Does the TH6320WF have a real time clock--will it maintain a programmed time, date, schedule following a prolonged power outage?

I have had the power go out a few times and everything went back to normal and the wifi still worked. Once my router went to its default setting and I lost my network name when it booted up and had to reprogram the router and the reset the thermostat through Honeywell. I automatically got an email telling me that the wifi was not connected. As long as your router starts up as before the outage I think you should be ok.

Mine has gone through an outage of about 12 hours and the unit and returned to the schedule I had programmed. I am not sure how long you mean by 'prolonged'. I also have a wifi programmable Lennox wifi thermostate. I am replacing it with the Honeywell wheich is far superior. The clock is internet set so quite accurate.

Yes, you program the thermostat with time / date and a daily schedule. Have not had a power outage (yet) to judge its accuracy after.

It has a LI battery to maintain the clock and ROM setting. Should last a long time and you do not change batteries, it runs off 24v power.

Also the scheduled is saved and you can access the scheduled at any time from the Web or app that connects through the Web, giving you the ability to change the schedule, turn on or off, turn fan on our off so really do anything as of you were standing inept of it, actually one I installed it and configured for Web use I have not touched a button of the thermostat I have done all my changes through the Web, its really really cool, I highly recommend this unit

it takes the time from the network but I have not had an extended power outage only short less than 30min but it kept the time due to the network

It automatically pulls the time from a "Time Server" as it is connected to the internet

It is like all mechanical timers... You have to set the time by rotating the dial. If there is a power outage the dial will stop rotating for the duration of the outage and automatically resume rotation when power is restored. The time will not correct itself when the power is resumed. You must manually rotate the dial again until the correct time is set. I used these for heat tape switches so I didn't break the bank with my power bill and have to remember to reset the time after a power outage, otherwise the heat tape will come on at the wrong time.

For prolonged power outages, it's possible that it would lose its settings. However, for brief power failure... it comes right back online when power is restored. Also, it DOES have a programable choice to set a Daylight Savings time option. It's a good thermostat... I'm happy that it was this that failed, and NOT a break in the heating elements under the tile!

Dear Florida, I looked through the owner's manual, and I can find no reference to a backup battery. I have experienced several power outtages, and all settings including time and date were preserved each time. Willy seems to have had a different experience with losing time and date, so you're left to figure out which one answers your question. Have you called/written Rainbird? That would give you your most authoritative rather than anecdotal answer. I've had nothing but good performance from my unit which I've had for nearly 3 years. The manual one-zone-at-a-time limitation has not been an issue for me, but I can understand it could be annoying for some.

Below is what the tech specs say about loss of power. There is no replaceable battery that I see. I suspect it the local time is saved via a capacitor type back up and the other settings are stored permananetly any time you set them. I have only reset mine once and that was because I wanted the light to come on later because of holiday deco's on the porch.Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved.

It does have a clock feature. When the unit is off, nothing on the display. However, while unit is off, if "clock" button is pressed on remote, the time will appear on the screen, for about 20 seconds, without having to power on the unit.

Yes. The clock only is displayed while plugged in. Yet it keeps the current.

Sorry, our clock is working just fine. Have not had to reset it since we set up the machine.

Yes, once the unit has been plugged in and charged, it has a back-up battery that will preserve time and settings during intermittent power outages.

I don't think so--I don't recall that it has a clock feature at all. I'm not using it for that purpose, though, so I may have overlooked it.

Hi Steve. No, there is no programming available on this unit. I was going to suggest an appliance timer but I think that after the power to the unit was disconnected it would not come on by default when the timer restored power. Hope this helps

No but looses the time unless you very quick at reconnecting it. I always check my programing after changing a battery and it has not changed but until yesterday I have always had to reset time. I changed the battery yesterday and the time remained on so I guess I was quicker than normal.

You do need to "reset it" in terms of "what time is it?" since it will have stopped turning and be X hours behind schedule, but you don't need to "reset it" in terms of reprograming when you want it to turn things on and off, those stay mechanically set until you change them.

I have not experienced a power outage since purchasing the phone. However I did program the phone with approximately 20 names and phone numbers. I then unplugged and repacked the the phone in the original box. It remained there for 2 weeks. When I arrived at my father's I opened the box, installed the phones and all the names and phone numbers were as I installed them 2 weeks previous. Because we had call display the time/date sets automatically. Hope this helps.

Haven't lost power yet, but the lithium battery should allow it to keep accurate time. Another switch, by another manufacturer, is still keeping accurate time months after I put it in a drawer.

Its has a built in battery. Nothing to worry, all data will be in safe for longer time period. I can't say exactly how long. But I can tell you a clue. It took 21 days to come this unit by post to Sri Lanka and at the time of receiving power is ON. which means this will last over 21 days without any problem. But There is one thing I could't check.. Most important thing. Most of the timers have that issue. If the power goes off when it is ON state and power resumes after OFF time. It will resume the power back because its relay is already on and couldn't go to OFF status when there is no power. In that case it will work when we don't want. So it is a problem for most of the times. So far never seen a one which will override that issue. Unfortunately I couldn't test this unit for that fault. Thanks !
