Just got my WYZE thermostat a few days ago. Easy to install but setup and configuration is confusing.
btw I’m in Canada so I use °C.
I initially used Behavior = “Better Comfort”, Schedule set point 20°C and Differential Temp 1.0°C, I was expecting a room temperature range of 19.0°C to 21.0°C but was getting 19.0°C to 22.0°C and 22.0°C was quite warm.
I tried viewing YouTube tutorials and reading WYZE Forum Posts but there were no solutions so I did my own testing - see attached image for results - does anyone know if WYZE has this info available somewhere?
NOT CLEAR HOW “Very flexible control”, “Flexible control”, “Balanced control”, “Accurate control”, “Very accurate control” and “Ready before arrival” is implemented.
Are there Hidden Parameters? Is there documentation?
My solution: 1) Reset Behavior to “Balanced”, 2) Override Temperature Preferences “Balanced” set points with my custom set points, 3) Create a new Schedule with defaults from my custom Temperature Preferences and 4) Leave “Balanced” Differential Temp at 1.0°C.
After this configuration, the room temperature range is now 19.0°C to 21.0°C, i.e. working as expected. See attached image for my current settings.
I will have to test again in the summer for AC.
Other things I noticed:
- Probably due to internals working in °F, and °C to °F conversion rounding.
- Sleep set point 18°C - sometimes displays 17.5°C on thermostat but always displays 18°C on app.
- Cannot change set point to 17.5°C/22.5°C/27.5°C - it changes to 18.0°C/23°C/28°C on thermostat and in app Schedule and Temp Pref.
- Differences between app temps and status and thermostat temps and status → app eventually catches up - Probably due to lag in WYZE server update and response.
