[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1016442, member: 52972"] I will second Eddies two cents. Years ago I replaced a new Honeywell thermostat with a fancy programmable Hunter unit shortly after I had my whole heating cooling system replaced with a new energy efficient heat-pump. What a waste of money. I was having a lot of problems with my new heat-pump when it turned out to be the Hunter thermostat. It said it was designed for heat pumps, but it really wasn't. When my HVAC guys came back to check out what was wrong, they saw the Hunter thermostat and said that was my problem. It was not compatible with my heat-pump because it did not have a connection for another wire. They re-installed the original Honeywell thermostat that came with my new HVAC system and it worked perfectly. My new home has a heat-pump along with a fancy Honeywell thermostat that has 4-6 schedules and separate weekday and weekend schedules along with different schedules for cooling and heating seasons. When I was working and gone all day I used about 4 schedules. Now that I am retired, I only use 2 schedules for the heating season. to turn the heat down to about 65 at 10:00pm night and start to warm up about 5:00am so it's comfortable when I get up in the morning. I see no reason or situation where I would need to control my thermostat over the Internet or by Cellphone? I learned my lesson and now I will always go with a Honeywell. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
