Is it possible to set the thermostat by a day of the week and time? Does the heater have to be powered on to "kick in" at a designated time?

There are no timer or programmable options. Thermostat is only active while unit is on. When is turned off, and back on, it does not resume thermostat operation. It defaults to high with no thermostat.

It is not clear what "Vacation use" is.It has setting only for one week:Monday-Sunday. Then it repeats itself. No specific time of the month or year. So, before going to be out of town, set it for saving energy (lower in winter, higher in summer).If you mean "can we control the thermostat remotely via Internet?", the answer is no.

You can actually program it to do either one. There's a setting in the back. I found this out by accident when I was wondering why the heat kept starting a few minutes early!

No. You can program it to automatically come on at a different specific time for each day of the week or at the same time for all 7 days of he week. Same for shut off time. It also has a "random" feature that will vary the on-off times +/- 0-15 minutes if it is programmed to turn on/off at the same time for all 7 days of the week.

Sure, it has a thermostat to adjust temp. Or turn it completely off, I usually just run mine on the weekends in my man cave.

I haven't programmed the unit. I just set the switch to either heat or cool, then the temp. I want maintained.

Yes, you simply set the program to turn on at 5pm and off at 11pm the same day. This program can be set up for each day or M-F and/or different on Sat and Sun. There is even a Tues-Sat day window that can be used. Multiple time periods are programmable.

The programs are not fully different. You cannot set different times for each period for cooling and heating programs. E.g. with my old thermostat I could set Heating period start times at 6am, 12 pm, 4 pm and 10 pm, but for Cooling period at 7am, 11 am, 5 pm and 7pm. This is important for me since electricity rates are different for time of day where I live, but natural gas rates are the same, to in winter I do not care about time of day so much.With this thermostat, I will have to change times (e.g. reprogram the thermostat) twice a year. With old thermostat, I did not have to do this.

The thermostat does not have any built in programming to set up. You will have to use your Z-wave home automation hub to set up a 7 day program. Depending on the Z-wave home automation hub you are using, this might require custom programming, or finding someone else that had created a custom program specific to your hub brand.

Automatically, the on/off switch and thermostat are old school, non electronic. I have the heater on a timer switch.

Yes, the thermostat can be set to maintain a desired temperature all the time. It will automatically adjust the power setting necessary to keep the room at the specific temperature set on the thermostat. I keep my workshop at 60 degrees all the time and I do not use the timer at all.

I am looking for a heater with a timer and found this one on Amazon that has an "on" timer where you can set the time of day. Haven't purchased it so can't comment on how it works. Holmes Digital Bathroom Heater Fan with Pre-Heat Timer and Max Heat Output, HFH436WGL-UM

You cannot have the on/off button pushed for you. But in programming this thermostat, you set a particular temperature for the AC/H system to maintain from 9pm until 5am then a different temperature to maintain from 9am to 5pm. For example, in the summer, I could choose to have the AC maintain 78 degrees F from 9am til 5pm then something like 85 degrees F from 9pm to 5am. You are still able to decide what temp you want for the 5am-9am and 5pm-9pm parts of the day.

This heater does not have that functionality. Instead you could buy a separate timer which costs just about $10.00 and set whatever time you need. Hope this helps.

Yes. Just set to the desired temperature and power mode (Low, Med, High). It will automatically adjust the power to maintain that temperature. I just leave my unit on continuously. I Occasionally adjust the temperature and mode if the weather will be changing drastically. No need to use the timer.

Yes, you can turn the unit on and set the temperature to the desired setting and maintain that setting as long as the unit has power.

Yes I able to set the timer to go on at 7PM and turn off at 11PM for 7 days a week without much difficulty. Did have to follow the direction and do it several times but is working well. I like it!!!!!
