2About Foundation
Foundation is a home energy control device that combines fundamental home climate control and
energy consumption management. It provides two modes to allow you to control your home’s
temperature, and to manage your energy consumption and costs:
Use the Thermostat mode to program the temperatures settings according to your schedule.
Use the Energy mode to manage your home’s energy consumption, and your energy costs based
on utility price levels. You can choose to prioritize either cost savings or home comfort.

2.1 Operating Foundation
Foundation uses advanced climate control algorithms to control your central heating and cooling
systems. It also determines and displays how much electricity you are using and how much it costs.

but still shows the home screen information for the currently selected mode.

2.3 LED Indicators
Foundation has four light-emitting diodes (LED) that signal events from your utility. Each LED illuminates
for the duration of the corresponding event.
The blue light indicates that the thermostat has adjusted your temperature setting to save energy in
response to a utility event. 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 4.2 Utility Events.
Foundation User Guide

2.4 Thermostat and Energy Modes
Foundation operates in two modes: Thermostat mode and Energy mode.
2.4.1 Thermostat mode
The Thermostat mode provides climate control and comfort settings. You can adjust the temperature,
program a schedule, and change the thermostat and fan settings. Review and adjust your schedule
when the seasons change, or if you frequently make temporary overrides.
The Thermostat home screen provides direct access to the household climate control features.
For more information about the Thermostat home screen, see 3.1 Thermostat Home Screen.
2.4.2 Energy mode
The Energy mode provides consumption and utility rate information. Use this information to make
informed decisions about your home comfort and consumption settings. You can prioritize energy cost
savings based on utility price levels and your personal comfort requirements.
The Energy home screen provides at-a-glance consumption data and access to historic data and energy
consumption information to help you make informed decisions about your comfort and consumption
settings.
For more information about the Energy home screen, see 4.1 Energy Home Screen.
