does this termostat use batteries or hard wired?

It uses two batteries to operate the electronics. It is wired back to the furnace/air conditioner to control it.

It is hard wired...they all are. This is so it can communicate with the heating system...when to go on and off. There are only two wires (red & white) if you have a standard heating system.It does have two AAA batteries, but they are for the lighted digital display and the memory functions.

I ordered a plug in model. The decided to hard wire it. The descriptions will tell you if the model is a hardwire

It didn't end up working with my house because you have to wire it in. I thought it was battery operated. Sorry!!

Hello Enairo, the thermostat operates on two AA batteries, not included, and the wiring is low voltage with connects to a control board which turns the heater or air conditioner, on or off. This control board is were the AC voltage is connected, it is not connected to the thermostat. Hope this answers your question.

t requires 2 aa batteries to store info, and it gets wired up to the back panel. The front of the thermostat can be detached from the back panel. I had my a/c guy install the unit, but it's not very hard to do it. It comes with instructions.

Yes the thermostat's batteries retain the its settings during power outages. These batteries run down in about 1 day unless external power is applied however. The power from the thermostat wiring must be supplemented from an external source. I ran an additional cable from the furnace for this purpose and the thermostat now operates an monitors temperature in my vacation house. I also have a "NEST" thermostat ($250 @ LOWES) as well which has more features and is able to run solely on the 2 existing thermostat wires in the wall.

this thermostat requires 2 wires from the control unit for power- no batteries. The "thermostat" unit is really a touchscreen control unit- all the real brains are in the control module, which is best located close to the furnace- but can technically be anywhere you get good reception for the wireless units (be aware though that add-ons like sensors need to be wired into the control module- so plan ahead).

It does require a C'wire power. There are other Z-wave thermostats out there, that are battery powered and should work in your case. I have one on my upstairs HVAC by a company called 2GIG.

It just has a positive and ground wire that come off the switch box. You can put a plug on it or go straight to battery. Hope this helps

It is wired. If it wasn't you would go through a lot of batteries. Trust me we have the ds version.

The batteries are included. It is not necessary to hard wire into the room you are monitoring. There are removable self adhesive strips that can mount the device to most surfaces. Ideal for RV, Campers, Boats, Planes, Foreign Hotels, etc. Let's hope you don't need the detector, and be glad that you had it!

There is a 9 volt battery compartment in this unit. This is a hard wired unit, the battery is just for backup.

no, Hard-Wired means that it connects directly to an electrical light outlet box installed in the wall; usually done by an electrician but a good handyman could probably do it

The thermostat does not use batteries. It runs off the 24V power, so a common is required.

The ones in our house are hard wired but it needs a battery back up in case the electricity goes out - so I guess I can't honestly answer that question!!! Sorry.

The unit has a manual power switch. I have not allowed it to remain powered on to see if the unit powers down on its own, but I'm going to say it does not given the seemingly hard-wired manual switch.- Stephen
