What is an event?
An event is a programming period. This could be the period in the morning when you are preparing for work or school. It could be the
period when no one is at home. It could be the period when the household is asleep at night.
The time for an event is selected based on when you want the event to occur. For example, if you wake up at 6:30 AM, set the first
event for 6:30 AM. The thermostat will automatically make sure that your home is at the desired temperature selected for that event
by the time you wake.
This thermostat can be selected for 2, 4, or 6 events.
Two events should be selected if someone is home all day thereby requiring a constant temperature during the day and a different
temperature at night.
Four events are the most common for working households. Event 1 (WAKE) is the morning period. Event 2 (DAY) is when everybody
has left for school or work. Event 3 (EVE) is the return period, coming home from school or work. Event 4 (NIGHT) is the night period
when everybody is asleep.
Six events can be used especially when there is activity during the day. Event 1 (WAKE) is the morning period. Event 2 (MORN) is
when everybody has left for school or work. Event 3 (NOON) is the lunch period, when the kids may be home for a break.
Event 4 (DAY) is the afternoon period when the house is empty. Event 5 (EVE) is the return period, coming home from school or
work. Event 6 (NIGHT) is the night period when everybody is asleep.
How do I know what program is right for me?
The thermostat is set up with the US EPA E NERGY S TAR® recommended times and temperatures for optimal energy savings. You can
change these to suit your lifestyle.
The best rule is to examine your schedule and set the times and temperatures that best fit. This thermostat is so versatile, you can
easily temporarily change temperatures or programs at a whim.
