What it controls
The Mroinge M701 Non-Programmable Thermostat is a non-programmable. Its listing doesn't spell out which heating and cooling systems it supports, so run the maker's compatibility checker before you buy.
Check your wall for a C terminal: the listing doesn't say whether it needs a C wire. The C wire guide covers adapters.
The maker rules out heat pumps ("Does Not Work with Heat Pump Systems, Does Not Work Aux heating and Emergency heating, Doe"), so it suits furnaces, boilers and air conditioning, not heat pump systems.
Stages, per the maker: 1 heat/ 1 cool. A second-stage wire (W2 or Y2) at your old thermostat needs matching support here. Single- and two-stage systems.
Schedule: Non-Programmable. Program sleep and away setbacks once and it runs them every week.
Power, per the listing: AAA batteries. Battery models often fit old two-wire circuits with no C wire.
Not sure of your wiring? The wiring checker reads your system from the terminal letters and checks it against this model's statements.
Also on the listing: dimensions of 0.99 in (D) x 4.92 in (W) x 3.74 in (H), a weight of 5.76 ounces and a lcd.
Warranty, per the listing: 2-year warranty.
