Honeywell TH6110D1021 FocusPro Programmable Digital Thermostat Review

Honeywell TH6110D1021 FocusPro Programmable Digital Thermostat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This model has a number of good features for the price, including the ability to optionally get its power externally (and use the battery only for back-up), the backlit display, easy battery replacement, and the so-called "adaptive intelligent recovery", which means that the thermostat learns how long it takes to raise the temperature by a certain amount, and will start the heater earlier than specified to ensure that the requested temperature is reached at the requested time (this feature may be turned off).The manuals are good and installation is easy.

This thermostat's main flaw, which is common to many thermostats, is that it clicks whenever it turns heat (or cool) on or off.It is aesthetically pleasing, although I wish it were a bit thinner (it's slightly over 1.5" thick).Be aware that although the thermostat is truly 5-1-1 (weekday, Sat, Sun programs), it comes from the factory in 5-2 mode (weekday and week-end programs), which is what most people will want anyhow.The installation manual explains how to change between 5-2 and 5-1-1.

The manual was very thorough, and the setup was a breeze.It has a ton of advertised features, I found the following VERY useful:

1.The battery replacement cover is on the front (you do not have to take out the whole unit or take screw out to replace batteries

2.The 1 touch backlight is very convenient to look things up at night

3.The ability to program the device off the wall while sitting down comfortably with the manual and pieces of paper is convenient

4.The one touch feature to tell the device that you home for the day wthout other intervention is convenient.

other than that, what can I say?it works!

Hunter 42999B Just Right Digital Thermostat Review

Winter weather has finally hit mid-state Illinois!I have been prepared and had the furnace all ready to go.My family returned home on Thanksgiving to a cold house.My old mechanical round style thermostat had finally failed (it had been acting up in the recent days).

I was a little nervous having to select a new thermostat and even more nervous about installing it.I'm not a real hands-on person with regard to home repair.But we were in a real need for something.

I picked this unit up very late on Thanksgiving night and proceeded to take it home (don't forget the 2 AA batteries).This unit was replacing an old round mechanical style thermostat in my home.The box says it would be a workable replacement solution and it was.

Installation was very simple (thank goodness I only have a 2-wire heating only system).I removed the old thermostat from the wall and removed the two wires (after powering off my system) from the old thermostat base.I followed the instructions that came with the Hunter unit (there are several easy to read wiring diagrams for the different heating/cooling systems) and attached the wires to the new base of the Hunter unit (after attaching it to the wall).The terminals are easy to read and hooking up the new one was snap.I attached the main unit to the wall base and installed the batteries.I followed the instructions to set the desired temperature and haven't had a need to touch it since.I had this unit fully installed in about 15 minutes (remember I'm slow since I'm new to this).Even for me this was easy to install properly.This unit will replace many thermostat styles and will control most heating/cooling systems (a full list is available on the package).Even better the factory default settings were the right ones to control my 2-wire gas hot water baseboard furnace.

The Hunter functions very well.Last night the outside temperatures dipped into the mid twenties while my family and I remained comfortable and warm inside.I have other thermometers (digital) in the house and the Hunter keeps the room temperature within 1 degree Fahrenheit from the set level regardless of how cold or windy it is outside.Something my old mechanical thermostat could never do.

The features of this unit are nice.The LCD screen is easy to read.The buttons are large and easy to use.The unit has a slim profile and looks nice on the wall (shouldn't be too noticeable in any room).The mode selection buttons and other controls are neatly hidden behind an easy to open swing out door on one side of the LCD display while the batteries are behind a similar door on the other side (no need to remove thermostat to replace batteries)!Operating instructions are neatly printed on the inside of the door housing the controls for easy access eliminating the need to search for the instruction manual later.I also appreciate the fact that the thermostat is electronically controlled and the unit doesn't have to be perfectly level to function correctly.This unit has functioned without problems and has been worry free for me and has kept my family warm and comfortable.

*** UPDATE 11-11-08 ***

We've recently moved to a new house and the Hunter served us well all year at the old place.It functions well and keeps the house comfortable.The batteries last a long, long time (a year plus).

I've just installed the identical thermostat in our new home to replace another round mechanical thermostat.This new home has a heat/cool forced air system where the old house was baseboard water heat.Again the thermostat installed very easily with the added wire diagrams.Installation is quite simple and the thermostat is easy to set up (just a matter of flipping a switch and adjusting the set point (one button).

I highly recommend this thermostat for an economical efficient means to ensure comfort for your home and family.The Hunter provided a noticeable energy savings on my old home, and I'm sure it will on this one too.Again, highly recommended!

Honeywell C7089U1006 Outdoor Temperature Sensor Review

The Honeywell C7089U1006 Outdoor Temperature Sensor was easy to hook up and install, but a little more $$ than I really should have paid,I put this in when I installed the new programmable thermostat.Now I have a reference to the outside temp at the thermostat.I don't know if they make a compatible cordless remote, which would be easier, but this one, so far seems accurate and operable.Plan on splicing the contact lines, however, as the leads are only 6 feet long

Remote Sensing Auto Saver Programmable Thermostat with Auto Changeover - Energy Star Review

I have no gripes about this at all. Installation was simple. It is a bit of a chore to program in all the different temps for different times of day, but I have no other thermostat to compare this feature to. The only difficult part was making up my mind what I wanted those settings to be.

What is brilliant is that at night I can close my bedroom door with the remote sensor inside and control the house temp based on that one room. With the door shut, it heats/cools a lot faster than the living room does (where the main unit is located).

I've been looking for a product like this for a year or two and finally happened upon this at one of those buy in bulk stores for just $50.
