I have the thermostat blues. (1) What is that part called? (2) How can I fix it? (3) Can I replace it? It's held on just by sticky stuff and it keeps falling off. (hexbear.net)

I think the title says it all but if needed - I'll edit this. Of course I googled but I got nowhere. Google results were total shit. Google won't help me if I don't know the exact name for that fucking thing. It's a very stupid design choice. Five regular old push buttons would be so much better.

About an hour ago I managed to stick it back on but I'm nearly 100% sure it's going to fall off again in week or two if not far sooner.

Edit

I don't mean part of the unit itself. I mean just the thin plastic cover over the buttons that's ~3mm thick.

Id just replace the whole unit. Turn off the breaker power, use a touchless tester to verify it’s off, take pictures of the wires and where they’re connected, disconnect.

Edit: I’ve read Ecobee thermostats are good
