After installing the iDevices Thermostat, test your HVAC system using the steps below:
- Set your iDevices Thermostat to HEAT mode. Adjust the temperature set point above the ambient temperature in the room, and verify that the heat turns on.
- Set your iDevices Thermostat to COOL mode (if outside temperature is above 50°F). Adjust the temperature set point below the ambient temperature in the room, and verify that the cooling turns on.
- If your system has dual fuel sources (heat pump plus electric or fuel-fired emergency 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.
- If all of the available system modes function properly, the test is complete.
Note: After changing modes, there is a standard 5-7 minute delay before the Thermostat will call for heating or cooling to protect the compressor for air conditioners and heat pump systems. During this time, the setpoint on the Thermostat display will show in black. Once the delay has passed and the Thermostat calls for heating or cooling, the setpoint will show in red for heating or blue for cooling.
