Jeff,
On your new thermostat.....does the thermostat retain the last setting that you had set or does it go to the default setting when you turn the system off?

It saves everything, even when you turn the power off. Not sure how long it will save it, if its a battery or if its a memory. 
It can be set up with a schedule, which can be set up on the app or on the thermostat itself.

Nice job on the reconstruction.

Thanks Hank, on both counts.
