Do you mean the Active Home (aka Home Director)?
The time keeping function of those controller is very rudimentary but will work reasonably well if you UNPLUG the data cord from the controller when you're not programming it or controlling it directly from the computer.
Not sure I know what you mean by a unit with it's own display. For an upgraded programmable controller I'd recommend the Ocelot which costs about $150. See the following link:
