This Lux unit comes to the top when I search for a plug-in thermostat with a remote sensor, but does it actually have a remote sensor?

The sensor is a short 1" stalk attached to the unit. It can be bent to position it away from the wall, etc. But that's it.

no, the sensor is housed in that little thing sticking up out of the unit in the photo. it's connected by a short wire to the unit so i imagine you could cut it and attach your own sensor to it.

The sensor is built into the top of the unit and does control it but is not separate from the device itself. They should use the term "control" sensor and not remote sensor.

The thermostat is in the untit that plugs into the wall. The unit plugs into the wall, (we plugged it into a heavy duty extention cord) and whatever you are controlling, plugs into it. We set it so our swamp cooler turns off when the temperature reaches 72 degrees, and it works great. Hope this answers your question!

I looked it over. I use it in the winter on a small heater in my generator house. It plugs in an outlet and the thing sticking it the air on the photo tells the unit the temp.. There is no other sensor. I do like it for what I use it for.

The TX9100U will have a cooling & heating differential will will allow the thermostat to come on when the room temperature exceeds the set temperature and run until the room temperature goes slightly below the set temperature before it cuts off. This is the our thermostats normal operation. Lux Tech Service

Yes, It's a very good unit if you're avoiding a programmable thermostat. I'm glad I bought this thermostat.

No, there is not. I returned this product to Amazon because it did NOT function most of the time. I could walk right up to the sensor and my attached desk lamp would NOT come on. In my opinion, do NOT buy this product !!

I do recall reading about a remote sensor option. Their customer service was spot on with info when I called.

My husband installed it and I remember him complaining about the sensor being only controlled by sunlight (dawn to dusk). So we ended up putting a programmable timer in the series and plugged that into the outlet. Involves some wiring but simple enough.

I bought this sensor and it did not work with the thermostat I purchased. The sensor only works with Honeywell's more expensive Vision Pro line. The description with the sensor is not clear about this and should be revised.

Most likely. If you turn off the power to your existing system and pull the existing control away from the wall you should be able to see which wires it uses. Don't go just on the color of the wire look at the label on the existing thermostat. Compare this to the diagrams in the manual (http://www.luxproducts.com/support/TX1500E_ENG_Manual.pdf) and make sure you've got all the right connections.

No thermostat is included with unit, I went with a wall mount thermostat but I'm sure you can get one that will install on one of the wire compartments of the unit.

not programmable--plug in--see "blankets" answer below--it points out shortcomings of the thermostat

i dont believe the thermostat can read the remote "thermostat" or remote "sensors", unless it has the 12 volt power from the 4th wire to operate that part of the system

No it doesn't. Just on off switch.you have to purchase the thermostat seperately

The temerature sensor is not mounted in the fan. It is in the remote control. FYI, we are very satisfied with this unit.

I just followed the listing info which said....Th7000 and Th8000 Thermostats (made by Honeywell). The remote sensor takes the place of the internal sensor on the thermostat, which is what I needed. Hope that helps.

No that was one of my disappointment when I got it, no thermostat. There is only an ON/OFF button.

I had one that had a remote thermostat. Another one I had it was in the duct at the fan assembly.

the RTH6580WF is a 'retail' thermostat with no remote sensor contacts or capabilities of running a remote indoor sensor
