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 go down in the winter,
to reduce energy used by the furnace.
Your Smart Thermostat is flexible – you can program four different time
periods per day, seven days a week. Each period is represented by a
unique icon. These icons can be found on various screens on the Smart
Thermostat as well as on your personalized web portal. They are:
Awake this represents the period when you are awake. The start
time of this period is typically when you get up in the morning.
Work this represents the period when you are at work and the home
is not occupied. The start time of this period is typically when you
leave to go to work.
Home this represents the period when you are home. The start
time of this period is typically when you get home from work in
the evening.
Sleep this represent the period when you are sleeping. The start time of
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 directly on the device itself or online through
your personalized web portal.
Your Smart Thermostat comes pre-programmed with EnergyStar
recommended settings. These settings can save you up to 20% on
your heating and cooling energy costs when compared to a non-
programmable thermostat.
If your preferences are different than the recommended settings,
you can easily adjust the time periods and temperatures of your
system. There are two ways to program the Smart Thermostat use
the Wizard that guides you through the steps OR use the more
advanced Editor feature.
