The Alarm.com Smart Touchscreen Thermostat offers a sleek, color touchscreen display for a simple experience that delivers the next level of comfort and control. With mechanical wire detection, an easy setup wizard, and local configuration, the Alarm.com Smart Touchscreen Thermostat makes installation a breeze. The Smart Thermostat HD can also monitor the health of the heating and cooling system, deliver monthly performance reports, and even alert you to potential HVAC issues right on its display.
It does require a C wire or a
24VAC Transformer though and does not use batteries. Another option is to add the
power plate which will allow you to power the thermostat with only two wires while connecting the main back plate near your HVAC equipment and wiring.
It is the first and only
Z-wave Plus thermostat that is touchscreen and black though there is a more basic
Alarm.com smart thermostat available also for the more price-conscious budgets.
