Good luck, Mark Pasted Text from Last Year: Hello James, Thank you so much for the link. Yes, having tactile buttons is so very important to me. I shutter at the thought of having to completely depend upon an external device in order to adjust basic functions of the thermostat. I will definitely give this a look. Thank you again.

I’ve had a Sensi model st55 for 2 years now.Be sure you get this cheaper $80.00, model available from Amazon. It has buttons that control selecting heat or air conditioning and changing the temperature and more. It also works with Alexa and there is an app for I Phone and I think, Android. Note, the more expensive model is flat screen only. No buttons. The buttons are important for a blind person to use the thermostat in case your internet goes down. The $80.00, thermostat with buttons is model ST55. Here is an Amazon link. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NB1OB0I/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=16b53869f5473df1c2e96eaa091b5ae3&hsa_cr_id=1865675060401&pd_rd_plhdr=t&pd_rd_r=a4851b0d-8d87-4199-8c2b-32c4437daff2&pd_rd_w=8kn92&pd_rd_wg=ViTHK&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_bkgd -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of regs2...@rogers.com Sent: Monday, November 27, 2023 1:58 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Home Thermostat Ok folks, wondering what experiences everyone has had with their home thermostats? I've have had the Ecobee for the past two years and it continually loses our Wifi network. The solution to get it going again requires somebody with sight, which I don't have. I'm resigned to replacing it and would like to hear your experiences with other brands where you have been able to operate confidently with voice assist?
