Comments about Venstar Wireless Residential Thermostat Combo - T1100RF / REC:
Here's the good: Installs easily, worked right from the start. Does exactly what it promises. Being able to set the temperature in any room by moving the thermostat is very nice. I placed the receiver next to the furnace, so it's out of sight, and had no problems with the wireless despite the receiver sitting next to some metal ductwork. As a basic thermostat, it is very easy to use - up and down buttons, button to turn on the fan, and a button to switch modes. It also has some more powerful features like being able to run the fan only for a timed amount every hour.
Here's the not so good: Advanced features are accessed by pushing and holding various buttons. You'll pretty much have to dig out the manual every time you want to change something other than the current mode and temperature (on the other hand, this can keep others from messing with the unit). Also, the LCD backlight still blinks occasionally if it is set to always on, which I find distracting if it's in my field of view.

Comments about Venstar Wireless Residential Thermostat Combo - T1100RF / REC:
Use this to control my upstairs furnace, which is rarely used. Previous non-wireless thermostat controlled temperature in the hallway and heated rooms poorly. Now the rooms can be controlled to the precise temperature desired.
The instructions did not include a wiring diagram for 3-wires, but a quick email to product support got a response by the following day and I was set. 4 wires are actually required, I found the common wire in the wall.
The price is high, but it is fully 7-day programmable and works great, worth it to save on heating costs and achieve the comfort level we wanted.

Comments about Venstar Wireless Residential Thermostat Combo - T1100RF / REC:
Product used in bedroom where thermostat is in hallway outside of bedroom. Easy to program, wireless works well. The only real silent thermostat I have found with no sounds when cycling. Tempurature appears to be off by 2 degrees but there is an ability to calibrate. Does not have a "HOLD" or "VACATION" setting. Great product and controls tempurature very well where thermostat/sending device is located.

Comments about Venstar Wireless Residential Thermostat Combo - T1100RF / REC:
Worked immediately. Once you get past the setup everything works flawlessly. A few more buttons would have made the unit a lot easier to program.
I had a problem with the location of my existing thermostat. It was in a hallway on the other side of the house from our bedroom. Rewireing in our home to move the old thermostat would require a lot of time in the attic. In the middle of the Texas summer, that's not a pleasant option. With this unit, I merely had to remove the old thermostat and replace it with the recieving unit. Then I was able to put the new thermostat in my bedroom. Instead of 10 degree fluctuations the temperature is stable within 1 degree.

Comments about Venstar Wireless Residential Thermostat Combo - T1100RF / REC:
This combo resolved a problem we faced after renovations and having two A/C zones. It probably saved us hundreds of dollars in having to relocate the existing thermostat, and has worked great. The only problem I've had is the daily programming could be a bit simpler.
