What happens when the power fails and comes back on? Does the unit reset to a default or stay normal?

I replaced an old Honeywell thermostat which didn't have a 24v Common wire with the CT100 Z-Wave Programmable, so I've always used the 4 AA batteries to power it. They last forever, and power failures have no effect.

This question made me think a bit.....I don't recall ever having to reset the thermostat. And, I know we've lost power a few times. Hope this helps!

Also, if you use Alarm.com, you can check on the thermostat at any time and change the temp. We even did this from a cruise ship - we were worried because we didn't set the house on air when we left the cats at home. Jumped on Alarm.com and changed it .....I do this to also keep heating bills down. I up the heat/air from my phone on the way home. Love it

If it see any trouble it will kill all power. Love mine! I'm sure it has saved me money from bad power.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

The unit is plugged into the wall, so yes, it comes back on when the Power is restored. Once its installed and setup, you will never need to do anything with it again. Works great, and the little noise that it make is great 'white' noise to help the kids sleep.

This happened a couple of times to us. Pushed the reset button and it always starts back up. I thought it had something to do with our outlet...but maybe not. But the reset button always starts it right back up.

We have not had to endure any sort of power outage since we installed the unit. However, I did unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plugged it back in and the unit restarted with the same settings it had displayed prior to unplugging it.

With the unit turned off , unplug the base unit power plug for one minute . It helped mine reset itself .

If the light was on when the power went out it will come back on. It will not turn on if the light was off when the power went out.

If you're having so many regular power failures you should have backup power anyway since that kind of thing is really, really bad for your system. At some point you're absolutely going to lose data or your system will become unstable. - Trust me, I work in IT.

Did this event already occur to you? It has not to me. However, if the surge created from all of your power coming on at once did not short out your device, then it should power back on automatically. Personally, I usually unplug all important devices when the power goes off.

Make sure tfirst that your outlet or breaker for the outlet is reset and that you have power. also see if anything else in the house was blown. power going off and on should not hurt the unit. A power surge would. I am not sure about the fusing of the system but I assume there is one in the internal transformer. Since I do not know your expertise I am not sure what to recommend but if you are not a technician and the unit has been plugged into a live outlet then take it to a local radio or electronics shop and have them look at the power supply.

There is no reset that I am aware of. Does the control display turn on, indicating that it has power. As a safety feature, the power cord is held in place by magnets. It very easily can become detached, but still appear to be properly in place.

I would unplug the unit for a few minutes then plug it back in. If that doesn't work then try resetting the unit, here is the link for the instructions: http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/D1680-4om.pdf

It will not operate without electricity. It will restart at preset settings when power is restored.

Hi Christa! Yes, with a power outage this would go out, because it is plugged into the wall. I, personally, keep it plugged in to a socket that has its own switch to turn it on off. I always keep it on, so if the power goes out (as it has in my house), when the power comes back on, as long as it is still plugged back in, it comes right back on by itself! Hope that answers your question! :)

if it's set at on when the power goes out, it will automatically come back on when the power is restored
