RCHT8600 Series
Thermostat features
The RCHT8600 series Z-Wave Programmable Thermostat is a Z-Wave Plus
certified thermostat designed to work with any Z-Wave compliant controller or
gateway for easy programming and automation to deliver energy savings and
comfort at the same time. The thermostat can be operated in any Z-Wave network
together with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All non-
battery operated Z-Wave devices (nodes) within the network will act as repeaters
regardless of manufacturer to increase reliability of the network. When integrated
with the app that controls your Z-Wave controller, it lets you program and control
your home's HVAC system as well as control other Z-Wave devices connected to
the same Z-Wave controller.
Flexible scheduling: The thermostat is fully programmable when not included
into a Z-Wave network. Each day can be programmed for different heating and
cooling settings in 4 unique periods (Wake, Away, Home, Sleep). The thermostat
scheduling options available differ depending on whether the thermostat
is included or excluded from Z-Wave network, on capability of your Z-Wave
controller and app to program thermostat.
Displays ambient air temperature, % relative indoor humidity and reports
HVAC system status: You can display actual temperature or % relative humidity,
or to see whether your cooling / heating system is running.
Auto change from heat to cool: When Auto mode is selected, the RCHT8600
series Z-Wave thermostat can automatically determine whether your home needs
heating or cooling to reach the desired temperature at the right time.
Smart Alerts: The RCHT8600 series Z-Wave thermostat can alert you when your
HVAC system is not working properly and can remind you for things like when to
change your furnace filter.
Smart Response Technology: The RCHT8600 series Z-Wave thermostat learns
your heating and cooling cycle times to make sure the system delivers the
temperature you want, when you want it. (Available only if the local thermostat
schedule is enabled.)
Power method: Designed for battery operation (3 x AA batteries) or for 24 VAC
power operation (via a "C" or common wire).
