Most smart thermostats are designed for the Northeast. In Florida, dehumidification is half the job — and only a few thermostats handle it correctly.
The ranking (for Florida)
- 01Ecobee Premium — true dehumidify mode, overcools to hit RH target
- 02Honeywell T10 Pro — best for variable-speed systems, real humidity setpoint
- 03Nest 4th Gen — pretty, but humidity control is weak
- 04Sensi Touch — budget pick, basic dehum
Frequently asked
Quick answers, straight up.
Will any smart thermostat work with my heat pump?
+
No — heat pumps need a thermostat with O/B reversing valve control. Most modern ones do, but check before you buy.
