Whenever the power resumes after an outage (e.g. thunder storm), the thermostat requires the "filter media", "humidifier", and other settings to be confirmed before the heat resumes.
Thus, if the house is unattended in the winter, the heat never comes back on after a power glitch because the thermostat just sits there waiting for someone to answer some questions. The risk is that the pipes will freeze.
Is this normal for that type of system?
Thanks, AABob
When the power resumes after a power failure, the thermostat requires someone to manually configure the media type, humidifier, and UV lamp settings. Otherwise, it just sits there and the heat/ac never comes back on.
My pipes almost froze last winter when the house was unattended because of this.
Is this normal? if not, is the thermostat faulty or do you think it's not wired correctly?
Thanks, AABob

the new thermostats has something it is call firmware where they store your settings and regardless of power failure your settings stays on, so my assumptions are that your t-stat is defective, go ahead and replace it with a new one and you will see the diference. Bye Cesar

STFU, you're clueless.
Hi, There is no firmware in the 'stat. Maybe NVRAM for storing entered program. I don't think you know what firmware is

No wonder the Vikings were always in such a bad mood.
