Before You Start 1. Read through this Installation Guide in its entirety before starting installation of your iDevices® Thermostat or removal of your old thermostat. Incorrect installation can be dangerous and can damage your iDevices® Thermostat and HVAC system. If you’re not comfortable performing the installation, contact a local HVAC contractor. 2. Turn the power to your HVAC system and old thermostat OFF! 3. Ensure you do not have electric baseboard heating.
Installation Overview 1. Turn the power to your HVAC system OFF! 2. Remove the faceplate of your old thermostat and photograph the existing wiring configuration. 3. Disconnect your old thermostat’s wall plate and secure the wires. 4. Mount your iDevices® Thermostat mounting plate and attach wires to match your system’s configuration. 5. Attach your iDevices® Thermostat to the mounting plate. 6. Turn the power back ON. 7. Download the free iDevices® Connected app. 8.
Abbreviations HVAC: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system HP: Heat Pump System. This type of HVAC system uses a compressor with a reversing valve to provide both heating and cooling capability. HE: Electrically heated central heating system. This system uses an electric heating element along with a fan and ducting. Sometimes used as AUX/Emergency heat with a heat pump system. Electric baseboard heaters are not included in this system type. HG: Fuel-fired central heating system.
Terminal Assignments For reference, standard wiring assignments for typical HVAC systems are provided below.
Installation Details 1. Gather the tools you will need and check that your iDevices® Thermostat came with the necessary components (see page 4). Warnings And Safety Information Do not select COOL mode if the outside temperature is below 50ºF (10ºC). This could damage the cooling system. 2. Test your existing system. Using your old thermostat, turn on the heating/cooling functions (if applicable) to verify everything is functioning normally. 3.

around a pen). Remove the mounting plate from the wall. 12. Line up the iDevices® Thermostat mounting plate on the wall in the desired location. Check that it is level and the wires are in a position to fit through the hole on the mounting plate. Use a pencil to mark anchor locations on the wall. 13. Set the mounting plate aside. Drill two holes (3/16” diameter) at the locations you have marked. 14.
16. Connect the wires to the mounting plate based on the information you gathered in the chart on pages 11-12, photos you took earlier and wiring configuration you noted for step 15. 17. To prevent electrical shorts and damage to your iDevices® Thermostat or home, ensure all of the wire connections are secure and there are no bare wires in contact with another. Insulate bare wires with electrical tape as necessary. Push any excess wire back into the wall cavity. 18.
Connected app on your mobile device. 2. From the iDevices® Connected app, add the Thermostat by tapping on the menu bar in the upper right-hand corner. 3. Follow the instructions in the app to complete the connection process. Configuring The Thermostat For Your HVAC System 1. Refer to Thermostat Settings for your system configuration, starting on page 8. 2. Press the button on your iDevices® Thermostat. 3. Use the buttons to scroll to ‘Setup’ and press the button to select. 4.

From here, you can edit the details of your iDevices® Thermostat, organize it into a ‘Room’ and ‘Zone’, set schedules and create ‘Scenes’. Warnings And Safety Information Do not short across terminals on the gas valve or at the heating or cooling system control board to test the thermostat installation. This could damage the thermostat and void the warranty.
heat), set your iDevices® Thermostat to EMERGENCY HEAT mode. Adjust the temperature set point above the ambient temperature in the room, and verify that the heat turns on. 4. Note: If you have a heat pump or air conditioner, the iDevices® Thermostat is designed to prevent damage to your compressor by waiting 5 minutes between restarts of your air conditioner or heat pump.
Wiring Configurations The following section provides the various wiring configurations compatible with the iDevices® Thermostat. Find the configuration that matches closely to your old thermostat and note which system type you have for later reference. Check your old thermostat to see if it has one or two Red/R wires. If you have one R wire, connect it to RH and leave the jumper in place.
