Okay, I've got the 44133 which I think is just the newer model of the same thing.

No matter how many times I read the set up instructions and watch programming videos my thermostat gets things jacked up. It seems to flip the programming I input so that when it should read home it reads as away or has sleep at the wring times etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I got this one for $10 at Menards so I don't really want to buy another one. Will try 1 800. Thanks form a fellow Hoosier. Used to live in Anderson, now in Indianapolis.

Yep, there is usually a reason why thermostats are so cheap.... A quality thermostat is usually at least $50, IMO

Most thermostats that require batteries to operate are junk IMHO. A quality thermostat has the capability work without batteries, most do cost more than $50.

Homeowner just had a new system installed which included a new thermostat.
Contractor: Your new thermostat will require an annual battery replacement
Homeowner: Why? My old thermostat worked for years without batteries. Isn't there power at thermostat from the system?
Contractor: Yes, there is power running to the thermostat, but I was too cheap/lazy to install a thermostat that could run off of the 24V.

When did it become acceptable for homeowners to change batteries for something that is operated on AC power?
