I purchased an Emerson ***** **** ********* four years ago. I noticed that it wouldn't always be connected to the internet... I would just reconnect it when I was around, yes it was inconvenient , but I didn't think much of it. We travel quite a bit thus the reason why I wanted to ensure our home had heat as we live in a colder climate and did not want my pipes to freeze. Michigan just had another ice storm once the power and internet was restored I wanted to check on my heat. No connection... all my other WiFi devices had reconnected except for this thermostat. Our home is a smart home so we talking many many wifi devices that are running and reconnect without issue, **** my refrigerator even connects to my WiFi. I called the ***** tech support (talked with ****) find out if there was an update or something on my end I could do to deal with this on going connection issue. The tech told me I had to reconnect it by manually reconnecting the WiFi connection. I told him that I was over 1200 miles away from the device and he told me that is the only was to reestablish the connection. I asked what is the purpose of having a connected WiFi thermostat then and he replied that is just how they work. Well, I several friends and family that also have WiFi thermostats and don't have these reoccurring issues. This Tech then on to tell me that my router is detecting my device as intruder and is probably blocking the reconnection. I have ******* and ALL other devices reconnect so I don't believe that it the problem.Business response

My complaint deals with a defective product that is 2 1/2 years old Sensi WiFi ***********************, made by Emerson Electric. Sensi Support Case ******** [ ref:_00DC016udq._5003b1fDRck:ref ]. This product carry's a 3 year warranty. My Sensi Emerson Thermostat went out (dead) 2 weeks ago on the 12th of May 2022.It was purchased through my ComEd Marketplace Team and sold by *************** Group on Dec. 16, 2020. This was an online purchase and installed by me as a DIY project. It worked without fail for 2 1/2 years. At that time I was asking for an RGA # and address to send the defective thermostat to be covered under the manufactures warranty.I have sent 9 emails to this company regarding this issue. In short they want me to troubleshoot their defective unit and will not replace it until I show them pictures of the voltages across certain wires. I realty don't think I should be required to do their work for them, 1) I'm not qualified and 2) I don't believe their warranty requires the customer to troubleshoot their ********************** for them. I had to replace their defective unit with a $20.00 thermostat made by Honeywell just to get the heat back on in my house. At this point I am so tired of this situation and will only accept a new unit to be sent to me and a call tag to have the defective unit returned at Emerson's expense.Business response
