarm.com services active, so as soon as the new device was added I checked the empower tab and sure enough, it was there and working.

Now to eBay the Honeywell....!

The thermostat operates as advertized. The display and touch interface are nice. When I paired it with my z-wave controller, it showed up as 3 devices. I eventually figured out which of the 3 was functional and I have been able to live with it, however it was a bigger headache than expected.

Honest reviews on 2gig CT100 Z-Wave Programmable Thermostat (White)

I wanted to be able to set the temperature at my condo before guests arrived, and set it back again after they left. This product, along with a VeraLite Controller worked perfect for my needs.

Only thing I've noticed: my guests sometimes have difficulty figuring out to tap the up/down arrows on the screen to change temperature. they keep wanting to hit the 'Mode' switch.

Overall the installation went fine, even on my oddly-wired Heating/AC unit. I did have to call the company for assistance on which wire went where. They were helpful.

I have two of these in my home and love them. Both are part of a larger home automation system, controlled via z-wave and a VeraLite. Both as a standalone thermostat and as a z-wave device, these perform very well.

My house was built in 1999 and had old honeywell thermostats when I bought it in 2006. After a few years, one of those original thermostats went out and I tried to replace it with a newer Honeywell. The first one I bought was the wrong type (apparently) and Honeywell support directed me to a different model. I bought the one they recommended, but it never worked exactly right... which was mostly my fault for not tracing the wires but partially Honeywell's fault for lacking documentation. When I bought these, I traced the wires to be sure I had everything correct, but discovered that I didn't really need to because the CT-100's documentation covered the wiring scheme I have.

Easy to install (much easier than the honeywells because of wire terminal location). This will likely not matter to anyone but me, but the large footprint of this thermostat covered the old, painted-over-poorly many-times spots left by my old thermostats. It's very sleek and slim and the touchscreen menu operation couldn't be easier. Pairing with the VeraLite was also a breeze. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of schedules/programs. That's easily overcome with any intelligent z-wave controller, though. Highly recommend!
