Operation and Settings
Active Display
1
System setup screens and detailed information display
2
Shows if the system is working in an energy-optimized mode. If the leaf is red, some
predefined settings have been changed. One touch to the leaf returns settings to
configured settings and reverts leaf color to green.
3
Room temperature
4
Manually select between “At home” and “Away”
5
Shows if the thermostat is operating per the schedule ( ) or manually ( ). Please
note:
●If there is Cloud connection and the scheduler has been programmed, the
thermostat will follow it. Any temporary change of the temperature setpoint is
effective only during the currently scheduled mode.
●If there is Cloud connection, but the schedule has not been programmed, the
thermostat follows the default schedule.
●If there is no Cloud connection, the thermostat will have no schedule and will be
operated manually.
6
Fan mode (AUTO/ON)
7
Temperature setpoint slider. Icon color changes as setpoint is changed:
●Slider changes to red when heating relay is energized.
●Slider changes to blue when cooling relay is energized.
●If system has reached setpoint and is idle, the slider color stays white.
