I put the old thermostat back on, and it's working fine--the house is cozy.
Still no heat pump, but the propane seems to be doing it's thing now. Don't
get it--the night/day temps are the same. Something's just not right with
the programmable thermostat. I have a service tech coming out (again) on
Wednesday, and I'll pick his brain. Thanks for all your input--it's been an
education!

The asterisks indicate which wires I've connected. Also, the RC and

A second post has:

but nothing is connected there.

W2/Aux is where you'd connect the 2nd stage heat (if you had a wire for
it).

I'll just see how fast I can get service in here to explain exactly
what we have, what to expect, and confirm the programmable is set up
correctly.

It sounds like you are set up OK and that the outdoor thermostat is
determining whether the HP or propane funance is used when the thermostat
calls for heat. How is the system working today?
