I am having problems with my thermostat. I programmed it correctly, but it didn't come on until later in the afternoon. I checked the time and that is all correct, also, is there somewhere I can program it to turn off at a certain time?

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

As others have said, make sure that you've set your programs to heat/cool in a way that fits your schedule. Also make sure that you've set the system to the appropriate setting. For example in the summer I set mine to "cool." In the fall/spring when I don't use the heating and cooling, I set it to "off" and then in the winter I switch it to "heat." These are the only things that I could think of that might be causing trouble.

Well when I go into scheduling - In the Fan section you have a choice of Auto or Program...so I would have to say yes. I personally leave my on "ON" at all times so that must have been programmed in by my AC man when he installed in over 5 years ago. I love it - wake up exactly at the temp you want...come home from work same deal...everything to your advantage. I do, periodically, change times etc when leaving for vacation - it is simple...i just have never messed with the fan because I want it On all the time.. Hope this helps!

Don't know exactly what you mean. If you mean can you lock the thermostat from users, no. If you mean can you you change temp outside of program, yes you can. The program resumes at the next scheduled program time.

What I have found is if you turn the thermostat all the way up it acts as a constant on. Hope this helps

Yes, you set the temperature level you want and the length of time you want it to run and it shuts off when the time is up. To change the time or temperature after you start it just click it off and you can reset either or both time and temperature. We own three different sizes and use them all. Best we have ever found.

hmm not really a question but here we go if you place the unit in the outdoors protected from weather it will turn on around the temp it says and shut off at the warmer temp if u use a timer in there it would be pointless being it would only work when it was cold or it might not get power when it needs to turn on good luck

Sorry, I am still trying to find out if you can program different temp setting for different times. No one seems to be able to answer the question.

Hi. We have gone through two of these in a short time. The thermostat malfunctions rendering them useless. Seller does not credit when you return it. We found another brand that is betterhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Q8HDKO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Buy the recommended thermostat. It will automatically turn on and off as needed. If you don't then yes it will run whenever light is present. It will run when it's partly cloudy. You can also wire in a thermostat and set the temperature for what you want. I didn't and mine works great. Highly recommend it. I think the thermostat is 12 bucks. Buy it I did and don't regret it. Have a great day.

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

it might be the optimal start issue. The times you program are the times it should reach the temperature programmed so it may start up at 5am so that at 7am it has reached 70. It "learns" by adjusting each day unit the optimal start time is reached.

It only comes on when you touch a control button and then goes off a few seconds later. By the way, I love this thermostat.

I ordered this because they say here it does not auto off but when it came it says it does in 2 hours and I tried it and it does turn off in 2 hours. What is up? I am going to try disabling it.

Seth ,I have had this a number of years now.. I recall that you can program a couple seperate on off times but you can't zone those times . I believe you will need two seperate units or a second timer of some sort that would switch the zones . You will have to research that concept.

I have SmartThings and unfortunately this thermostat does NOT have 7 day programming - the description is NOT accurate on Amazon. Considering sending it back after 12 hours of use - argh!

I think we have the light grey one so I can't answer that question. When the power goes out there are batteries that allow the thermostat to continue to work. However, your furnace/AC will not be working. When the power comes back on the thermostat will re-establish contact with your WiFi and everything will be fine. If you go to the Total Comfort website you can set up an email message to be sent you if the thermostat looses contact with the WiFi. That is almost always because of a power failure. I love that feature as we live in Alaska and spend several months outside of Alaska at a second home in the winter. So I know when the power goes off and it notifies me when the thermostat re-establishes contact with the WiFi when the power comes back on. So if there is a lengthy delay I can call and have someone go and check our home out. Hope this helps.
