Auxiliary Heat Run-Time Alert
(optional)
If you have a heat pump with auxiliary heat configuration,
you can program the Smart Thermostat to generate
an alert if the auxiliary heat runs for more than this
programmed amount of time during a 24-hour period.
Auxiliary Outdoor Temperature Alert
(optional)
If you have a heat pump with auxiliary heat configuration,
you can also program the Smart Thermostat to generate
an alert if the auxiliary heat is called for when the
outdoor temperature exceeds this programmed set
point. (This feature requires an Internet connection to
function properly.)

Programming your Smart Thermostat
Your heating and cooling needs change depending on
the time of day, and day of the week.
For example, if there’s no one in the house during the
workday you might want to let the temperature go up in
the summer, to reduce energy used by the air conditioning
system, and down in the winter, to reduce heating energy.
Your Smart Thermostat is flexible – you can program four
or more different time periods per day, seven days a week.
Each period is represented by a unique icon. These icons
are found on various screens on the Smart Thermostat, as
well as on your personalized web portal. They are:
Awake
The start time of this period is typically when you get up
in the morning.
Work
This is usually when you leave to go to work.
Home
This is when you get home from work in the evening.
Sleep
This period is when you go to bed at night.
We call it a Smart Thermostat because it learns how your
home and heating and cooling equipment perform.
This means you can be sure that your home is at the
temperature you want, when you want it, without
wasting energy.
When your schedule changes, you can quickly and easily
update the thermostat settings on the device itself
or online through your personalized web portal. To
further accommodate your comfort and schedule you
can add extra program periods (refer to page 20 on
Using the Editor for details).
There are two ways to program the Smart Thermostat:
Use the Wizard guide you through the steps OR use the
more advanced Editor feature.
