TM
brand thermostats. It simply
plugs into the bottom of compatible thermostats and communicates via
INSTEON RF giving you wireless remote control and monitoring from
anywhere in your home, or the world.
The 3 compatible models are:
1-Day Programmable Venstar Thermostat (30410A)
7-Day Programmable Venstar Thermostat (30411A)
7-Day Programmable, Dual-Fuel Venstar Thermostat (30412A)
Note: To use the above mentioned thermostats, make sure your install
location’s wiring has 5 wires or check with a local installer.
Installation
1) Simply plug the INSTEON Thermostat Adapter into the jack on the bottom of your thermostat
Green LED will turn on
Un-Install
1) Open the front cover of the thermostat by gently pulling the right edge of the cover towards you
2) While pressing firmly on the small round button (center, bottom of thermostat) pull down gently on the INSTEON Thermostat Adapter
INSTEON Thermostat Adapter will disconnect from the thermostat
Adding your Thermostat Adapter to a Scene on an INSTEON Compatible Controller
For example, let’s say you would like to remotely control your thermostat to 73 degrees, heat mode from the comfort and convenience of your couch,
using the Scene A button on your RemoteLinc (If you want to use another INSTEON Compatible Controller, see its user manual)
Note: Linking your Adapter to a scene allows your thermostat to go to a chosen setting.
Here, you will link your Scene A button to “recall” both the setpoints and mode of the thermostat.
1) Tap the mode button on your thermostat until the mode indicated is heat
2) Tap the up and/or down arrows on your thermostat until the temperature set point is 73 degrees
3) Press & hold the top of the Scene A button on your RemoteLinc (for about 10 seconds) until it beeps
LED will start blinking (Press & hold for 10 seconds works for just about every INSTEON-compatible Controller;
please check the controller’s owner’s manual if you need help)
4) Press & hold the button on the INSTEON Thermostat Adapter (for about 5 seconds)
LCD display on your thermostat will briefly display all its characters, then return to normal
INSTEON Adapter’s LED will blink off faintly, then return to steady on
RemoteLinc will beep and its LED will stop blinking
5) Tap the mode button on your thermostat (this will temporarily change the operating mode to allow you to test your remote control)
Your thermostat’s mode will change to cool
6) Now to test your new link, tap the Scene A (up arrow) on your RemoteLinc
Your thermostat should return to heat mode with a 73-degree set point
7) Repeat steps 1 through 6 for as many scenes and setpoints on your INSTEON-Compatible Controller as you wish.
Note: Sending an Off command will not change the mode or setpoints of the thermostat. These commands are ignored to minimize unintended results.
Note: Different set points can be linked to different buttons should you need more flexibility.
