And of course you also have to consider whether you have only a furnace and heat or if you also have air conditioning. When I renovated my new retail store last year I had an entirely new heating system installed which consists of 2 roof top units which are heat pumps with a natural gas furnace as backup when it's too cold for the heat pump to efficiently draw heat from the air. They are from American Standard and the company was told by American Standard that they have to use their smart thermostat because the other ones wouldn't work correctly with these units. Fortunately their app is also accessible except for the scheduling part and it si also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant.

Thanks Richard. That really helps. One of the things that makes it difficult to decide is the fact that I do not even if the wiring of my heating/cooling system has the Common wire, usually referred to as the C wire. So far the only smart thermostat I found which does not need the C wire is Nest Gen3, also known as nest learning thermostat. However, I do not know how accessible the nest app is. Do you have any experience with this app? How accessible is it?

We have a Honeywell thermostat that uses the Total Connect Comfort (tcc) app which is completely accessible. The physical thermostat isn't something I would want to deal with on my own, but one could mark it to adjust up or down. So, the real question for me is, is the app they use accessible.

From the past discussions I understood that both Honeywell and google nest make reasonably accessible thermostats. However, each company makes several models which makes it hard to determine which model is the most accessible. Needless to say that technology is changing rapidly, and because of this, some models are no longer available while newer models are being pushed into the markets. My thermostat is no longer reliable. Therefore I hope I can get your opinions, based on your experience, which is more accessible, honeywell or nest, and which model? Does the installation need a technician or it can be done by any handyman? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
