Hello All,
I installed the thermostat last winter and had no issue during the heating season. I have a two story house with baseboard HW oil heat with a air handler and duct work for central air that was added later.
The thermostat is located at the top of the steps in the hallway. The single a/c return air grille is located in the hallway as well.
Now that we are in the A/C season I have noticed that the thermostat has been running for the 9 minutes of the minimum on time and then it shuts off for the minimum 9 minutes of off time and then repeats. It is holding the 76 degree set point but it is not dehumidifying as well as I would like.
I reinstalled my old thermostat and it is running for 30 to 40 minutes cooling down to 75 degrees and then shuts down until the house warms back up again. The system is also dehumidifying the house as it should.
I have tried throttling the upstairs vents and have set the blower fan on it's slowest speed.
The documentation does not have any info on changing the temperature sensitivity or any other settings. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any suggestions. My thoughts are that the thermostat is very sensitive on the temperature side and the return air flowing by the thermostat is amplifying the issue.
