Control-IT Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 What is the preferred thermostat that integrates? Nest, Ecobee, etc. The C4 one doesn't have any intelligence built in and is pretty blah in design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmoonly Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Nest maybe the easiest. I prefer ecobee with the remote sensors and alexa built in if you need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzlot Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I use C4 with remote sensors. t-stats in the basement hidden away. Not sure I am missing any true intelligence. Set up a program and just let it run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivam Paw Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 We use Nest which is working perfectly fine, though Ecobee 3 seems interesting and worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own. 'Intelligence' to be used on more heating setups than almost any other? I'll take it There's lots of options though. Houselogix actually has a STACK of t-stat drivers they made themselves and still sell and support covering honeywell in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLite Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We use Honeywell Wifi thermostats with the relevant HouseLogix driver. The integration with C4 works reliably. The Honeywell thermostats also have an Alexa skill that works fine, although I confess we rarely ever use that feature. As far as I can tell, there are many thermostats that integrate well with C4. The best thing to do might be to figure out if your HVAC system prefers one brand of thermostat over another. In our case, we had a Honeywell zone control board that works better with Honeywell thermostats. Alternatively, if you have a furnace and compressor capable of continuously variable speeds, you will probably only get that full functionality if you use a thermostat that is the same brand as the HVAC equipment. Or, if none of that applies, just find the one that looks the coolest to you. Chances are it will work well with C4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
