After having my first one destroyed by lightning and having it's replacement come in with only a RC1000 firmware, the 3rd RC2000 I have is functioning but acting strangely.
Came home from work today and noticed it's back light was green instead of blue and it was set to 72 but the arrow next to cool was blinking denoting it was waiting a period to restart, but the house was up to 75 degrees. I asked the wife why it was set to 72 and she said it was getting warm unable to get down to the usual 74. I waited and it eventually started up after time out period, started on first stage, then started second stage as it should with such a large temp difference. I reset the back light to blue and thought everything was ok and went about my business. About 10-15 minutes later I noticed the A/C was off with the stage arrow blinking again and the back light back to green, WTF?
So my questions are:
1. Why would the Omnistat shutdown before it reached the cool set point and go to a blinking stage arrow?
2. Why does the backlight set itself to green? Some kind of energy level thing? Where is this coming from?
3. Could this have anything to do with Zigbee or a smart meter? My original RC2000 didn't have all the zigbee or energy level stuff in the menu.
Seems to be running ok now at night, but it's not having to keep up with daytime heat. really hope this unit isn't defective too, this is getting tiresome.
