Need Help Finding Replacement Thermostat

[mateck810]

Hello.
I have a Lennox G61 with a Surelight 49M5901 board. The furnace is a two stage heat with variable speed blower. The Lennox 81M2701 thermostat that is not working (display messed up and won't turn furnace off ever). I need a replacement, but it seems that all the thermostats I look at do not have the "D" contact that the 81M2701 has, which I think controls the variable speed blower. I'm not sure how important that all is. I do have A/C with this unit, but no hudmidifier or dehumidifier. I would love one of those cool looking color wifi thermostats, or even the ordinary looking Honeywell wifi one sold at Home Depot, but when I look at the installation instructions for them, they do not have a "D" contact. Even the fancy new Lennox Wi-Fi thermostat says it will only work with a couple of their furnaces, mine not being one of them.

Can someone suggest a thermostat for * I thought this would be simple! Merry Christmas to everyone.

Look at the Robertshaw 9801i2 Programmable.

Thanks for the suggestion. I see where it has the "D" terminal. I also have found that the IAQ Honeywell Prestege series has a contact that you can program to be "humidifier", which I guess is what the H is for, and apparantly what is needed for the variable speed blower communication. It's a lot more money then the Robertshaw, but looks like it has some cool "geek" factors that might entertain me! Thanks.

Remember to always turn off all power to the furnace while geeking around. As you know, ICs are very susceptible to minute static (sparks).
