Problem Thermostat is taking a long time to respond to a controller. Thermostat changed “all by itself.” Thermostat is locked up. Possible Cause The controller may be sending commands to a responder that is no longer in use. Commands for the unused responder are being resent and loading down the signal. Solution Unlink any unused responders from the controller. HINT: If you are using home automation software such as HouseLinc, you can easily check scene membership and eliminate unnecessary links.
