Switching System Mode
Press the “Mode” button to switch between all available system mode settings. When
the Mode is “Off” the thermostat will not bring on your heating or cooling systems.
Fan Mode
If you want to circulate the indoor blower, you can switch Fan to “On.” Turn the
Fan back to “Auto” when you want the thermostat to control your indoor blower
as necessary. Leaving the Fan in “On” will run your blower continuously.
Holding One Temperature
If you want to hold one temperature, turn Schedule “Off.” Then, adjust the
set point using the up and down arrow buttons. The thermostat will hold
this temperature, in the set Mode, until you turn Schedule back “On” or until
you adjust the set point again using the up and down arrow buttons.
Temporary Hold
When your schedule is set to “On,” your Sensi thermostat controls your home based on
the time and temperature settings in the current schedule. To temporarily change your
temperature use the up and down arrows in the app or on the thermostat. Your Sensi
thermostat will display “Temporarily Set To” on the thermostat and will hold your new
temperature until the next scheduled set point with a minimum hold time of two hours.

EXAMPLE:
If you set the Circulating Fan to 50%, the fan will run 30 minutes every hour.
If any heat/cool cycles occur during the hour, their runtime
is subtracted from the overall fan run time.

Pressing “Menu” at the thermostat allows you to change a series of settings to customize the thermostat
for your specific system. Refer to the chart below for a complete listing of thermostat configurations
and what they stand for. If you are installing the thermostat on the wall for the first time, we highly
recommend that you download the Sensi app and follow the installation instructions.

See below for definitions of the wiring terminals on the sub-base of the thermostat.
Terminal outputs and wiring diagrams
* If the old thermostat has separate RC and RH wires coming out of the wall, clip the RC/
RH jumper on the back of the thermostat above the battery compartment.
**The common wire could be labeled “C” on your old thermostat, or it could be labeled “B”
or “X.” Please refer to the owner’s manual of your old thermostat for clarification.
Does Wire Color Correspond to the Thermostat
Terminals?
Wire color does not always correspond to the thermostat letters. A white wire may be attached to the “W” terminal
on the old thermostat, or it may be attached to a different terminal with a different letter. Be sure to take a photo
of the old thermostat that shows the wire colors and terminal letters before labeling and removing any wires.
