91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.
The law states “all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity.”
Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol
Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of “Hot”… The gods are having a laugh lol
As a UXD who was a firmware dev for products (not thermostats, but similar things), in looking at this display, I’d bet money it’s not capable of showing numbers past 99. The layout doesn’t seem to allow space for more than a 2 digit temp reading.
The ‘heat’ and ‘fan’ indicators on either side of the temp reading are in a fixed location, so the temp display would max at 99. It’s highly plausible the real temperature exceeds that as you say.
Are you in the US? This situation feels like something OSHA would frown upon.
It is “hilarious” that you would mention that because I joked with the guys at work that I bet they bought a thermostat that isn’t capable of reading 100° lol
I’m in the US, and OSHA has only ever shown up once on a perfect 75° day and we apparently had notice ahead that they were coming.
There is definitely no space for a 2-segment to the right of “heat”. You can check by looking at it from a flat angle, you should be able to see all possible legends reflecting light off the LCD
I doubt they did that intentionally – i think many indoor thermostats don’t allow space past 99 (I just checked mine, and it doesn’t either), because that’s an unreasonable temperature for indoor spaces, and would be such an edge case that display space is more important from a design perspective.
The point is that’s an unreasonable temperature. Sorry they’re treating you like this. Makes me angry for you.
Also noticed it’s a Honeywell Home version. Most likely not “industrial” grade and would have no reason to show beyond 99.
