Getting the Most from the ElitePRO™ Series Thermostats


Multiple programming options that fit your lifestyle:

  1. Location-Based scheduling (Auto Away)– The thermostat uses your smartphone’s location to know when you’re away, and saves you energy. Through geofence technology, it senses your return and helps make you comfortable upon arrival. You can always manually change your preset Home and Away temperature either on the thermostat or on the First Alert app.

  2. Smart scheduling – Use a combination of geofencing and time scheduling to fit your busy, active lifestyle.

  3. Time-Based scheduling – Program your thermostat for one week; each day (each day is a different schedule); Mon-Fri, Sat, Sun; or Mon-Fri, Sat-Sun. All days with four adjustable periods per day.

Smart Alerts. Push notifications remind you of filter changes and warn you of extreme indoor temperatures.

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery. Learns your heating and cooling system to deliver the optimal temperature at the right time.

Auto Change From Heat to Cool. Automatically determine if your home needs heating or cooling to provide maximum comfort.

Watch this video for step-by-step instructions on using the Priority feature.


Selecting Sensors

The temperature reading displayed on the home screen is from the sensor or sensors that are being used for temperature control. You can change which sensors are being used for control by selecting menu-priority. From the home screen, touch Menu icon at the bottom left of the display and select Priority.


Priority Screen

Selected Rooms

When set to “Selected rooms” you may select one or more rooms to read the wireless indoor sensor information from. When multiple sensors are selected, the temperature is averaged.

Active Rooms

When set to “Active rooms” the thermostat controls temperature based on the reading from the thermostat and/or indoor sensors that detect motion.


IAQ Reminders

You can set up IAQ reminders in the thermostat to remind users when filters, pads, bulbs, etc. need cleaning or replacement. The available reminders vary based on the ISU settings. For example, if the thermostat is configured to control a flow through humidifier, it will have the humidifier pad reminder but not the humidifier tank reminder.

See IAQ Reminders for more information.


Idle Screen

The ElitePRO™ Series Thermostat allows you to select the screen color and appearance. Select Menu > Preferences > Display > Idle Screen.

Some of the Idle Screen options are as follows:


Screen Brightness

There are two settings that can be used by customers who do not want the thermostat display to illuminate a dark room at night: "Auto Brightness" and "Active Brightness".


Fallback Room (S1000, S1100, or S1200 with wireless sensors)

Under the preferences menu you can select which Room(s) are used if either:

  • The thermostat is set for active rooms and none of the sensors detect activity.

  • The selected sensors (active rooms or selected rooms) lose communication to thermostat (sensor failure, dead batteries, etc.)

If the fallback sensor is also not communicating, the thermostat sensor will be used unless the installer had selected “NEVER USE THERMOSTAT”.

If you select Fallback Room then Options, you can select Never use thermostat. This would be done if the thermostat was mounted in a utility room or other location that is not sensing the space temperature in an area it is controlling.
