Getting better
Getting better and more reliable with each upgrade, but why doesnt the new version support more than 3 thermostats with the VAM like it now does with the Tuxedo? No support for VAM?? I use the VAM and I have 4 thermostats at home but can only see 3 at Total Connect although all 4 appear at my VAM web address.
Previous review:
Great interface and functionalities, and therefore great potential, but unfortunately very unstable and unreliable. Overall, lights and security system work ok but Ive had trouble with every other Zwave device. Namely, the garage door opener works, but I cannot trust what the app tells me. Sometimes it tells right, sometimes it tells me the door is closed when in fact it is opened, and vice-versa. Same with door locks. It tells me the door is unlocked when it is locked and vice-versa. If you are away from home, which is the main point of having a system like that, how can you trust what the app tells you? The worst is the thermostat. It works fine by itself, and if Im home I can control it directly from the VAM web address using my iPhone or iPad. But the Total Connect app simply does not control the thermostat. The controls are there, beautiful interface, and Im able to change the temperature and everything else, but the thermostat doesnt accept the commands. It is not an issue with the thermostat because like I said I can remotely control it through the VAM. Perfectly and totally. But the commands from Total Connect are useless. And as you all know there is no customer service whatsoever from Honeywell. Pity. It could be a great product.
