fishelmo Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Hi everyone, I bought the ISY system but I haven't install it yet since my house is still under construction. I have been advised to use the Schlage BC469 door locks. So I am going to buy the Z-wave module. Then I am able to use both Insteon and Z-Wave devices. In terms of thermostat, I have 5 Insteon 2441ZTH, which is the lowest model from Insteon and it's not programmable. Since I have the ISY, does it matter if I go for higher model? With the non-programmable 2441ZTH, I can still schedule the temp changes through ISY, right? Is there any benefit of getting higher model Insteon thermostats? Or should I go for some other Z-Wave models? Thanks!
stusviews Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Insteon does not have a lower/higher thermostat. All three thermostats are programmable. In fact, all three thermostats are identical except as follows: 2441TH: Wired, meant for conventional HVAC systems 2732-242: Wired, meant for heat pump systems 2441ZTH: Battery powered, meant to be used as an accessory for either wired Insteon thermostat. A wired thermostat can be controlled by up to two battery powered thermostats. The 2441ZTH cannot control an HVAC (or heat pump) system unless it's linked to a wired Insteon thermostat. Extra: if the 2441ZTH is NOT linked to a wired Insteon thermostat, then it can be used as a stand alone thermostat to control another Insteon device. 1
