Hello Sieghard, You're a funny man; however, in this instance, the batteries can be used to power the device if one does not have the C cable. Obviously, when using the batteries as the power source, the device would remain active regardless of any external circumstance. Mark -Original

I will try this method the next time I need to move an app. I have always thought it were as if something was slugish somehow and wasn't quite following the swiping to get to what I want. By no means is it 100 percent acurate, but I have discovered that if I swipe two selections beyond what I

Thanks Mark. I did not get the point of having to install batteries before attaching to the base. Does that mean you have to take the thermostat off its base each time you need to change the battery? Does the app have a battery meter to let you know if the battery is weak? Cheers, Sent from my

The purpose of the C wire is to provide power. Some units will allow for the use of batteries to provide this power. it appears that this is the case with this particular unit. Andy - Original Message - From: "M. Taylor" To: Cc: Sent: Friday, January 06, 2023 9:06 AM Subject:

Hello Chris, This particular thermostat has a terminal for a grounding wire but I do not know if one is required. I think not. While not wanting to get off-point, I will say that I suspect that many thermostats, in order to be widely compatible, allow for a great many installation
