We purchased our 382rk in February 2024 and we absolutely love it. I’ve been concerned with our thermostats (3). It seems they are not reading room temperature correctly. We reside in Deep South Texas. All screens are pulled down to conserve energy. Is there anything I can do to calibrate or reset them? I’ve shut them off, thinking this would work, it didn’t. For instance darkest room is bedroom and it reads hotter than the rest of the living space But it feels cool. I’m just worried an inaccurate thermostat is cause for constant running of air conditioner to meet room temperature demand.

How do your readings compare to a stand a lone thermometer placed within an inch or two of your t-stat?
Also, there will be a variable based on the installation location of the t-stat. Meaning an outside wall mounted location would likely read different then one that is mounted on an internal wall. For example, our 310 RL has two of the three stats mounted in the hallway (interior wall, hall on one side and bathroom on the other.) Our third stat in the bedroom is mount on the front wall, and shares the back of the wall with the closet in the front cap.(still technically interior I guess).We normally keep the closet door closed, so the closet doesn’t cool at the same rate and would be slightly warmer than the open space of the bedroom. Mounting locations are called out in the instructions and warn against certain locations.
I would expected variability.
I don’t believe that they are field calibratable.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I haven’t yet taken my own reading from an alternative device.….only from my observation walking in and looking at the reading.

I don’t think they are sensing temperature at the thermostat, I think they are sensing the temperature at the air conditioner, i.e., the ceiling.
Our 2024 310rl thermostat temperature reading is much higher than the thermometer reading next to it. I tried two different thermometers.
In warm weather I set the two back ACs at 74-76 degrees to make the room temperature at counter level 68 degrees.
Front AC isn’t quite as bad because of lower ceiling.
Sounds crazy but I think that is what’s going on.
Either that or they are reading 6-8 degrees high.

And it is door number 2!
Checked the thermostats with a calibrated thermometer. The two living area thermostats read 4-5 degrees high. Thermostat in the bedroom is pretty close. I can’t find any mention of adjustment so I guess we are stuck with it. Pretty piss poor accuracy for a thermostat.
