There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
That said I did need to ask for help with installation. I found the manual to be cumbersome and only confuse me more. I followed YouTube videos and took pictures of the wiring before detaching my old units. This was not helpful however because things seem to have gotten more complicated over the years. The labels for the wires are convenient but I did not know which labels went with my 2 wires. Their simple placement under 2 screws was now replaced by feeding the wires into the housing blindly, tightening the screws and hoping it was in there correctly. The wires fed through a completely different place on this unit than my previous from the wall which took some finagling and a few extra holes in the wall for the wires and screws for the housing. When all was said and done they are installed and work beautifully.
I personally found it easier to play with the system than to read the manual. The copy feature was great for adding the same programming to additional days without manually inputting them.
I recommend getting familiar with the "hold" feature. On occasion we come or go "off schedule" and can quickly adjust up or down a few degrees and hold it until the next preset arrives. Very handy.
Overall, well worth the money. The units are subtle and attractive and most importantly functional. The electric bill is already coming down along with those New England temperatures.
It would be nice if the programming had a 7 day setting for folks who don't need separate programs for weekday/weekend. I discovered the "copy" function about 4 days into programming the settings, and this made it much easier to set up for my elderly in-laws. One annoyance I did find while programming it was the setting function times out pretty quickly while you are setting temps and times, so if you have to pause and think about what you are setting, it times out and drops you out of the function within 3-5 seconds - way too fast. I feared I had to start over for that day I was programming, but I found it would save whatever settings you had gotten through before dropping you out. Give the user 10 seconds before it drops out of the feature and I'd be much happier.
I also saw some folks complaining about hearing a 'click' when the unit comes on. You can hear it, but it's a muted click, and some folks might find that useful to know when the heat/AC is coming on.
I see folks complaining about temperature 'swing' in their reviews of this unit, and another reviewer posted this very helpful info about accessing the advanced settings menu to address it (haven't tried it yet myself), so I'll copy his directions here in my review, too, as I believe this info is very important for folks who might experience this swing issue in use:
"To access the advanced menu:
1. Slide the MODE switch to OFF.
2. Press RUN to wake up the thermostat and activate the back light.
3. Hold the RESET button. (This button is on the back of the thermostat where you installed the batteries.)
4. Press the SET button while holding the RESET button. (Do this fast! If you hold RESET for more than 5 seconds, it resets the entire thermometer to out-of-the box default values. If it does not work on the first try, release both buttons and try again.)
5. Release both buttons in less than 5 seconds.
You should now see screen that displays "offset" in the upper right corner. Press SET to cycle through the advanced settings.
OFFSET
I found it helpful to increase the temperature offset by a couple of degrees. My thermostat is in the hallway where there are no heater vents. By the time the hallway reaches my desired temperature, the temperatures in the rooms with the vents are typically 2-3 degrees higher than the hallway temperature.
EARLY START
I left this off, but you can turn it on to have the heat start before the programmed time. I just programmed the start time to begin 15 minutes before I get home.
SYSTEM TYPE
Set to "F" for furnace, "HP" if you have a heat pump.
MINIMUM CYCLE PERIOD
According to the user manual: "Changing the minimum cycle period to six minutes or greater enables smart logic." Apparently the thermostat has some ability to learn the best cycle times for your system. They give a table in the manual for common cycle periods. I set mine to 12 minutes for a 1-stage furnace with an electric fan."
Brands at all. Don’t need the other multi-programmable ones that
don’t last. Can be used manually and simple straightforward functions.
Top reviews from other countries
Overall I am happy with the purchase, although I wish the clock would appear larger when the unit is not in use, id rather see the time than the temp from across the room.
1. I received the unit about 36 hours after ordering it.
2. It only took about 30 minutes to read the instructions for programming and installation and actually have it up and operating.
3. The display is great - large, easily visible from a distance, and very clear.
4. To program the unit, just remove the face (the programmable unit) from the back secured to the wall (the portion that is wired) and sit comfortably to actually do the programming. Since I have a broadly varying schedule, each day has a different program. Easy to program and very quick.
This is a great product.
