19 Setting up your Smart Thermostat
Using the Program Wizard
The Smart Thermostat Wizard takes you through a
step-by-step process to set your Awake, Work, Home
and Sleep programs.
Note: If your Smart Thermostat is in Hold mode, you must
press Resume in order to get to the wizard.
The Smart Thermostat will not ask you what temperature
you want in your home during work hours. Instead, it
automatically sets this to minimize your energy consumption,
while ensuring the room temperature reaches the desired
temperature when you come home. If you prefer to set this
temperature manually, use the Editor feature.
If you want to change anything, you can either run the
Wizard again, or press Editor to make specific changes.
See Using the Editor on page 20.
If you aren’t connected to the Internet, you must ensure
the time and date are programmed. Refer to Personalizing
your Smart Thermostat on page 10 for details.
Note: Humidity levels are not included as a programmable
option, even if a humidifier or dehumidifier is installed and
controlled by the Smart Thermostat.

Using the Editor
The Editor is more advanced than the Wizard. It allows
you to set specific times, temperatures and furnace fan
settings for each day of the week.
Select the desired program period to adjust start times
or disable the period entirely.
Select a current Heat or Cool set temperature to adjust the
temperature or fan settings for that period. Any program
period changes will automatically apply to all the days in
that period and will be shown at the top of the screen.
If your system is enabled for auto change-over mode,
the heat and cool set temperature will automatically be
adjusted to ensure a minimum difference between the
heat and cool set temperatures.
In auto system mode, the fan setting will revert to whatever
is configured in the Details fan setting. Auto change-
over mode and the minimum temperature difference is
configurable in the installer setting.
To accommodate for your varying schedule you can add
additional program periods in your week. For example
if you come home for lunch during the week or want
different settings for the weekend, you would simply
add one of the existing periods at the allocated time
and day or create a completely new one.
