User questions & answers

Question: does white rogers thermostat use any batteries
Answer: This is not a set back thermostat. The programing is for set up and limits of peramiters used in opperation
Question: can it be used at 120V? thank you
Answer: You can set it to “slow” which limits it but does not prevent it from coming on all together. The only way I can think of locking out w2 with this thermostat would be to leave that wire disconnected.
Question: I need a 6 wire thermostat. Is this? It's for my mother. She gets confused with the preprogrammed, digital ones. Can you help me
Answer: No, the Honeywell Home CT50K Non-Programmable Manual Thermostat only works with Single-Stage Heating and Cooling systems.

User questions & answers

Question: Does this offer a "swing" setting that will undershoot or overshoot the set temp
Answer: C wire not required, but your thermostat will be running off batteries
Question: is the back light on all the time
Answer: Yes, it will be manual until you enable and set up the Z wave on the thermostat.
Question: does it need to be reprogrammed when the batteries are replaced
Answer: If connected to zwave controller you can progam your heat to come on at any temp you select and program it to go off when it reaches your set point. I use this capability when basement drops to 35 degrees then heats to 40 and stops. Keeps pipes from freezing when house is not in use. You can trigger off a remote temp sensor also. Check thermostat temp range spec, not heating spec.
Question: Is the font really large? i can't read below "10 pt"; prgramming is impossible on current model
Answer: Did you leave it time to stabilize? Mine seems to be fairly accurate compared to a reference thermometer.
