Press OK to revert the fan mode back to  
the weekly schedule fan and temperature  
settings.  
Minimum “On”Time Sets a minimum amount

Recovery Options  
Recovery options allow the Smart Si thermostat  
to learn how your heating and cooling system  
works, taking into account infrastructure,  
weather and historical operating performance  
so that your home is a comfortable temperature  
as soon as you walk in the door.  
Smart Recovery Heat The Smart Si  
thermostat will start heating at the optimum  
time to ensure the set point is reached at the  
programmed time.  
Smart Recovery Cool The Smart Si  
thermostat will start cooling at the optimum  
time to ensure the set point is reached at the  
programmed time.  
Random Start Heat Programming a time  
in this section will produce a random delay

multiple heating systems, this prevents all  
the systems from activating at the same time  
(
thus creating a peak power demand). Press ▲  
or to select a delay time and then press OK.  
Random Start Cool Programming a time  
in this section will produce a random delay

Utility CPP Setting  
This section is only applicable if your utility  
company is running a Critical Peak Pricing  
program that you have agreed to be a part of.  
Contact your local electrical utility company for  
information about programs in your area.

1
CPP Response  
Your utility may send voluntary events to your  
Smart Si thermostat. You can choose to Always  
Accept these events. In which case, you would  
just be notified that an event is in progress. Or  
if you choose Ask Me, when the Utility issues  
an event, you will be asked if you want to  
participate.  
If you do not acknowledge the event prior to the  
start, the system will default to yes.  
Preferred Strategy  
During a Critical Peak Pricing event the Utility  
may select an energy saving strategy, or allow  
you to use your preferred strategy. Select from  
one of the options as your preferred energy  
saving strategy to be used during Critical Peal  
Pricing events.  
Absolute Temperature Set a specific heat  
and cool set point to be used when an event  
is initiated by the Utility company. If the  
set point at the time of the event is more  
favorable (lower in heat mode or higher in  
cool mode) than what you have programmed,  
the Smart Si thermostat will use the more  
favorable set point for the duration of the  
event.  
Relative Temperature Program a  
temperature set back (heat) or set forward  
(
cool) from your existing set point. For  
example, if you program a 4 °F set forward,  
and your current cool set point is 76 °F,  
during an event your Smart Si thermostat set  
point will change to 80 °F until the event has  
expired.  
22  
System Off If this option is selected, the  
Smart Si thermostat will turn off heating and  
cooling for the duration of this event.  
Duty Cycle This option allows you to  
program the maximum amount of time the  
system will run during a 1 hour period. For  
example, if you select 30%, the air conditioner  
will run for a maximum of 18 (0.3 x 60)  
minutes regardless of whether the set point  
has been met. 0% essentially turns the system  
off, whereas 100% runs the system at full  
capacity.

Creating Your Weekly Schedule

energy used by the air conditioning system, and  
down in the winter, to reduce heating energy.  
From the Home screen,

Work This represents when you leave to go  
to work.  
Home This represents when you get home  
from work in the evening.  
Sleep This represents is when you go to bed  
at night.

equipment perform. Intelligent algorithms  
combine weather data, your HVAC equipment  
run times and occupancy schedules to optimize  
performance and maximize energy savings. This  
means you can be comfortable when you are  
home and save money when you are not.
