Does it work with in-floor radiant heat?Does it send you an alert when power goes out?Does it send an email/text if a certain temp. is exceeded?

Keep in mind if have you whole home with radiant heat it should work, but I suggest checking with the radiant heat manufacturer first. I have radiant heat in my sun room independent from the rest of my home which has central heat and air. In this case I have a separate thermostat in the sun room. I set this on a timer to come on to heat the floor at night it can be adjusted to turn off when the floor reaches a certain temp or turn off when the ambient temp reaches a certain temp. Venstar thermostat only measures ambient temp.

It should work with radiant heat, but I don't think it will email or text you when there is a problem.

It will heat the room running at full blast. If you have a high ceiling it may not work. These heaters are also dangerous in air tight rooms - burn up oxygen...

It will email you and you can set the parameters. It's really a terrific thermostat. I've have 2 installed in my home

It all depends what you're using it for. I'm only heating my room instead of constantly heating my own apt. another nice feature this does is you can turn dial to how warm you want the room. when the room reaches that temp it turn off. I find this feature great. I have a 10 by 10 room and on a level of 1 it can heat it up pretty good.

I have one installed in my upper level. I did have a freeze issue in the basement which stopped my heat. The alarm did go off and call but I wish I would have had one in the lower level to prevent some damage. If you find an answer please let me know as I too am considering having two on the same phone line. Will that work?

It heats both the floor and somewhat heats the room. And it senses both. Hope this is helpful.

I didnt know it was "heat sensitive"....all I know is that it is motion activated. I have heated my garage and that has never activated it !

Unless your local codes, etc. allow unlicensed homeowners to modify their wiring, I would urge contacting a reputable licensed electrician to set up your thermostat and attach the wiring. You can safely install the heat element mats and the thermostat sensor wire under your flooring by closely following the instal instructions - in particular extra care to see that heat element wires are not nicked. You're electrician will check for this before wiring in to the household power. It is a good product and wonderful,economical heat when complete. - Hope this helps!

Yes it does. You see current temp, the current target temperature, whether it is on heat or cool, fan settings, et al. I have set up notifications when the current room temp drops below 50 degrees, so I get an email letting me know. I also set it so that it cannot be set over 75 degrees. Lastly, it emails me when batteries are running low, say below 15%. Hope that helps.

I also have radiant floor heating with a gas furnace. This is the thermostat you want. There is a click, and it is audible in the room where it is located but not alarmingly so.

This thermostat is for the in-floor heating wires. It is not designed to control the heating system of your house.

It will light and heat up but the fan that circulates the heat won't work with the power out. So it depends what your trying to heat. For a small area it would be good.

Yes you can have it send you text and/or e-mail notices if temp goes above or below certain temps. Also if furnace staying on longer than expected, motion (with addition of inexpensive wireless sensor) etc. Also my experience with their support has been very good.

If you have an air vent close to the sensor, it will detect the change in temperature from the heater/AC airflow. One of my bathrooms has that issue. Try redirecting the airflow higher so it's not registered by the sensor.

yes it does. It gives off a soft heat, not like most heaters that blasts heat and dispences to the ceiling. Works best when it really cold. Not when its mildly cold.

Yes, it works just like a thermostat, turning the heater on when the room falls below your set temperature, and back off when it is up to your preset temperature.
