Does it work with in-floor radiant heat? Does it send you an alert when power goes out? Does it send an email/text if a certain temp. is exceeded?

It should work with radiant heat, but I don't think it will email or text you when there is a problem.

To monitor moisture? I am not fimiliar with a "well house". I have it on the floor in the pantry where my hot water heater is. I hope I never find out how well it works since that would mean a major leak. It does seem to monitor the surrounding temp and allow me to view it remotely.......

It will work at any temp, but, since it is a heat pump, it transfers enough heat to keep a moderately large room warm, unless you are cold blooded then you will need to add another source: electric base board.. It gets down to below zero here and I have mine in a 10 x 30 room that has a bath and it will maintain a 70 degree temp. Also, in the winter, the outside unit runs all the time to transfer heat, but the inside unit does not run all the time, only when the outside unit as accumulated heat in the system, so you will see a bump in your electric bill. As a summer air conditioner, you can't beat it. For a single room that has no ducted air handling system, this is still cheaper than adding a separate HVAC system. For more information on how heat pumps work, perform a search on the internet. Then you will understand why heat pumps have difficulty in real cold outside temps.

I used it for a floor vent and the air conditioner blew it right off. I didn't try it with the heat. They are not strong enough for what they are suppose to do.

This unit, like all infrared heaters, are only intended to be supplimental heat. That being said, i have been able to heat the whole 2nd floor of my cape. Its a large cape, so we're talking roughly 900sqft. Just make sure you consider where you run the unit in relation to the thermostat.

I haven't experienced any heat problems myself. I think it is a nice little unit.The Power button turns everything off at once. I really don't see any need for that feature. I guess it may be nice if you are getting a lot of power hits during a storm just to be safe. ??

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

The heating device makes no difference (as long as it does not draw too much power -- check specs); the only complication is the temperature sensor and how/where it is placed. The Honeywell unit does not come with a sensor and it will be tricky, but possible, to get the correct one from Amazon.com. I just used my old sensor, but had to experiment a bunch to find the needed series resistor to use with it to get it calibrated to the Honeywell unit for the small temperature range we cared about. I had installed the old sensor in a tube under the floor just under the tile and floor mats -- I had easy access from the basement ;-) The heating device makes no difference (as long as it does not draw too much power -- check specs); the only complication is the temperature sensor and how/where it is placed.

If you have an air vent close to the sensor, it will detect the change in temperature from the heater/AC airflow. One of my bathrooms has that issue. Try redirecting the airflow higher so it's not registered by the sensor.

For prolonged power outages, it's possible that it would lose its settings. However, for brief power failure... it comes right back online when power is restored. Also, it DOES have a programable choice to set a Daylight Savings time option. It's a good thermostat... I'm happy that it was this that failed, and NOT a break in the heating elements under the tile!

Yes, with some hesitation. I am in N. MI and I heat a room in an otherwise unheated building that is 12x24 with 10.5' ceilings. I only need to keep the room just above 65 to maintain the temperature of the equipment so it actually works quite well and we've already had nights down to 14 degrees this year. I assist the heater with a ceiling fan and the space is as well insulated as most homes but with a concrete floor. The thermostat feature is quite good at maintaining a consistent temperature. If you live in a place that is colder it might not work as well for you but if you're south then it should work well enough but might struggle to keep it at 75 or be on all the time as this size space really does require more BTUs. Download the manual, there is a chart in it to help you figure out your space to know how many BTUs you really need.

No. It will monitor the overall temperature of the house and call if it is below. In the case where the levels have no access to the level with the unit, it might make sense to have 2. I have three levels and my unit is on the first floor. A basement and bedrooms are easily monitored.

No it will not call to inform you the power is restored or the temperature is back to normal. The monitor has to be manually reset after it sends an alert. The called person can acknowledge the alert, but the monitor will send a new alert one hour later. You can avoid the hourly alert by using the "disable" procedure but then having someone visit the location to correct the problem and reset the monitor. Hope this helps

does not compute...my alarm worked only upon sensing motion....it froze up when it got about 10 degrees here in Ohio...thawed it works again...it is a summer appliance

Same here. Just got a very vague message that if I recently purchased this unit, I should have received an email with the new customer service contact information. I have not received any email. There was another thread on here that had a phone number, 610-385-8080, for a company called Heat For Less. I had to leave a message, however, so we'll see what comes of it.

Yes, you can set both low and high temperature alerts and it will email you and/or send push notices to your smart phone. I also have installed multiple X-10 wireless motion sensors in our homes and the will also email and send push notices when motion is detected. They only cost $29.00.

No it does not. It allows you to turn up and down the temp, and also set back to the current program temp. Pretty basic but workable.TBH, I listen for the click of the relay in the base unit to know when I've triggered heat...
