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 have the same set up that you have and are also away for six months every year and it works perfectly, A/C hardly if ever comes on. I also have a separate humidistat which is battery powered and a WiFi camera focussed on that for monitoring. If the WiFi goes out the cameras are the only ones affected.
