Default Can you describe the installation issue?

I chose the Honeywell over the Nest for the better LCD screen and a few of the features.

I am able the check [and change] the temperature in the home from anywhere in the world via my iPhone or iPad. It's also easy to change between heat and A/C. The unit measures temperature and humidity, inside your home and you are able to monitor [and change] those readings from anywhere.

Maybe overkill, but this is just another small piece of my "connected" home.
Can you share the installation issue with us? I would like to get the Honeywell but heard that they would not support it, unless installed by an HVAC service man. Are the settings you made the same for all the newer Carrier units in the Villages?

Also, I thought that the Honeywell auto-switches between Cooling/Heating. It doesn't?

I would love to get one.
