2.2 LED Indicators
Foundation has four light-emitting diodes (LED) that signal events from your electricity provider. Each
LED illuminates for the duration of the corresponding event.
The Blue LED indicates that an energy or price conservation event is in effect and has triggered the
thermostat to adjust the temperature.
As the price of electricity rises, the yellow, orange, and red lights illuminate in that order, to indicate
increasing prices.
For more information about utility events and the LED Indicators, see 4 Utility Events.
2.3 Thermostat Display
The Thermostat display provides direct access to the household climate control features.
The outdoor temperature is not displayed if an outdoor temperature sensor is not installed. For
more information, see 7 Optional Accessories.
If the time is not displayed, set it using user options. For information, see 0
Changing User Options.
Link status:
oIndicates that the communications link to the electricity provider's server is
