I love almost everything about this thermostat. It looks great, the interface is beautifully designed and intuitive to use, it has settings to operate your HVAC just about any way you'd like. Using the Wifi internet key I found the wireless range was great and the web and phone apps are very well designed. This was the lowest price I found and after ordering 4 of these I had one that had a problem with the card slot, HVAC Parts Warehouse sent me a new one right away, didn't even have to return the defective one. The only improvement I can think of is it would be nice if the Wifi key wasn't visible sticking out the side of the thermostat case. Extremely happy.Best Deals on Venstar T6800 Commercial Thermostat
We have this thermostat installed in a rental unit, and purchased it primarily for the ability to program a screen lock password and setpoint limit (thus preventing the renters from making the place a virtual refrigerator!) The "cool" features such as the customizable background photos (& slideshow) were nice added touches. I was perhaps a bit naive for purchasing the T6800 instead of the T5800, as I was unsure of the differences. It seems that the T6800 simply has holidays available for programming ease in a business setting... something that I will never use. (But, for the virtually nonexistent price difference, I went with this version).I purchased the WIFI module as well, and am happy with the ability to see energy use and be able to manage temp settings when I know we don't have guests in the property. I have written a review for that product, as well, but will go ahead an just say that the app will allow basic changes (and to schedule, if you use that feature), but will not allow you to edit deadbands or any of the "installer" features, although, these will probably be a non-issue to most people).
The thermostat seems to be working well and was easy to install. I would definitely recommend taking a pic of your current thermostat wiring prior to attempting this install, to refer to. While the included instructions give the wiring diagrams, your situation may vary...
Honest reviews on Venstar T6800 Commercial Thermostat
What a disappointment ! Not only did I have to pay an additional $200 to get the thermostat wired correctly by an electrician (requires a 5 wire cable to AC unit) but the SD slot is 'defective': the Wifi adapter (purchased seperately) pops back out after only a few days from install.Overall, the thermostat does not look sleek/modern but rather a white plastic box mounted on the wall with unresponsive screen. Don't be amazed by the colour screen as shown in the picture, the screen is not HD or in high resolution and looks no different from standard thermostat. For the price, I would buy something else. Will return
