Your Standard Thermostat Settings: Temperature SETPOINTS For many of our customers, the need for air conditioning may change throughout the day. By programming your thermostat SETPOINT, you can set different temperatures for different times. A “SETPOINT” is your preferred temperature for a particular time of day, according to your basic activity schedule.

Changing Your Schedule After you program the thermostat to follow a weekly schedule of SETPOINTS (Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep), the temperatures for each SETPOINT can be changed and the TIMES that they become active can be adjusted to your schedule. Depending on how the SETPOINTS are programmed, they can help save you energy.
Overriding Your SETPOINTS: TEMPORARY HOLD You can use the TEMPORARY HOLD feature any time you want to change the temperature setting without clearing your SETPOINT. • Press the ARROW button to select the desired target temperature. • Press the LEFT TAB button to accept the TEMPORARY HOLD.
Managing Energy Use During Peak Hours: Conservation Settings The Energate smart thermostat gives you choices on how to automate your electricity use in response to peak hour pricing—to maximize savings, comfort, or to strike a balance between these preferences. Based on what’s important to you, you can choose from one of five Conservation Settings, each of which responds differently to peak hours.
Blue and Red Lights: What They Mean The thermostat has a row of LED indicator lights right below the display screen. The blue and red lights indicate that it is a Conservation Day during peak hours.
• A user manual is included with the new thermostat. • To opt-out of Conservation Days, SMUD’s support staff is available on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., at 855-253-1824. • You can call GoodCents directly for thermostat support at 866-380-6052.
