Programmable thermostats are becoming more popular as people are focused on saving money. Ableton live 9. These thermostats allow the homeowner to set heating and cooling programs that use the most energy only when people are present in the house. They are reliable for the most part, but they do malfunction occasionally.
>>> DOWNLOAD <<<My parents have a Noma programmable thermostat where you can specify what the temperature should be certain times of the day. Is there a way to have it programmed so it automatically adjusts the inside temperature so it stays constant? For example, let's say it they want the house to be 21 degrees, the thermostat automatically heats or cools down to maintain that - so if one day is -5 and it goes to up to 10 degrees it will automatically adjust the heat lower, so it stays at 21.
What's happening now is that house either gets too cold or too hot based on how cold/warm it is outside even though the thermostat says 21, it's definitely hotter or cooler than that. Can anyone help? Has to thermostat been programmed to stay at 21 degrees?The thermostats that I use will turn on when the temp drops 1 degree below the setting, and turn off 1 degree above the setting. That is in OP's case, furnace will turn on a 20 degrees and turn off at 22 degrees. (I think some will do it at the 1/2 degree change.)The problem with most homes is the temperature is not uniform throughout the house. Basement is 2 degrees colder if it is not insulated, family room if it has a huge patio door will be 2 degree colder, rooms above the furnace will be warmer due to proximity to the larger heating ducts.)The thermostat is normally located in one spot. That one spot cannot represent the entire house.
In warmer rooms, one could close the vents to 1/2. In colder rooms, add a small heater to the room. Yes it's been programmed to 21 but it's pumping out heat to 21 degrees but doesn't account for when it jumps to 14 degrees like today so it's bloody hot so it has to be manually lowered/increased. I realise the heat isn't even dispersed especially in this house but there's a thermostat for each and it should be able to detect -+5 degree difference, no?
Not looking to replace their thermostat for them - just want to configure this one properly.The thermostats that I use will turn on when the temp drops 1 degree below the setting, and turn off 1 degree above the setting.

The body feels humidity as well as 'heat loss'. Even though the furnace and thermostat are working properly setting the temparature at the same temperature let's say 21c and let's even say that humidity has not changed, when its 0c out, it will feel colder in the house than when its 15c out. This is due to slight drafts and how the heat is propogating from the house to the outside at a faster rate at 0c than at 15c. Also the heat that is being pumped out isn't the temperature that you set it at.
Its pumping out warmer air and stops when the desired temperature is reached.My thermostat cycles on and off 6 times an hour to keep the temperature constant rather than waiting for a dip in the temperature before it turns on. This is a design feature. It certainly helps on the colder days.
And on the warmer days, I find it doesn't do this. Does yours have this feature?Additionally, the body feels warmer or colder based on how much physical activity it is getting and whether you are hungry or not. Sitting on the couch watching TV near dinner time, you are definitely going to feel colder than after having lunch and running around doing chores.All you can do with the thermostat is set it so that you are comfortable MOST of the time.
And adjust manually for the few other times. Unless they invent a thermostat that plugs into your biometrics. But then, one person could be hot and another could be cold.EDIT: I have also heard that Noma's are not the greatest. I have a Honeywell.

Sounds like this model isn't meant to be used for a heat/ac set-up. Are all the time zones set to 21.? Is the thermostat set on 'manual' instead of 'automatic'?
