    Lux Pro thermostast, low battery, after power outrage
    I have 2 Lux Pro psp511a thermostasts in my house, this morning there was a power outrage and both of them say low battery and no display, tried power braker, reversing batteries, fan switch is set to auto if move to on position the fan works, replace batteries, maybe the outrage damaged them ? Do I need new termostasts, if so I wonder if edison can cover it.

    Had the same problem with the same model#, display showed : LO BATT, also the mfg says use only Energizer or Duracell Alkaline? Why I don't know, things still seemed to work but because of display couldn't tell what temp settings.

    BTW this happened after power outage (thanks dummies with trees who don't bother to get them trimmed) and the sudden surge when power came back on (thanks SCE) seemed to cause it? At least that's what Lux tech support (856-234-8803) said - burned capacitor (holds small charge) unit is Dead need to replace. He actually said a lot more...

    *** but after he explained how to unmount the unit from the wall plate: push tab on bottom then swings up like garage door and I looked at the back and then remounted the unit and pop in the batteries it came back to life! So I'm lucky and need to count my blessings & be humble :)

    This is a repost from other - sorry its duplicated
