About INSTEON Wireless Thermostat

INSTEON Wireless Thermostat is a wireless, battery-operated, one-day programmable, INSTEONcompatible thermostat. INSTEON Wireless Thermostat includes a humidity sensor and the ability to communicate via RF to other INSTEON devices, including INSTEON Thermostat.

INSTEON Wireless Thermostat is not directly wired to the HVAC (Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning) system. If you want to control the HVAC system with INSTEON Wireless Thermostat, you need to install at least one INSTEON Thermostat, then link INSTEON Wireless Thermostat as a wireless controller of INSTEON Thermostat.

INSTEON Wireless Thermostat may also be used as a standalone INSTEON controller of other INSTEON responders, activating scenes to turn on standalone heaters and fans based on room temperature status.

Expand your INSTEON thermostat system by creating extra temperature zones in your home with additional INSTEON Wireless Thermostats. Simply link each accessory INSTEON Wireless Thermostat to your main INSTEON Thermostat and primary INSTEON Wireless Thermostat.

• Reports changes in thermostat modes, temperature, humidity, setpoints and fan to compatible automation controllers or software

• Stores setup state in non-volatile memory so settings aren’t lost during battery changes or power outages

• Two-year warranty

• Battery features:

o Goes into battery-saving standby mode one minute after last button press o Wakes up every minute to get current local temp info, which remains displayed in

standby

o Low battery warning beeper o Broadcasts temperature or humidity changes to other connected devices

• When connected to always-on power supply:

1) Up/Down adjusts the temperature setpoint based on the current mode.

2) Mode allows the user to select the current operational mode of the HVAC system. It cycles between Off, Heat, Cool, Auto and Programmed Auto.

3) Energy button is a quick option that saves energy (and money). When pressed, it sets back the setpoint by a specified value. The default value is 4° from the current setting. To change the default offset value to be a value other than 4°, you must use software, such as HouseLinc.

4) Hold overrides a pre-programmed mode.

5) Fan cycles between Auto and Always On – no indication given for “Auto Fan.”

6) Master makes this device the master temperature controller. Pressing and holding “Master” does not alter any scene or screen settings. It just defines this INSTEON Wireless Thermostat as the master temperature controller.

7) Time/Sensor button allows you to set the date and time. It cycles between hour, minute and time format.

8) Program button allows you to setup the various pre-programmed user modes.

9) Set button adds and removes INSTEON Wireless Thermostat from scenes. It functions like the Set button on other INSTEON devices.
