Advanced Z-Wave Settings
Select ADVANCED for advanced Z-Wave functions including unregistering your bridge from Trane Home or factory resetting your bridge. See the Advanced Z-Wave Settings section for more information.
Update Network
Select UPDATE NETWORK to update the network of your bridge. Updating the network can generate a lot of Z-Wave traffic over the network and can take up to 15 minutes to complete.

Learn
To add the bridge to an existing network, follow your primary controller's instructions to put the primary controller into Add Mode. Then select the Learn button on the bridge.
This function copies a new Z-Wave network to the bridge from another controller. This function is not allowed if your bridge is a primary controller with included Z-Wave devices.
Unregister
Removes the bridge from Trane Home. All remote control features will be disabled.
Factory Reset
Resets all Z-Wave information and removes all devices from the bridge. If this bridge is the primary controller for your network, resetting it will result in all the devices in your network being removed.
Following the reset, it will be necessary to remove and then add all of the devices back to your network.
Bridge Information
If this bridge is being used as a secondary or inclusion controller in the network, please reset this bridge only in the event that the primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Smart Optimization is enabled by default and will automatically execute approximately 18 hours after initial power up. Smart Optimization takes 90 minutes to complete and during the process, heating and cooling operations are disabled. The screen will indicate that the XL824 Control is in Smart Optimization mode.
To delay Smart Optimization for an additional 18 hours, touch the XL824 Control Screen and hold for five seconds.
To disable Smart Optimization altogether, navigate to Home > Menu > Smart Optimization and select Disabled and select Apply.

Automatic Software Updates
When the XL824 is connected to Trane Home, software updates will occur automatically and do not require user intervention.
NOTE:
Internet services are required for automatic software updates.
Energy Savings
When the XL824 is connected to Trane Home account, you may adjust the Energy Savings service to High, Medium, Low or Off within the mobile app.

Our patented software analyzes information from the XL824 to understand how your system performs. When combined with weather information, the service makes small temperature adjustments every day.
If you'd like to change the temperature, the service adapts every time a thermostat setting is changed and incorporates your adjustments to fine-tune the service, while ensuring your comfort.
Available Modes:
Off – No energy savings
Low – Minimum energy savings
Medium – Moderate energy savings
High – Maximum energy savings
NOTE:
Internet service and an active Trane Home account are required for the Energy Savings service.
