Energy Button Operation
The Energy button is designed to be a quick, efficient energy-saving option. When you press the Energy
(leaf) button, INSTEON Thermostat will adjust the Heat and Cool setpoints by a specified value. The
default value is 4° from the current setting. The default value can be changed via software such as
HouseLinc.
•
When you exit Energy mode, it will revert back the 4° that was changed upon entry.
•
The unit remains in Energy mode until the Energy button is pressed again.
•
Up/Down arrows adjust the temperature setpoint based on the mode you are in.
From Off Mode:
•
Energy button does nothing because the
system is off (at maximum energy savings
already).
•
When “Energy” appears on the screen for
Auto, Cool and Heat Modes, the 4° setback
is engaged.
From Heat Mode:
•
Heat setback as specified.
•
Default setback is 4° less.
•
Notice that “Heating” is active on the left,
but not on the right since the setpoint is
lower that the actual temperature; the
element reads “Heat.”
From Cool Mode:
•
Cool setback as specified.
•
Default setback is 4° more.
From Auto Mode:
•
Both Heat and Cool setpoints changed as
specified.
•
Default setback is 4° more for Cooling and
4° less for Heating.
•
Notice that “Heating” is active on the left,
but not on the right since the setpoint is
lower that the actual temperature; the
element reads “Heat.”
