The EcoSmart Energy Management System The EcoSmart Energy Management System is designed to reduce HVAC energy consumption without interfering with an occupant’s comfort. EcoSmart thermostats will automatically learn and adapt to the heating and cooling patterns of each room. For example, a room on the east side of a building will receive direct sunlight in the morning and will either need less HVAC heating or more HVAC cooling.

The Thermostat Status Screen shows all rooms and their status information at a glance.
EcoContact+ Explained The EcoContact+ uses a magnetic contact to detect occupancy. It recognizes when entry doors, patio doors and windows open and close. It then transmits this data to the thermostat, which is programmed to act accordingly, in the manner that has been defined by the property and configured for the room. The EcoContact+ requires an EcoCommander EGS 4.5 (not 4.0). Components The EcoContact+ consists of two components: a sensor and a magnet.
Anatomy of an EcoSense+ “Holes” in EcoContact+ Sensor Figure 1 Sensor "Holes" Targets When installed, the magnet “target” must be aligned with the sensor target. For example: The EcoContact+ sensor and the rectangle magnet each contains 2 targets (for additional placement options). Rectangular surface magnet and sensor each has 2 targets, for additional configuration options.

Word of Caution about In‐Door Mounting in Metal Doors/Frames If your door/window or frame is constructed of metal, do NOT install the EcoContact sensor in it. Metal will interfere with wireless signal. The magnet, however, CAN be installed in a metal door/window or frame. Component: Install in metal? Install in non-metal (e.g.
Step 5 Touch the sensor’s target to the magnet’s target. Release when you hear 3 single beeps (side target) or 3 double beeps (top target): Join/Bind Step 6 Join your EcoContact+ to the network and bind it with the thermostat. (See Device Association Guide for instructions.) Step 7 Continue with either In-Door Mounting Option (next) or On-Door Mounting Option (page 11). In‐Door Mounting Option Step 8 Connect sensor and carriage as shown here.
Step 12 Drop sensor with attached carriage into the door so that it is flush with the door edge. Step 13 Drill a 7/8” hole in the frame and insert the magnet, target side out, into the door frame. Reminder: components can be reversed if desired: magnet can be inserted in door/window and sensor can be inserted in frame (excludes door/window and frames of metal construction; see “Word of Caution” on page 9).
FAQ: Will these notches interfere with the mounting surface? A: No. When the adhesive strip is affixed, the notch will not interfere whatsoever. Step 7 Verify the magnet is facing the correct direction and is in line with the target on the EcoContact+. Step 8 Connect your thermostat to ESU. In ESU navigate to the Devices/Sensors tab. Verify that the EcoContact+ listed under the EcoInsight or EcoSource. (This means it is bound to the thermostat.
Maintenance EcoContact+ battery life is approximately 4 years. If your EcoContact+ is mounted in the door, extract the sensor from the door using the extractor (see Figure 5) to “hook” into the extractor hole (see Figure 1) and gently pull the sensor out of the door/frame.

Troubleshooting Problem: The EcoContact+ does not begin communicating with the network. Solution: 1. Ensure the battery is installed in the correct position. 2. Ensure the EcoContact is joined to the network before binding it to the thermostat. 3. When all else fails, issue a LEAVE command (12 consecutive recessed button presses) two or three times in a row and then attempt to rejoin it to the network (see Device Association Guide for joining instructions).
