Win Your Own Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat

— April 22, 2014 — Tech
This is a sponsored post

One day during the brutally cold, drawn-out winter in the Great White North, I came to the realization that my home thermostat was out of date. With such extreme temperature changes up here in Canada, there were often times I arrived home to frigid temperatures. I'd had enough and decided it was time for an upgrade. That's why I was thrilled when Honeywell approached me to review their new Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat, and even offered me one to test out for myself. Little did they know that I was seeking to upgrade, so the timing couldn't have been better.

When it was delivered, I tore through the packaging quicker than a kid on Christmas. I was so excited to finally have a piece of technology that allows me to control my home's temperature from afar. After carefully reviewing my home compatibility*, I was ready to install the Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat.

The two things I love most about this thermostat is that I can control it remotely from my phone or laptop and that its screen is large enough to display a ton of useful information. Its sleek design made me assume the thermostat would be super high-tech and difficult to use, but the Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat is easy to get the hang of since its interface looks so similar to typical digital thermostats. On the other hand, the only setback I encountered was the installation process. Even though I consider myself to be an above-average handyman, I found it a tad difficult to install. Then again, my electrical wiring knowledge isn't what I thought it to be. Thankfully, there were many instructional videos to help guide me through the process.

All in all, I'd say the Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat is the best home upgrade I've made in a long time. The ease of remotely controlling my home's temperature is something I'd never thought was possible. And since I'm very finicky when it comes to ideal room temperatures, being able to adjust my own via a mobile app is beyond delightful.

If you're still using an old-school or out-of-date thermostat, I highly recommend upgrading today. In fact, Trend Hunter wants to give one lucky reader a Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat to enjoy, too. All you have to do is tweet us the most outdated piece of tech you use, and we'll launch you into the digital age with your very own Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat.
