I personally installed four of these in my son's home alone three years ago, at least 2-3 of which were without a c wire. At the time I spoke to the Emerson Electric (mfr of Sensi brand and coincidentally local to where I live) technical support staff about their claim to not need a c wire (lots of other sellers claim no need but fail to point out that this means their devices rely on batteries which obviously die and usually at in opportune times). The technician's explanation was what I used in my post. It makes sense and I've read it online in other places confirming this. The units still work now and there's no way the batteries would have lasted that long.
Now that I've told you what I've actually done and my research with multiple sources, it's your turn to share with us. Have you installed one or more of these exact units? Did you call the manufacturer? Or do you just feel superior making negative comments? This forum is about sharing and helping others.
BTW, for anyone considering spending extra to get the color LCD version, be advised that model does indeed require the c wire. The one in the original post is monochromatic and it's simpler needs allows it to be operated without the c wire. If you wish to confirm, suggest calling the tech line. When I did, the wait time was almost non-existent, there was no labyrinth of menus to navigate, the technician was quite skilled, and their voice was easily understood. This was pre-pandemic but I hope that hasn't changed. The experience left me glad that I bought their product, which incidentally was not free at the time.
Since you were not on my phone call with technician, it's impossible for you to assume I misunderstood anything. Have you actually spoken to their technical support staff?
If you read my other post, you would see and read the documentation and the manufacturer link to it. Take the time to do so before making snarky comments. You should also reread your own quote and notice the operative word "backup". The batteries provide just the power to retain the settings.
Had you taken the time to read and understand the documentation, you'd understand that although you have a c wire and for some reason chose not wire the thermostat with it, you'd realize that your thermostat is being powered as I described and not by your batteries. If you don't believe that, remove them altogether and see that the device still operates consistent with what the manufacturer designed using the low voltage wiring.

And it really does depend on your state. Sadly, Kansas doesnt have a lot of energy savings programs as much as the surrounding states.
Edit: Yeah it looks like Missouri has $50 Nests and free ecobees right now.
From the Emerson website:
"Two AA batteries (included) provide backup power that can last for months. However, if you have a c-wire, it is recommended that you connect it."
If you don't install a C wire, the batteries run out quickly. Could anything be clearer?

If this is your case, here is what you need to know:
This Wifi thermostat will work with your furnace, but will need a separate 24 volt AC (not DC) power supply that is rated for 150-400mA (per emerson's website). Your old furnace does have a transformer in it capable of supplying 24VAC (via the RC/RH jumper), but it is likely that it is not large enough to supply the extra power required by the Wifi thermostat, at least not reliably and long term. Using the transformer already in an old oil heat only system could lead to the old transformer failing.
"Wall Wart" type transformers are available, but the wire from them is not rated for in-wall installation. It is fine to use these, but installed properly you will have the wiring on the outside of the wall and the wall wart plugged in to an outlet.
I did not want to trust in a cheap wall wart, so installed a separate hard wired 24VAC transformer inside the furnace and ran a second set of thermostat wires to carry the power to the thermostat. Side note: the transformer will read much higher than 24VAC on a meter that is not true RMS and will read a bit high on a true RMS meter because there is no load on it. This was my first time working with AC other than 110v.
Refer to Emerson's website for where to connect the 24VAC. (It also instructs you to cut the RC/RH jumper wire on the back of the thermostat, which feels rather permanent to me)
I've had the thermostat for a couple months and am very happy with it.
I always kept the house cool at night using an older schedule based thermostat. It worked, but sucked when I would wake up early and the house was cold. Now I can turn the heat up from my phone. Very happy that I went to the trouble of installing this.
EDIT: There is a $50 rebate available in Pennsylvania. If you purchase at Lowe's or Home Depot, the rebate is automatically deducted. I had Home Depot price match Amazon then apply the rebate so ended up paying $50 for it. The price on Amazon fluctuates, so it would be possible to do better if you waited for a price drop.
