4.0 Monitor Whole-Home Energy

Use When Connected to a Smart Meter

When the thermostat is connected to a smart meter, it will help you track your entire home’s energy use - not just the electricity being used by your heating and cooling equipment. And by giving you a detailed view of usage in real time, you can take action to increase your level of energy efficiency - preserving resources and saving money. In this section, you’ll learn how to set a monthly target for energy use and how to track your use against that target.

KEEP IN MIND:

To take advantage of the energy monitoring features, the thermostat must establish communication with your utility. In most instances this will mean that your home must be equipped with a ZigBee enabled smart meter. If you aren’t sure if you have this type of meter, contact your utility company.

If you have established a wireless connection with the meter but certain features listed below do not appear in the Energy menu, or you see an error message reading “data not available”, then chances are the meter doesn’t support the specific data set required for the feature.

4.1 Set Monthly Budget Target

The first step toward monitoring your energy use is to set a monthly budget target or cost threshold, that when met will generate an alert. Think about how much would you like to spend each month for electricity. Say, for example, your target is $100 per month. The thermostat is capable of monitoring your energy use and notifying you when you have exceeded this monthly threshold. To establish a monthly target, take these steps:

Set a monthly budget target start date:

Energy > More > Set Monthly Budget > Billing Cycle Start Date

From the START OF BILLING CYCLE

screen, use the arrows to identify the date of the month that you’d like a target cycle to begin. When your date is selected, press .
