I have a Honeywell 1 stage digital thermostat.(with batteries) I set in on 70 and room temp says 70 but it keeps clicking on and off and calling for heat it seems to be very sensitive. I thought with a thermostat its a one degree difference between the setting and the temperature .Is there anything on the market that is not digital Thanks

it's part of the features of a good design !
you can turn that feature off, it has nothing to do with the temperature, but that's the feature in Honywell, you really need to maintain a steady temperature !
it's called Cycle rate Per Hour or something like that, it's a variable number I CPH and it varies 1 to 12 .
Using a thermostat without this feature, will cause a bigger swing , depending on the recovery of your system.

digital t-stats can be more sensitive to drafts, like from the hole in the wall that has the wiring, or sunlight, lamps and cause cycling.
