Programming the Control4 Thermostat schedule

Use the System Design view to set a heating and cooling schedule for your Control4 Wireless Thermostat (model number: Control4-CCZ-T1-x for OS 2.0 and later). The Control4 Wireless Thermostat works with your heating and cooling system to maintain a consistent temperature called a ‘set point.’ Using the Control4 Wireless Thermostat, you can specify separate heating and cooling set points. 

Tip: New in OS 2.0 and later, you can set the heating and cooling schedule from a touch screen or on-screen Navigator. See the Control4 System User Guide for details. 

The Control4 Wireless Thermostat automatically engages the appropriate heating or cooling system until the room reaches the desired temperature. In Composer Pro, you can set up a Heat Point and a Cool point for six possible Program Events in a day time period. 

Program Events include:

  • Awake—Sets the wakeup time and related Heat/Cool Points.
  • Leave—Sets the away time and related Heat/Cool Points.
  • Return—Sets for return time and related Heat/Cool Points.
  • Sleep—Sets for sleep time and related Heat/Cool Points.
  • Custom 1—Sets a specified time and related Heat/Cool Points.
  • Custom 2—Sets a specified time and related Heat/Cool Points. 

You can enable these Program Events for weekdays, weekends, or individual days to match activity in the home.

Prerequisite

Ensure that the thermostat is installed as directed in the Control4 Wireless Thermostat Installation Guide available on the Dealer Portal.

To program the Wireless Thermostat schedule:

  1. In the System Design view, select the Control4 Wireless Thermostat object.
  1. The Properties appear in the center pane. Fahrenheit is selected by default; select Celsius as needed.
  1. In the Properties tab, select View/Edit Schedule. The Schedule dialog appears with the currently programmed schedule for Monday through Sunday. 

    2. Note: You can schedule the thermostat either in Composer Pro or in the Control4 touch screens, Control4 apps, or on-screen Navigators. See the Control4 Wireless Thermostat User Guide or the Control4 System User Guide for information about scheduling a Wireless Thermostat from a Navigator.

    Tip: To return to the original settings, click the Restore Default button.

  1. For each line item: Awake, Leave, Return, Sleep, Custom 1, and Custom 2, use the up and down arrows to set the day and temperature Heat and Cool set points.

    2. Notes: (1) You can view the schedule by selecting the 12 Hour Display or the 24 Hour Display. (2) The Cool and Heat Points stay two degrees apart. Example: If you set the Heat Point to 72 degrees, the lowest you can set the Cool Set Point is 74 degrees. This keeps your furnace and your air conditioner from competing with each other.

  1. When you are finished, click Ok. Your updated schedule displays. You may then set the modifiable properties. See “Using the Wireless Thermostat advanced properties.”
