Bryant Evolution Thermostat choice

9 years ago

Hi. With a new system being installed I need to choose a thermostat to control our Bryant 987M furnace and 180B AC plus a humidifier yet to be determined.

I currently have a Nest and love the ability to control via my Andriod phone and computer. The contractor currently has us slated for the Evolution control SYSTXBBUID01 but I see there is another higher tier one called a connex SYSTXBBECW01. Anyone have any insight on upgrading? It looks like remote access is an "optional" which is really the only option that looks like I'd use. But I have no experience with either.

Thanks for any input

You want the latest Evolution controller with that furnace, two versions, one with, one without WiFi.

So get the touch screen Connex w/ wifi control, I'm assuming that is the newest.

I forgot to mention that I will have a two system so 2x 987M
and two A/C units one system for each floor. Do I need 2 of the high end Connex WiFi controllers or is there a way for one WiFi Connex and a sub controller for the other system?
