3. Step-by-step guide to programming your smart thermostat

3.1. Selecting the schedule

To begin programming your smart thermostat, you'll need to select the schedule option. This will allow you to create a customized schedule for each day of the week. Simply touch the schedule button on your smart thermostat to proceed.

3.2. Creating a schedule for weekdays

For most people, weekdays follow a similar routine. To make things easy, we will start by creating a schedule for Monday through Friday. Each day is represented by a box on the screen. Start by touching each box to put a checkmark in them, indicating that you want to include these days in your schedule.

3.3. Adjusting times and temperatures

Now that you have selected the weekdays, it's time to adjust the times and temperatures for each set point. Your smart thermostat offers four set points: wake, leave, return, and sleep. Let's start with the wake set point.

3.4. Creating a schedule for weekends

Weekends often have different routines compared to weekdays. To program your weekend settings, follow the same steps we used for creating a schedule for weekdays.

3.5. Programming the leave setting

The leave set point is crucial for saving energy and money. When no one is home, it is recommended to adjust the heating temperature to drop by 3 to 5 degrees and increase the cooling temperature by 3 to 5 degrees. Let's program the leave set point together.

3.6. Programming the return setting

When you return home from work, you want to ensure that your home is comfortable and welcoming. Let's program the return set point to activate when you typically arrive home.

3.7. Programming the sleep setting

During sleep, you can afford to adjust the temperature to save energy. Let's program the sleep set point to ensure a comfortable sleeping environment while maximizing energy efficiency.

3.8. Using the override option

Sometimes, you might want to temporarily adjust the temperature outside of your scheduled settings. Your smart thermostat offers an override option that allows you to do just that. We'll show you how to use this feature to further customize your home's temperature.

4. Conclusion
