I loaded the app into my phone as well as my wife's. Once we are both over three miles away it sets back the temp by three degrees. This is optional function, of course. Other brands of smart thermostats can do this as well. Sensi is simple made by thermostat people. Others like the nest are made by silicon valley folks,meaning great software, not as great thermostat. But still very nice as it should be at twice the cost.
The thermostat functions are available remotely by free software (the phone app). The more advanced functions required a smart hub which cost 70-100. For a average homeowner you will not need this hub. The location away function does not require a hub. The location function was part of a software upgrade about a month ago.
