Does this device maintain the correct time even after the power has been out for 30 minutes before being restored?

Brian, I've had my unit un plugged for 5 days (unplugged it for Christmas) and, when I checked it today, it still was showing the correct day and time.

You're having to reset the time because you are unplugging it from the constant power supply. It has no internal battery system, so if you want to keep the correct time you will have to keep the unit plugged into a constant power outlet.

it takes the time from the network but I have not had an extended power outage only short less than 30min but it kept the time due to the network

I don't use mine anymore because it constantly trips the dedicated breaker. However, I just plugged it in (as it sits in the corner) and you press clock which defaults to 24 hour, press clock again and it will be in the 12 hour mode. From there, enter the current time and you should be good to go. Regards

We need to, about 25% of the time, when power is disrupted. Most of the time, it resets without any troubles.

For prolonged power outages, it's possible that it would lose its settings. However, for brief power failure... it comes right back online when power is restored. Also, it DOES have a programable choice to set a Daylight Savings time option. It's a good thermostat... I'm happy that it was this that failed, and NOT a break in the heating elements under the tile!

Hi, Miachael,I have had the power go out before and did not have to change the time or date; the only time that I have changed it is for Daylight Savings.

i haven't had a power outage yet, however after programming and setting the clock, everything is retained despite unplugging the unit

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

Yes, it will remember the last setting used, even if you do not save it. When you turn the unit back on it will be at the last setting used.

The time on mine always resets after I turn it off and back on. However, it always sets to the correct date, and exactly one hour behind the correct time regardless of what I've set it to. It's almost as if it has a way to automatically set the time, but has the wrong time zone or daylight saving time set. I thought it might be getting the info from the GPS; but I recently traveled to a different time zone, and it reset the time to two hours behind. In other words, it didn't know that I traveled to a different time zone.

It is unaffected. It syncs back up within about a minute of the power coming back.

Never used the timer feature. If you lose power won't come on when power is restored.

Yes. When you set the timer switch duration, it will reset every time the power to the switch turns off, in anticipation of the next "on" cycle.

The unit has retained its settings for me when power is removed. I don't know what the official manufacturer statement would be.

Yes! Set it for 1 min. When it goes off, it automatically resets back to 1 min.

Location is saved, but you will have to enter date and time each time you turn on the power. Not a big deal only takes a few seconds to enter.
