Can I bypass the thermostat, or does it have to be thermostat-controlled?

The fan is not connected to the house thermostat and does not have its own thermostat. It turns on when solar panel recievies enough sunlight and turns off when sunlight disappears. No on/off switch, simply works with the sun. On a cloudy day, fan may not turn on

I think the thermostat is "hard-wired" in, but it's part of the lead wires between the panel and the fan, so if you're a master electrician you could probably cut the wires yourself to remove the thermostat mid-line, then splice them back together to bypass it, but that would probably void any warrantees.

Yes. The thermostat is on a small circuit board -- easily reachable. A pair of wires comes from the solar panel -- cut that. Another pair goes to the fan. Cut that pair and connect to solar pair. Run free. Sam

There is no way unless you buy a separate adjustable thermostat and wire it in.

Not unless you can find a remote thermostat for fan type unit heaters - not sure there is such a thing. Most remote thermostats will cut power to the whole unit without allowing the fan to cool down the element, which will eventually fry the element.

Yes, you can. There are 4 tabs along the top of the screen. Under the System tab, your options are: Heat; Cool; Off. Unfortunately, the auto changeover capability is not controlled here. Rather, you have to go to the Menu tab and drill way down, as follows: Menu/Preferences/Advanced Preferences/Heating and Cooling System Changeover. When you get to this screen, your options are: Manual; Automatic. This is where you control the auto changeover between heat and cool. My guess is that Honeywell has buried this capability so deep that many owners have not found it. My recommendation to Honeywell would be to put a checkbox right in the System tab to allow auto changeover or not, at the owner's discretion.

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

I would not do that unless you knew the location of the internal thermostat. Check with manufacturer or schematic.

I have not left it on if I am gone, however the heat element does turn on and off automatically according to whatthe thermostat is set for. I think you would probably be ok.

No. What you have is a knob that has low, medium and high. I have not had any problem with this setup, I don't know if a thermostat would make a difference. If I had a furnace yes a thermostat is what you want.I prefer to control the unit myself.

Yes, furnace will come on and off to maintain the temperature you set. Non programmable means you need to press the up/down button manually to set the temp.

Absolutely. I've accessed my thermostat from Europe (the thermostat's in the high country of Arizona). As long as the internet is up and the thermostat is connected, you're all set.

Yes .. You can add a thermostat.. I actually installed a heat only wall mount thermostat .. You will have to install a control transformer also... Use the thermostat to break your primary voltage.

you need something like this Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostatit does not have a thermostat built in

NO Wired thermostats available for this unit. Yes, there is an AUTO mode which will switch over between Heat and Cool modes as needed.

Not from the remote iPhone app. Not sure about the setting directly on the thermostat

With this model you can access the thermostat remotely via your computer, tablet or smartphone as long as there is internet service in the house. You can monitor and adjust the temperature remotely, change the programming, turn the fan on/off, etc. The unit requires a third wire which may or may not be present. We did have the third wire, but found out the control panel didn't support this unit and had to pay $400 for a new panel in order for the thermostat to work ($250 parts and $150 labor). That was an unexpected cost, but overall we are happy with the thermostat.

I'm pretty sure this unit is unable to do so as it is primarily a baseboard heating thermostat. It doesn't have a cool setting just the setting of the temp buttons

It's a relay that has a timer and thermostat connected to it. As long as you respect the load rating of the relay (thermostat), you can switch anything.
