I bought a new thermostat for my furnace. Apparently they're either make
crap or want me to think I'm warmer than I am. It shows my room at 80
degrees where I like it but the other thermostat beside it registers 75
degrees and the alcohol thermostat across the room registers 75 degrees.
I guess they want to fool the public into saving energy.

Has it settled down from when you installed it? It can still be reading
body heat if you were handling it. Honeywell makes some of the best on the
market. Anything can be defective though.

Its got a calibration mode, no its not crap. Nothing like that is ever
100% on when you get it. Did you know a good Humidistat is supposed to
be calibrated every 6-12 months.

You can change that. It's all in the installation manual. Is it a
vision pro?

Hmmm,
Another case of RTFM?

Listen to all these know-it-alls. It's a RTH111 'NON_PROGRAMMABLE'
thermostat. Says that right on the fracking manual.

So does non programmable mean non calibratable?

Nope. If you read another branch of this thread, he finally reveals
it's a "non-programmable" thermostat.

I guess you were supposed to read his mind, cuz he's all ****ed off at
everyone that tried to offer help.

He should have said non-programmable in the OP!!!!

Evidently, no calibration instruction either.

What does that have to do with the temperature indicator?

Since you didn't pose a question, I guess you're just venting. But the
only people that like their houses at 80 degrees are 80 yr. old women.
Why are you on a.h.r., grandma?

So, sounds like it's defective and you need to send it back. It
happens occasionally. I've had 2 Honeywell VisionPros and they've
been excellent. You can pick them up on Ebay at reasonable prices
and they are 5X better than the typical programmable. Features like
vacation hold, where you can tell it to hold the current temp until
1,,2,3, 30 days from today and then resume the program at the time of
your choice on that day. And adpative recovery, where you set it to
return to normal temp for setback at 7AM and it figures out how much
earlier to fire the
system up.
