About INSTEON Thermostat

- Confirm your existing system does not have a heat pump

- Confirm your system has 4 or 5 wires (if 4 wires, you’ll need an “add-a-wire” adapter)

- Installation should only be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or a homeowner who is familiar and
comfortable with electrical circuitry. If you have questions, consult an HVAC Technician or call the INSTEON
Support Line at 800-762-7845.

- Tools needed: flathead screwdriver and wire cutter/stripper

- Add zone control to the system by adding INSTEON Wireless Thermostats

Make INSTEON Thermostat an INSTEON Controller

INSTEON Thermostat can control other INSTEON devices or trigger software events when there is a change. The
following INSTEON Thermostat changes can be set up as a controller:

 Group 1 - Cooling mode change (scene control)
 Group 2 - Heating mode change (scene control)
 Group 3 - Humidification, high humidity setpoint (scene control)
 Group 4 - Dehumidification, low humidity setpoint (scene control)

1) Press and hold INSTEON Thermostat set button until it beeps.

LED will start blinking green.

2) Tap Up and Down button to add to a Scene to Group 1 through 4 (default setting = Cooling mode, Group 1)

3) Adjust scene responder to the state you want when scene is activated from INSTEON Thermostat (e.g., 50%,

25% or even off).

4) Press and hold responder Set button until unit double-beeps and/or LED flashes.

INSTEON Thermostat will double-beep and its LED will stop blinking.

5) Test by tapping INSTEON Thermostat mode button to chosen scene (i.e. Heat or Cool mode).

Each time mode selected in step 2 becomes active, responder will turn on (or off).

Make INSTEON Thermostat an INSTEON Responder

1)

Set INSTEON Thermostat to desired state (mode, setpoint, fan state and energy button state).

2) Press and hold controller set button until it beeps (or LED flashes).

Controller LED will start blinking.

3) Press and hold INSTEON Thermostat set button until it beeps.

INSTEON Thermostat will double-beep.

If you wish INSTEON Thermostat to also respond to an off command (e.g. control from a toggle button).

1) Set INSTEON Thermostat to desired state.

2) Press and hold controller Set button until it beeps (or LED flashes).

Controller LED will start blinking.

3) Press and hold INSTEON Thermostat Set button and Down Arrow until it beeps.

INSTEON Thermostat will double-beep.
