Default Honeywell MagicStat thermostat - questions about jumper settings on the back

Ok enough of this crap apparently your cheepy Tst is much more sensitive


That's what I thought at first so I wedged some plumber's putty in the
corner where the thermistor is located (it sits epoxied into a small recess
in the bottom left corner of the plastic housing) to add thermal mass, this
showed no change. Besides have you seen how fast a meat thermometer reacts
to temp changes? In air it only takes a few seconds per degree for a small
change, in meat they don't call them "instant read" for nothing.

Than the others, to make it more stable you can cover Tst with something


I thought about also putting a clear storage bowl or one of those
anti-tamper plastic boxes over it.

To see how much of effect will have, or/and if you have forced air heating

Make sure that your duct discharge is not blowing on to Tst.


Nope, the supplies are on the other side of the room.
