Step 8: Connecting LUX/GEO 

You will need an iOS or Android device to set up your GEO.  If you have a different 

device, visit LUXGEO.com.  Set-up follows a series of screen prompts – have your GEO 

and mobile device ready.

8a. Getting ready to connect

You’ve downloaded the LUX 

Products App, created a 

user account and now,  

from your GEO, select
“yes” for WiFi setup

GEO will begin scanning – 

but you can move on to 8b.

Step 7: If you have not yet downloaded your LUX Products App, do so now

Step 5: Power on

 

ƒ

For methods #1 with C-wire and #2 with LUX 

Power Bridge: secure GEO front onto base

 

ƒ

For method #4 Battery Power: insert 2-AA 

Lithium batteries & secure GEO front onto 

base

 

ƒ

For method #3 USB power: 

place a flathead screwdriver 

against port cover from inside 

GEO along bottom side – twist 

& push out. Plug in Micro USB 

and insert into base.

Once GEO front has been 

secured to base (line up and 

firmly push), return power to

Step 6: Configure system settings

GEO will guide you through setup

Rotate the control wheel to navigate 

through options and values. To make a 

selection, press  ; to go back, press  .

GEO will prompt you to select:

1.  Whether heating and/or cooling are 

connected.

2. System type (only applies if you have heat). 

Note if you wired per section 4.1a or 4.3a you  

have a furnace. If you wired per section  

4.1b or 4.3b you have a heat pump. 

If furnace fan is not operating properly after 

installation, change from furnace:gas to 

furnace:electric in the settings menu.

3. The number of stages for heat/cool you have. 

Most common is 1 heat/1 cool. Not sure? refer 

to our online glossary to learn more.

4. If you have set more than 1 stage of heat or cool, 

the OFFSET setting adjusts the stage-2 cut in.
