Thanks for all the responses. I will watch it for a couple more days and see
if it becomes more to the way I want it to run, else I will set it so it is
not being intuitive.

The system works good and am happy with it, However, when the times
are set for return and wake, The furnace comes on at least 1 1/4 hours
before the time set. So it ends up the house is heated way longer than
wanted. Is this normal or do I possibly have a thermostat that is
defective or needs some adjustment? System replaced a gas pack
installed in '89 and also had a programmable thermostat with it. It
work without any problems and usually fired up the furnace very close
to the time set. Thanks for any information in advance.

Give it a few days to get to know your home. It is designed to figure
out how long it takes you home to warm up. It then will start warming it
up sooner on a cold night and later on a less cold night. With it turned
off, you would need to set the higher temperature to come on some unknown
time before you wanted it that warm.

I have it and I do like it.

BTW be sure the thermostat has the correct time set. :-)
