Powerley Thermostat
Installation & Operation Guide

After a quick installation, your new Powerley Thermostat will allow you
to monitor and control your HVAC system from anywhere in the world.
The average homeowner spends up to 50% of their energy costs on
HVAC use. With the Powerley Thermostat, you'll have a great opportunity
to reduce those costs by intelligently managing temperature setpoints.
To take full advantage of features such as setpoint scheduling, use the
companion app on your iOS or Android device to connect your Powerley
Thermostat to your Energy Bridge.
It is recommended to hire a professional HVAC installer. However, if you
do opt to install on your own, we'll guide you along the entire process.
Let's get started!
Welcome!

Installation
1. Important! Shut off power to HVAC system
Put your existing thermostat in Off mode, then shut off power to your HVAC system
either at the circuit breaker or the system switch.
2. Take a picture of wiring for existing thermostat before removing it
Remove the front of your existing thermostat and take a picture of the wire
configuration. This will be your guide when installing your new thermostat. If
any wires are the same color, be sure to mark them with tape to identify them.
CAUTION: Shut off main power to protect yourself and your equipment!

Powerley Thermostat Installation & Operation Guide 16
Installation Location
This thermostat is for indoor use only. It should be mounted on an inner wall about 5ft
(1.5m) above the floor at a position where it is readily affected by changes of the general
room temperature with freely circulating air. Avoid mounting above or near hot surfaces
or equipment (e.g. TV, heater, refrigerator). Avoid mounting where it will be exposed to
direct sunshine, drafts, or in a laundry room or other enclosed space. Do not expose this
unit to dripping or splashing liquids.

3. Check Compatibility
Before continuing to Step 4, check your HVAC system compatibility on page 12. Once
you're sure your system is compatible, remove the existing thermostat from the wall.
4. Mount Wallplate
To separate the wallplate from the thermostat front, grasp the sides of the front while
holding the opening in wallplate and pull apart.
Mount the wallplate using the screws and anchors provided. If necessary, drill a 1/4-in
hole for drywall or 5/32-in hole for plaster.
NOTE: Make sure the arrows on the wallplate are facing up.

Powerley Thermostat Installation & Operation Guide 6
5. Connect Wires (Conventional System)
A conventional one-stage system usually has 4-5 wires, while a conventional multi-stage
system has 6-7 wires. Use the picture you took in Step 2 to determine which color wire
goes to which terminal. Refer to the wiring guide on the next page to confirm your
wiring configuration.
Loosen the screw by turning it counterclockwise and insert the wire on inside edge
of the terminal block. Tighten the screw by turning clockwise to secure the wire in its
terminal. Repeat for remaining wires.
If you have a heat pump system, refer to its user manual for correct wire configuration.
See pg. 8 for the heat pump jumper configuration guide. You should configure the heat
pump jumper prior to providing power to your Thermostat.
NOTE: Do not remove the metal jumper between terminal blocks RH and RC unless you
have both RH and RC wires connected.

Caution!
• Do not modify the unit in any way: Risk of fire, electrical shock, or burns if modified.
• Do not dispose of electrical appliances and unsorted municipal waste, use separate
collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the
collection systems available.
• There are no user serviceable parts in this unit.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
• Installation by a trained HVAC Technician is recommended.
• Read all enclosed instructions thoroughly before installing your new thermostat.
• Give special attention to all warnings, notes and installation steps to minimize risk of
damaging the thermostat or the HVAC system.
• Label all wires before disconnecting. Taking a picture is also recommended in case
the old thermostat must be re-installed.
• Switch off power to your HVAC system either at the circuit breaker or the system
switch before installing.
Battery Safety
• Use new batteries, per the specification sheet.
• Never mix old and new batteries.
• Prevent leaking by removing dead batteries when notified.
• Recycle and save the environment.

Powerley Thermostat Installation & Operation Guide 14
Wireless Information
This device has an open-air line-of-sight transmission distance of 132 feet (40m) which
complies with Z-Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on the amount of
objects in between Z-Wave devices such as walls and furniture.
This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified
devices from other manufacturers. All non-battery operated nodes within the network
will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.
Radio Frequency Limitations:
1. Each wall or object (i.e.: refrigerator, bookshelf, large TV, etc) can reduce the
maximum range of 65 feet (20m) by up to 20 to 30%.
2. Plasterboard and wooden walls block less radio signal than concrete, brick or tile
walls which will have more of an effect on signal strength.
3. Wall mounted Z-Wave devices will also suffer range loss when housed in metal
junction boxes and could reduce the range by up to 20-30%.
Maintenance
• Do not expose your unit to dust, strong sunlight, humidity, high temperatures or
mechanical shock.
• Do not use old and new batteries together as old batteries tend to leak.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleansers on your unit.
• Use a water wet cloth to clean the soft plastic surface.
• Keep the unit dust free by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble the unit.

Setup Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing issues with connectivity and/or controlling the thermostat
from the app, it may be necessary to exclude and re-include the thermostat to your
Z-Wave network. If these issues persist, factory reset the thermostat and retry the
inclusion process.
Z-Wave Exclusion Process
To exclude your Thermostat, press and hold Mode for 5 seconds to initiate Z-Wave
exclusion process.
• DELETE will scroll across the thermostat display once in exclusion mode.
• To cancel the exclusion process, press Mode.
• To complete exclusion press either of the up/down arrows.
• SUCCESS will scroll across the thermostat display once excluded.
NOTE: Excluding the thermostat will restore it to the default state for Z-Wave and
temperature set points.
Factory Reset
Please use Factory Reset only when the network primary controller is missing or
otherwise inoperable. To reset to factory defaults, turn the thermostat off by pressing
Mode repeatedly until OFF scrolls across the display, then press and hold the down and
up Setpoint arrows at the same time for 5 sec. If successful, RESET will scroll across the
display and the device will be restored to its default settings.
NOTE: If a reset to factory default settings is performed, all settings including Z-Wave
configuration parameter values and temperature setpoints will return to default values:
Heat: 68 Cool: 78 Measure: Fahrenheit Swing: +/- 1 Multi-stage temp differential: 3
System Type: 2-stage conventional heating & cooling
