Does it monitor the energy usage? Ie - does it tell you how long your furnace was running current day, current week and/or current month?

Yes, it does have a usage function that will display recent usage. I no longer reside where I installed the thermostat so I don't recall the limitations. I think just day and week usage.

vtry is correct, but to be more specific, the 'totalizer' limit is 999 hours. If you 'reset' the filter timer, this will clear the totalizer.

The button on the left shows the hours used.Usage today, usage yesterday, usage this week, usage last week and total. This is a great item.

The device will record power usage for any period of time you require it to. So you can record for 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or 1 month. For an appliance that runs intermittently (like a dehumidifier) you may wish to record usage for 1 week. Then you can extrapolate for the month by multiplying the 1 week consumption by 4. I will not record each interval the device runs separately however. So if you're looking for a series of readings representing each time it ran during that 1 week period, it will not do that. Hope this helps answer your question!

Yes. the watt button gives you instantaneous power usage.The KWH kilowatt hour button gives you power consumption over time.For example, keep your refrigerator on it for 24 hours tells you how muchpower it uses on a typical day. The meter doesn't have batteries. It uses a small amount of current to operate. a power loss would lose the measurement.

Yes it accumulates and tells you for how long it's saved the data. It tells you the cost as well as long as you setup the the kw/h price in the settings.

Yes. It generates reports and will even show you comparisons in run times from month to month. It uses algorithms to calculate the least required amount of run times to maintain the desired temperatures. The web login interface is really nice and informative. This has been the best thermostat we have owned. Reliable, comfortable, cost saver, and easy. What I like about it is how anyone can just easily walk up to it and change the hold temperature by pushing the up or down buttons, yet it has so many features that are laid out in an easy to use web interface.

No it does not. It allows you to turn up and down the temp, and also set back to the current program temp. Pretty basic but workable.TBH, I listen for the click of the relay in the base unit to know when I've triggered heat...

It should show room temp...Turn ac or heat off for awhile and it should change...

Yes, it does. You can set it on different cycles--I use the energy efficient cycle. You set the thermostat at whatever degree you want. Hope this helps you.

Can I use this product to monitor my monthly home A/C usage? I would like to be able to know whatour year round usage.

Can this unit be used to find out the max wattage an appliance uses? I just purchased a portable generator, and would like to see what some of my appliance pull in watts. Thanks

The manual says "Fan Min On Time This feature allows you to determine a minimum time per hour that the furnace fan will run. This improves air circulation and provides a more consistent temperature within the home. It is more cost-effective than choosing the ON fan setting."It is in the preferences section. It can also be set from the Web Interface.Btw: I have not tried this function yet. I may test it out soon. I supposed it is only utilized if the Heat/Cool fan runtime does not meet the Minimum # of minutes set per hour.

Yes, it displays the current room temp, the time of day and the temp that the thermostat is programmed for that time period. The display alternates (blinks) between time of day and current room temp, with the setting temp remaining constant on display on far right of display screen. Hope this helps

It does always show the current temperature. If it is turned, it shows the "set" temperature. And, as the last responder had said, if it's dark you do have to press the bottom of the thermostat to get the backlight to show the present temp.

It will measure the kWh used by whatever is pluged in to it. It will also aggregate the total kWh used for a period of time. I used it for deciding how big of a ups I need for my nas and router.

All it does is show the current temperature in the room. I think you're supposed to be able to set it to a temperature you want cool the room down to, but the fan is not powerful enough for that. It's pretty pointless, I never use it.

it has a timer but not for time display. It is only for showing functions and temperature status.

The control that sets the amount of heat is separate from the control that sets the time that the heat is active. Therefore the answer is YES. There is no timer that just measures time and the appropriate alarm (which would be useful).Haby
