Have any of you compared this to another thermometer/thermostat. Mine seems to be off by two degrees; I checked it against two others.

It isn`t off it`s set that way. It`s that way so it won`t constantly be running. You can adjust it if you wish.

Mine seems to be accurate. I've checked it against our indoor thermometer in a different room.

I found that the unit is totally unreliable, the heater will not hold its temp,I seen up to an 8 degree variation and lost 2 clutches..I stopped using it..good luck!

Well I had to get used to mine...power on..after I set the temps in each zone I hit start and then keep hitting select until u see temps rising and a little dot blinking beside each temp...just to lower right..hope that helps...:-D

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

The ambient temperature on mine appears to be accurate. It does short cycle like others have mentioned.

I have 2 of these and the humidistat seems to read differently in each one. You can't calibrate it. I just set it to achieve the humidity I want, using what I assume is a more accurate humidity gauge. This is the AcuRite gauge I use. AcuRite 00613A1 Indoor Humidity Monitor

Other than having another faulty thermostat, I would check the mounting. If not mounted correctly the unit may not operate as designed. One other thing, be sure you are exceeding the room temperature when operating the unit. If the room temperature is higher than the thermostat setting it will not fire.

I put mine in the freezer overnight and it gave a good reading. Then I left it out on the cupboard to check it for accuracy and it came up to the furnace's room temperature to the exact degree. So then I put it in the 'frig. That seemed to take a little longer - a day or so. I'm very happy!

same problem, im sure it is due to the sensor that reads the return air temp. my wire has moved, getting erratic readings too. long yellow wire in the unit, not sure where it should be mounted though

Mine for some reason is doing the opposite. I have mine all the way up on 7 and with the cold weather here, I'm lucky to get 30% humidity readings upstairs. Any suggestions experts?

Last year the temp held true. But it is very hard to read the little thermometer in the unit. This year it was really hard to get the temp right. Perhaps if I found a secondary digital thermometer I might have had better luck.

Norm, did you find a thermostat that can offer what you were looking for? I'm looking for the same thing, 77 in the summer and 68 in the winter. I haven't seen one yet that can allow 4 daily temperature changes while maintaining seperate profiles for summer and winter

I am having the same problem...brought it back 3x without success...also temp guage not working properly either

It seems pretty accurate. However, the latch is not tight on ours..the metal hook seems to large, so if that is an issue with yours that might be the culprit for fluctuating temp.

Did you calibrate it? You need to have or make a calibration sample at the correct temp and then adjust it. Mine was right on out of the box but they do vary

I used to check tap temp. Accurate. Fluid surface temps do vary though. Very accurate on everything else. Good value.

Only put the probe in the smoker. My 1st thermometer was off by 50 degrees! I had to exchange it. The 2nd was only off a few degrees.
