Sensi Support told me that only the professional HomeKit versions have a circulating fan feature. This was important for me because I live in a two story house and in summer the downstairs will be cool, while the upstairs is hot. The circulating fan will move cool air upstairs even when the AC unit is not running. Here is their exact message that was sent to me “Thank you for contacting Sensi Support. The circulating fan feature is only available on professional HomeKit models: 1F87U-42WF and 1F95U-42WF.
ST55 does, but I do not utilize.
Yes it does control AC and heat. We love ours and we have a few friends & family who also have purchased one and are very happy.
The WiFi is draining your batteries AND you do not have the C wire connected. The C wire (blue) is 24VAC (one leg of it). If you turn off WiFi, the thermo will run for months on the batt as a dumb thermo and NO schedule. If you don’t need WiFi, get the non-WiFi version which has the schedule built into the memory of the thermo. What Emerson needs is a model with WiFi AND the schedule in the device’s memory. The WiFi is hokey because if WiFi is “lost”, there is no access to the schedule! AND I HAVE lost WiFi in the middle of winter and woke up in a very chilly house at 3AM.
Not 100% sure if the question, but I believe it’s in the app settings where you can set the fan to run every so often for a set period of time just to circulate the air.
It should Yes
Only works with other voice activated devices.
It needs a c wire for sure.
The maker offers a paid subscription ($10/thermostat/year) service where you can monitor multiple thermostats from a browser.
I know it does with Alexa
The 1F87U-42WF model of the Sensi Thermostat is HomeKit compatible along with the Circulating Fan feature. The 1F86U-42WF model of Sensi is not compatible with HomeKit or the Circulating Fan feature. The functionality of both are the same.
