is this unit able to report how long the ac has been on?

Not as far as I can tell. There is no place in the local or remote UI that shows this that I can find.There is no explicit notification (configured for email and/or local) for the unit powering up either - if there was you could deduce this.

Yes. It generates reports and will even show you comparisons in run times from month to month. It uses algorithms to calculate the least required amount of run times to maintain the desired temperatures. The web login interface is really nice and informative. This has been the best thermostat we have owned. Reliable, comfortable, cost saver, and easy. What I like about it is how anyone can just easily walk up to it and change the hold temperature by pushing the up or down buttons, yet it has so many features that are laid out in an easy to use web interface.

I've had mine for 6 months and the unit shows 90% battery remaining. There is no AC connection but there are configurable alerts - including low battery that you can have emailed, messaged to your phone, and they have a user-friendly mobile app that displays alerts as well. I'd say that you'd be okay unless whatever you are monitoring is remote and you do not visit at least yearly. I'll qualify that by saying my unit is in a location with reliable utilities and I regularly access the location so I am alerted by the sensor several times a week - I'm sure everyone's mileage may vary.

If being charged by AC there is an auto shut off. If plugged into a DC power source you have to monitor the charging by eye.

No, there is no indicator. At full power it lasts about 1 and a half hours, maybe a little less so best to charge it daily/every second day

What the unit is going to do is turn the whole unit off....or on. I use it with refs for brewing beer, french fryer for Sous Vide cooking, but AC may have time delay or other controls that inhibit good or proper control.

You can alter the configuration of the device in the setup and tell it to display either C of F.This can be changed at any time and it will retain the setting in between power ups.

Yes, count to 2 and it's on. Not a problem once you get used to it. Good unit.

NO -- not automatically anyway -- I would recommend a timer switch, that you can turn on for 10 to 30 minutes. If the dehumidistat switch is already installed you could add the timer switch in addition to it...

Yes, if you hit the sensor button on the remote, the AC will use that sensor's temp to determine when to cut on and off.

I put the ac in a rental unit and am not sure - sorry. I know the tenant is very happy with the unit!

Yes. The cord from AC to the unit is white and has an on/off only function.

It will measure the kWh used by whatever is pluged in to it. It will also aggregate the total kWh used for a period of time. I used it for deciding how big of a ups I need for my nas and router.

Not that I'm aware of, I just had a power outage yesterday and the unit remained off

Hi. You can set it to a mode that will announce time every hour if you like. It does not tell weather.

No, not completely. At least not that I'm aware of. When it's been idle for a little while, it goes into a standby mode where it displays BC 5.12 (the model number) and the current time.

My unit ran on batteries for 6 months and is still running. There is no ac connection

Yes!- there is a button you can press to make the unit shut off anywhere from 1-8 hours.
