Meh, it's Pop. It wouldn't be a day on BITOG if he didn't show up in a thread just to opine on how you're doing something wrong.

They support it in that if the thermostat can only tell the unit on/off and the unit is responsible for the van speed control, they support it. Which isn't really supporting it since most of the thermostat speed control is mfr-specific.
I've never had multi-speed blower, so this is just a curiosity question, but are there any generic programmable thermostats that support this type of fan control or are you basically locked into the HVAC unit manufacturer for a thermostat?
My home furnace has a variable speed fan and multi-stage heat. Basically, it looks at incoming air temp and how quickly it is changing and manipulates that in order to satisfy the thermostat.
My current home thermostat is just a cheap programmable Honeywell unit that has no fan speed control as part of it. The furnace itself looks after the heat level and fan. I've only ever had it step up once that I'm aware of, and that was on one of the coldest days of the year last year.
