Comments about Totaline Totaline P286-1500 Thermostat With Humdification/Dehumidification Control and Duel Fuel Switch:

This thermostat doesn't hold the temperature very well. The room always seemed to be too hot, or too cold. I replaced it with a Honeywell, and instantly everything was great.

Humdistat design issue
By jsbiggerVerified Purchaser from Twin Cities on 5/3/2008

Humdistat function

Comments about Totaline Totaline P286-1500 Thermostat With Humdification/Dehumidification Control and Duel Fuel Switch:

Humidistat is designed so that a call for humidity will turn on humdifier ever when furnace is not heating. You need to purchase a seperate A50 relay to solve this problem.

Humidistat display in 4 degree increments and attempts to calibrate create an error.

You need 7 wires to use humidistat and dehumdifier funtion with a variable speed fan.

Pro Thermostat customer service was excellent. I exchanged this unit for the Honeywell Vision Pro IAQ. Far superior unit..and only requires three wires from thermostat to communicating unit in furnace room. Forgo the Totaline wireless outdoor sensor feature and go with the Honeywell Visionpro IAQ.
