Energy / Price Events
Energy / Price Events are specific time intervals when your utility institutes higher energy prices, or
when your utility needs to reduce the load on the electricity grid. These events are referred to as:
• Energy Events
• Price Conservation Events
Energy Event
During an Energy Event, your utility sends a signal to the thermostat to indicate that the target
SETPOINT temperatures should be modified in order to reduce the energy use by your heating
and/or air conditioning systems.
In the Home screen the SETPOINT name is replaced by the name
of the Energy Event, which is ENERGY EVENT by default.
For each event, your utility will specify when the event will start and end, as well as either a desired
temperature, offset or duty cycle. An offset is the number of degrees above (in COOL mode) or
below (in HEAT mode) the current temperature setting programmed into the thermostat. If the utility
selects a desired duty cycle, it will be shown as a percentage rather than the desired temperature.
The event can also end if your utility cancels it.
