It does work the problem is it only has a second stage swing temp setting and it has a option to set a cycle which turns th pellet stove on at set increments for cycling for a few seconds so I sold this model and my options now are a tx 500e a tx1500e or a tx9100e please tell me which to buy thanks Sean

They do have the non"a" version at Lowe's of the lux txt1500u. Just ask to open the package at customer service before purchasing it to check the model number on the unit.
