We like to know about these things in advance of calling Munns or SunKool, as we don't want them selling us a thermostat we don't want.
Many thanks in advance for any comments.

I had installed a Honeywell thermostat model TH9302 0WF 5003 when we bought our property. it is a Wi-Fi thermostat so you can look at your settings and also temperature and humidity when you’re away using your app. When I’m not there, I typically keep my house between 80 and 82° and my humidity is around 35 to 40% inside the house. if your Wi-Fi should go off, I am pretty sure the thermostat will stay at the current settings and maintain temperature. I have had my Wi-Fi off a few times and everything came back on the way it should. I’m not sure what the Honeywell humidistat is on your wall, I would not think you’d have a Humidifier that you would have used in the winter time but not sure. Typically, that is what that humidistat would be used for. These thermostats are typically not hard to install and also not hard to set up but that depends on your comfort level. Good luck with your search.
