Is the thermostat user friendly or a pain to program and can multiple time/temp. programs be set for each day of the week?

The thermostat is easy to use and yes, you can set multiple temps and times for each day. The one gotcha is to be sure you set the dip switches on the back (there are 3) before placing it on the way. The rest is explained in the user instruction book that comes with it.

No. You can program it to automatically come on at a different specific time for each day of the week or at the same time for all 7 days of he week. Same for shut off time. It also has a "random" feature that will vary the on-off times +/- 0-15 minutes if it is programmed to turn on/off at the same time for all 7 days of the week.

Was for me! Take off wires one at a time and install each one as you go..easy as pie. Much better temp control with this digital thermostat. Worth it.

Yes, you simply set the program to turn on at 5pm and off at 11pm the same day. This program can be set up for each day or M-F and/or different on Sat and Sun. There is even a Tues-Sat day window that can be used. Multiple time periods are programmable.

You can program some of these heaters to run a certain amount of hours but to come on at a certain time, no. But click on this amazon product and you can program it. I have 3 of them and they work great. Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat - Programmable Household Thermostats - A.webarchive

You set the thermostat like any thermostat. If above X temp, turn on AC. If below, turn on heat, etc. The time programming function is to simply turn on that program (If X, then...) at such and such a time. So, if you're out of the house in the day and don't want to warm it, the bottom limit may be 60, but at 5:00, or whenever you set it for, it pumps it up to 72. Then at 10 PM (or whenever) it lets go and falls back to the default lower limit until, say, 6:30 AM the next day. Etc. Ditto with AC, but in reverse. You set the unit for Heat, AC or Both.

Yes, you program the thermostat with time / date and a daily schedule. Have not had a power outage (yet) to judge its accuracy after.

Yes, programming can be done in as small as 1 minute intervals. Each on/off is an event, and up to 8 events can be set per day.

Not sure I understand your question but you can set it to run for a one time 2 hour period or program for multiple times during a week.

I haven't tried to program for every other week since mine is for my home but I do not believe you can. When you program it you can pick days of the week and times and duration but that is for each week.

Best I can tell, $38 is the difference. I have the RTH5510b1000A and it is programed for four different times/setting daily, and works fine. I only have central heating , no AC, and no Zones, so mine is the simplest scenario for a thermostat.

Yes, it can be manually adjusted, however it is NOT a set back thermostat where you can program different temps for different times of day.

Yes, it's very easy. It's digital so you see the exact setting you want, 70, 71, 72. What you set it for at temp and time is what it stays unless you change it. If you don't want to use the timer you don't have to. You can have it ON all of the time at the temp you set.

Of course. You can program each single day of the week differently if you want.

Yes, this should work just fine. Pricier model are just prettier and have more sophisticated programming and/or connecting to your smart phone abilities. As far as programming goes, this one is NOT a 1-week thermostat. You can only create one daily program. You set 4 points in a 24 hours span (i.e. 1-day) and then this program is repeated day after day. If you don't need programming, there is a cheaper version where you just set the temperature. Or there are pricier ones where you can create separate programs for work days and weekends ( 5/2 programming ) or 7 distinct programs for each day of the week (7-day thermostat).

I haven't had that problem. My thermostat follows the schedule I've programed. There may be a problem with your unit.

I don't think this controller is that "intelligent". You can set a temperature and a humidity and it switches "on/off" to a plug that you plug your heater and mister into, based off the response it gets from the sensor you hang into your habitat. I didn't see anywhere in the programming for a timer.....but think you could get there by adding a plug in timer that will only run the controller at the time window you select. For that, the timer would plug into the outlet first, then this controller into it, then the heater and mister into the controller.
