Using Your Mobile Phone
Once you have setup your personalized web portal, you can also use most any mobile phone
that has web access to remotely access your thermostat and other web devices. To access
the mobile web portal, enter the following address in your mobile phone browser:

Occupancy Sensing
The BAYweb Thermostat can use various types of sensors (motion sensors being the most
common) which allow the thermostat to “know” when you are home (Occupied) or when you
are away (Not Occupied).
Occupancy sensors enable the Web Thermostat to operate as one of the most efficient
thermostat available today. Using occupancy sensors will save you the most amount of
money and simplify setting up your thermostat.
Using Occupancy Sensing allows you to only pay for heating or air conditioning to your
comfort level when you are there. Imagine running out to go shopping on a weekend and
being gone from your house for say 5 hours. Do you always turn your thermostat down when
you go shopping? Now your BAYweb Thermostat can do it for you.
Use of Occupancy Sensing simplifies setting up your thermostat’s schedule because all you
need to do is determine when you generally are asleep and when you generally wake up (if
you want your house heated before you wake). The remainder of the time you can tell the
thermostat to sense if you are there or not.
While “
Sensing
”, the thermostat will automatically set back the temperature to your “
Away”
set point after a period of time of not sensing occupancy. Likewise, upon sensing occupancy,
it will switch to your “
Home”
set point.
Scheduling a “
Sleep
” activity disables Occupancy Sensing to prevent switching to the Home
set point if you get up in the middle of the night and happen to pass a sensor.
Implementing Occupancy Sensing
To enable and use occupancy sensing you need to install one or more occupancy sensors
and configure the thermostat to use them on the web portal.
The thermostat can use wireless (X10 wireless protocol) or wired occupancy sensors. Bay
sells a low cost wireless occupancy sensor that is ready to use with the BAYweb Thermostat.
Just put in a couple of batteries and mount it in a location that typically sees activity when you
are home. You can use as many sensors as needed enabling the thermostat to monitor
multiple locations in your home for occupancy.
Wired occupancy sensors can use either normally open or closed contacts. Motion sensors
from most alarm systems are compatible with the BAYweb thermostat.
