I’ve been using the AS824 thermostat with my heat pump system since 2021, and it’s been a rock-solid upgrade from the old non-programmable “dumb” thermostat it replaced. That old unit was quick to trigger auxiliary heat anytime the temperature dropped, which led to unnecessary energy use and higher bills. The AS824 handles staging much more intelligently, keeping the system efficient even in colder weather. The app isn’t flashy—and that’s a plus. It’s clean, functional, and does exactly what it’s supposed to without bloated features or gimmicks. I’ve never had an update cause issues or disrupt performance, which is more than I can say for some other “smart” thermostats out there. One of my favorite features is the ability to use a remote sensor. My thermostat is located in a hallway with no vents, so it never gave an accurate read on the rooms I actually live in. With the remote sensor, I can prioritize the temperature in my bedroom—where I actually want comfort—and keep it steady throughout the night. It’s also worth noting that the AS824 was made by the same manufacturer as my HVAC system, so I know it’s built to integrate seamlessly. Since the upgrade, I’ve saved a noticeable amount on energy costs. No complaints here—just solid, efficient performance.
