ELECTECK 5-1-1 Day Programmable Digital Thermostat for Home, up to 1 Heat/1 Cool with Large LCD Display, Compatible with Single Stage Electrical and Gas System, White

Super easy 10 minute install... I could not ask for anything more tbh.

I purchased two of these ELECTECK 5-1-1 Day Programmable Digital Thermostats for my home and another one for my relatives home. I am only using it to run the gas heating furnace.I use a two wire connection which is using the batteries (2 AAA) to trigger the relay and switch the furnace on/off.I do like the large numbers and the blue backlight that comes on when adjusting the thermostat with the buttons. It is very easy to read and good for my older eyes.The programming is pretty easy to figure out, the instructions are good explaining the operation of the buttons.Just an FYI these thermostats replaced the top of the line Nest thermostats which I have had for almost 3 years. The Nests have a mind of there own as far as heating goes. I was absolutely disgusted with the operation of the WiFi learning thermostats. In the 3 years I had them, I saved zero on heating charges. The scheduled temperature was always being overridden by a few degrees because of the learning function which you can never really turn off permanently. The temperature would be set up to maintain 68 degrees but the temperature inside would get to 66.5 degrees before it would turn on my furnace. These ELECTECK 5-1-1 Day Programmable Digital Thermostats are a major upgrade in my honest opinion.Nest, never again!

This was quite reasonably priced, had an instruction manual that seemed to accomodate almost any system configuration one might find, and had a set of labels included so as to be able to map and follow the wires. I had bought this for the simplest of systems, a ceiling mounted propane heater, so installation was straight forward. The programming was simplicity. So why did I remove one star?One feature that would have been easy to include in the firmware would have been an automatic reset to the program temp settings after either a prescribed time period, or at the next wake-leave-return-sleep event. As it is, if one manually overrides the temperature command, that override stays in place until one manually removes it. At least, that's the best I can get out of it. With the heater in my shop, it means if I forget to reset it when I leave, it wastes heat.

seems like a good thermostat, simple to program. I followed a youtube video. Batteries not included AAA.

No light unless you press a button....NO BIG DEAL BREAKER.....

do exactly what is it done for. no problem to install and works as soon I connected it

Been working for a few years, now. I like how you don't have to hold down the button for a few seconds to change the temperature.

Thermostat was easy to set up and program, worked great for three months, then came down to a room that was 85 degrees when set for 64. Oil is expensive enough without burning it all night! Kudos to Amazon for allowing a return past the timeframe, planned on getting a new one, but think I'll pass and try another brand...
