Back to school HVAC checklist

It’s that time of year…leaves start to change, football season officially kicks off and kids head back to school. Inevitably our schedules become busier, and more time is spent away from home. We’re here with some simple tips to help you effortlessly manage your heating and cooling a little smarter to save you time and energy too!

Use the Scheduling Feature

Now is a perfect time to check in with your thermostat schedule. Home or Away, you can set your schedules to cool or heat whenever you prefer and keep your family comfortable while saving energy.

Use the new schedule projection bar on your thermostat detail screen to provide a better snapshot of your thermostat schedule of your upcoming scheduled setpoint changes. You’ll only see this below the current temperature if your programmed schedule is turned on. Tap directly on the temperatures to make changes to your daily schedule.

Lockout adjustments to the thermostat

Also, have kids home alone after school? Use the keypad lockout feature to avoid extreme temperature swings and thermostat tampering.

Set up your smart home assistants

Your Sensi is designed to work with the most popular smart home platforms including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Go to your Account Information screen in the Sensi app and click on “Smart Integrations”. You can then select your preferred smart home integration for set up. Also ensure your Sensi app is up-to-date to receive the latest feature launches and enhancements.
