Dormant screen 
The dormant screen is displayed when not interacting with the thermostat.  
 
The banner scrolls through date and time, humidity, outdoor air temperature, if configured, and any active faults 
or system events. The room temperature is prominently displayed. 
There are no buttons on this screen, but the 13 touch locations are active, so when the display is touched, the 
thermostat transitions to the LOCK screen, if lockout is enabled, or the home screen, if lockout is disabled.  
 
 
 
Home screen 
You interact with the thermostat primarily from the Home screen.  
 
The center portion of the screen displays the current space temperature in whole degrees. The default 
temperature scale is °F, but can be changed to °C in the Installer settings (page 28). 
The top of the screen displays a banner that cycles system information every 3 seconds. To see the scrolling 
messages faster than 3 seconds, press the banner area of the screen to advance to the next message. 
The   icon indicates the current Wi-Fi signal strength by the number of bars. A strong signal has 3 arched bars. 
 indicates the thermostat is not connected to a router. 
Above the space temperature, the current state of occupied or unoccupied displays, unless you have temporarily 
overridden the program schedule settings. When overridden, the banner displays PAUSED and shows the time 
remaining in the override.
