II. Introduction

Comfort Window is the next generation in smart
thermostat design. With innovative energy
efficient technology, Comfort Window saves in
electricity costs; and with a full color touch­screen LCD, Comfort Window presents a
modern and elegant look to fit in with any décor.

Comfort Window not only controls temperature,
it also controls humidity. With ComfortWindow
technology, users can see at a glance whether
their home is within their own personalized
window of comfort, taking into account humidity.
Comfort Window can also cool or heat their
home even further into their window of comfort
for free by utilizing outdoor air to cool or heat the
home when it is possible to do so. Not only
does this create a more comfortable
environment, it also lowers total compressor run­time significantly, thus reducing electric bills and
lowering the home's total carbon footprint.

III. Quickstart Guide

1. Record current wiring colors/functions

► In order to properly connect wires from a pre-

existing thermostat to Comfort Window's screw

terminals, it is important to know what color

wires were connected to what functions on your

existing thermostat. If the wiring colors are not

easily distinguishable, label each wire with its

current function.

► While there are some industry-wide coloring

conventions, some thermostat makers do not

follow these conventions; it is also possible that

whoever installed any previous wiring may not

have followed these conventions.

*Caution! It is very important to be careful

hole in the wall.

► Using the provided screws and drywall anchors,

mount the wall-plate to the wall.

► Adjust the angle of the wall-plate utilizing the

slack given in each of the holes for each screw.

3. Connect thermostat wire to wall-plate

► For single compressor, single heater

installations (non-Heat Pump), wire the

thermostat as shown in Figure 3, according to

Chart 1. For any other HVAC configuration,

please refer to the Wiring Guide (Section 5).

► If a ground wire has not already been pulled to

the thermostat's location, first see if there are

any unused thermostat wires that you can use

for Common (C). Otherwise, it will be necessary

to run an 18 GUAGE ONLY wire down the wall

and feed it through the hole to the wall-plate.

2. Turn off Electricity & Install Wall-plate

► ALWAYS turn off electricity to the HVAC system

at the breaker box before connecting wiring and

before connecting thermostat to the baseplate.

record the previous configuration (both color and
function) so the correct wire can be connected to the
appropriate location on Comfort Window's wall-plate.

rather than the red, yellow, and black wires that
may be in the wall already for thermostat
control. Connecting the red, black or yellow
thermostat wire to pins 16, 17, or 19 can
permanently damage the thermostat and/or
remote temperature sensor.

*Caution! Only AFTER connecting

reconnect electricity to the HVAC system and
thermostat.

4. Install Remote Indoor Sensor

► First, you must install the remote indoor sensor.

Drill a 3/16th inch hole ~5 inches below the

thermostat. Feed the stripped end of the indoor

temperature sensor wire through the hole,

angling upwards, and fish the wires out of the

hole in the wall-plate*. Or, route the remote

indoor sensor to the location in the house you

wish to measure temperature. Connect sensor

wires to wallplate according to Chart 2 and

Figure 3.

*Note: If you are unable to fish the indoor
sensor wire out of the hole in the wall under the
wall-plate, connect the sensor wires to the wall­plate and simply drop the remote sensor into
the wall cavity to measure your home's internal
temperature.

5. Install Thermostat onto Wall-plate

► Slide thermostat through the keyed slots on

each side of the wall-plate, mating the pins with

the receptors until it rests flush with the wall *

remote temperature sensor. Only AFTER

thermostat is connected should you re­connect electricity to the HVAC system &
thermostat.

program entries scheduled to run. Also, it is
recommended to maintain the Relative
Humidity settings between 20% and 55% RH to
reduce potential for mold or mildew growth.

7. Configure Thermostat Program

► Touch the calendar icon in the icon menu bar at

the bottom of the home screen. You may need

to scroll over to see all of the available icons by

using the arrows to the sides of the icons.

► A sample program schedule for a typical work

week will be loaded by default. If you wish to

start from a different starting point, load a

different sample program schedule using the

internet controls online or on your smartphone.

► Add as many or as few entries into the program

as you desire* by touching the Add button on

the calendar home screen. To edit any entry,

Figure 8: Configuring Program Schedule

first select the entry in the calendar, and then

edit by touching the Edit button. In the screen

that appears, specify the start and end times,

the high and low temperature settings, and

which days for which the setting applies.

*Note: With the Comfort Window, there is no
need to ensure that all of the program settings
align end to end as is necessary with other
programmable thermostats. Whenever a
program setting expires, Comfort Window will
automatically revert the temperature and
humidity settings back to your personalized
ComfortWindow settings. If you desire to have
the program control the settings at all times
without reverting back to the ComfortWindow

settings, simply create as many or as few
settings for each day as you would like and
align the settings so that they do align end to
end. Also note that it is typical to only have 3-4
entries total since each entry can be associated
with multiple days. This makes it very easy to
set up a program schedule from scratch.

7. Override

► If you desire to temporarily override the

thermostat's temperature setting, simply touch

the up or down arrow on the home screen. In

the screen that appears, set the temperature to

the desired level. Specify the duration of the

override by adding or decrementing the override

time.

IV. Feature Description

Comfort Window provides true comfort control,
saves electricity costs, and gives you a
convenient and elegant user interface.

Figure 10: Home Screen

Comfort Control

Comfort Window builds on the traditional
model of a programmable thermostat, adding
a crucial layer for comfort control. With
ComfortWindow technology, the Comfort
Window not only eases the programming
difficulties of most programmable thermostats,
it also provides baseline comfort settings used
when there are no program entries set to run.
Additionally, with humidity/ temperature
compensation, you won't feel clammy or
sweaty when your thermostat is supposedly
within the appropriate temperature range, but
instead Comfort Window will compensate the
temperature to accommodate what humidity
levels are in your home. As such, users will
feel less variation in comfort when they set
their thermostat to any given value.

To help you
visualize how the
temperature and
humidity levels in
your home
correspond to your
personalized
comfort settings,
Comfort
Window also

Figure 11: ComfortWindow

provides a quick
way to view
your home's current conditions. The
ComfortWindow technology on the home
screen will show the current conditions in
graphical format, with temperature on the
vertical axis and humidity on the horizontal
axis. As long as the dot is within the window
on your home screen, you can know that your
home is within your personal window of
comfort. ComfortWindow technology not only
provides a quick and easy way to view if your
home is within your window of comfort, it also
provides a way to make sure your thermostat
is doing its job to save you money for times
when the current condition point should be
outside of your ComfortWindow settings (ie:
during a program entry).

To change your ComfortWindow settings,
simply touch the ComfortWindow quickview
graph or go into the settings and touch
Comfort Window Settings.

Comfort Window does the hard work for you
by calculating things like heat enthalpy which
take into account the humidity within the air
rather than relying solely on a raw temperature
reading. This will enable you to concentrate
on more important things in life, rather than
being bothered by changing your thermostat
every time the humidity levels change within
your home.
