ILoveC4 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 After seeing that AMX stat in the other thread, even if they do work well, flash factor is very low. Very un-C4 if you ask me. Not that C4 is flashy but at least give the damn thing a well-lit screen.That is exactly why that is one component I left out. That, and I heard they don't work very well.

jberger Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I put 2 in my house last night and while I'd like a better looking setup, they seem to work as well as the $100+ honeywell's they are replacing. The backlit screen is easy to ready and they installed without a hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 ^Easy when the light is on... That type of screen looks so '90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefred Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 That is exactly why that is one component I left out. That, and I heard they don't work very well.I'm starting to think they are a bit off on temperature. One of mine is off by what looks to be 3 or 4 degrees. Is there a calibration adjustment for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henniae Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Is there a calibration adjustment for these?Yes, there is calibration. I am not sure if Composer HE can adjust the calibration, you might need to contact your dealer to have it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jberger Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 They do need to be calibrated, both of mine came out of the box 4 degrees off. Very easy to adjust in Composer Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottedge Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It sounds like you are indeed using powerstealing and not a dedicated common wire. Powerstealing can cause some erratic behavior on certian HVAC units. Here's a link to some information that I came across in a search of these forums.http://www.jesh.com/powersteal.pdfYou many want to see if it is possible to get a dedicateed common to power your thermostat and see if that fixes the issues you're having.does anyone have this PDF? I can't download it from the link. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilsara Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I love the thermostats. I've had the version one thermostat now in 3 apartments. The first two it worked flawlessly, just a few calibrations and it was good. Now into my thrid apartment, I had to disable the power stealing and run a common wire. I love the fact that I dont have to adjust my thermostat at all, its got a mind of its own, so to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
