I have read that the RTH9585WF will work with a heat pump.
Back a few years ago I was told to set temp and never touch it. With this new thermostat is it ok to set temp for 60 at 7:00 am and 70 at 6:00 pm? Will this cause axillary heat to come on? Thx null

Hi BigBruno! The Honeywell - Smart Color Thermostat with Wi-Fi Connectivity - Silver is compatible for a heat pump application, however it does not have backup heat differential, therefor the thermostat will engage you backup heat only when the heat pump is locked out and not based off of temperature set point. Hope this answers your question!
