      Mode

      Heat: The system will heat your home to the selected setpoint if the temperature falls below the setpoint.
      Cool: The system will cool your home to the selected setpoint if the temperature rises above the setpoint.
      Auto: The system will switch between heat and cool modes to keep your home's temperature between the selected range. The heat and cool setpoints must be at least 3 degrees apart. 
      Magic: Like Auto mode, the system will switch between heat and cool keep your home's temperature at the selected setpoint. But instead of selecting two setpoints (Heat and Cool) you only need to select one setpoint.

      System status

      Above the temperature setpoint, you'll see a system status indicating whether the system is heating, cooling, waiting, idle, or off. 

      • Heating: The system is actively heating your home
      • Cooling: The system is actively cooling your home
      • Wait: The system is switching between heating and cooling modes. Thermostats have a built-in wait time (2-5 minutes) when switching between modes to help decrease strain on the compressor.
      • Idle: The system is not off but is not actively heating or cooling your home.
      • Off: The system is off and will not heat or cool your home.
