thermostats (help) what do you use?

[spyderrobotics]

Do my eyes deceive me? I just looked up the herpstat 4... do i see an enter button? as in I don't have to wait for it to cycle through stuff to adjust something? If that's the case, best feature yet, I hate my Herpstat II for that reason.

Herpstat Pro had the enter button too. The Herpstat II was the first multi outlet thermostat I designed. It was also the first to use a membrane faceplate. That sticker in the front actually has micro switches in it. Its pretty slick but you do pay a good amount per button. Also due to the smaller lcd at the time couldn't write a nice menu like the PRO and 4 have. So it was decided it would just cycle. This is fairly acceptable for the Herpstat ND but with two outputs worth of features on the II it does take a little time. However, I thought it was no big deal because I figured it would be set up and then left alone. I didn't realize how often people like to change the temps on the thermostat.

The Pro brought a huge screen and much better menu system. The 4 took the same lcd and then I tweaked the menu even more. Needless to say its pretty quick to change a setting.

I am looking at refresh of our single and dual output products adding in alot of the new tech I invented with the 4. No release dates on that though.
