Today, I learnt what is a c-wire. Saying that so readers realize I am no expert :-)

Here's a review from the BGE Marketplace. Along similar lines to what kdiggz wrote above.

"
Ensure You have a Comminicating System
I gave a one star rating only because I was not able to use the thermostat with my communicating heat pump system. I was disappointed because otherwise the device appeared to meet my needs. Potential purchasers should ensure they do not have a communicating system. I saw nothing in the specs I reviewed before purchasing the device that it was not compatible with a communicating system but only that you needed to have a C wire going to the thermostat. Later, a tech pointed to a link opening up a compatibility chart that was more specific than the original specs I saw for the device. However, that chart was not available or obvious on the initial site I purchased the device from."

What usually are the main differences between this one and the Google nest ones?

Aren't these the type the power company can shut you down if demand usage is high?

I have two of these on heat pump systems but one is an older version and missing a feature (I don't remember what off hand). They work quite well for me. In for one from Duke Energy. Thanks!

I have 4 of these and the one connected to 4 wire heat and cool truly does not need a c wire. For heat only, you can add an external adapter, cool only can work by using the fan wire as a power source. Nest and eco bee have more presence sensors and adaptive controls but if all you want is wifi and app control, these are solid and work with SmartThings and Alexa integration.

OR they will adjust temps higher by 4 degrees to prevent AC from going on during load peak AKA When you want it the most!

Reason I didn't go forward. Save the bitchin by fam to save $1 LOL.

I think you usually need to authorize the energy company to do this or you can also opt-out.

I have 2 of these picked them up last year during Prime day for 75. Excellent at what they do for the price. Simple setup with just enough options to make it worthwhile if you just want a thermostat to connect to your google/alexa environment which will allow you to customize usage more with routines and triggers.

I installed this 2 months ago and love it.
My thermostat cable has a C wire, but it isn't connected at either end, so it is running entirely off the internal battery. When the weather improves and I don't care if something horrible happens I will hook up the C wire. No, there is no reason to expect a problem, but there is also no reason to hurry; it is fine on batteries.

I did not sign up with the utility to save a bit and give them control over my thermostat.
