Note
: If the thermostat is shut off using the Fire Safety rule, it will not be turned back on automatically after the smoke, fire or CO alarm clears. The thermostat will need to be manually adjusted back to the desired mode.How do I change thermostat temperature swing settings?
The thermostat temperature swing is the number of degrees above (for cooling) and below (for heating) the target setpoint the HVAC system allows the temperature to fluctuate before cycling back on.
Example
: If the swing is set to three degrees, and the system is in Heat Mode with a setpoint of 24°C, the thermostat waits until the in-home temperature is 21°C before heating the home back to 24°C. This results in the thermostat running fewer but longer cycles, which is generally considered to be more energy-efficient than running frequent shorter cycles, as you would see with a swing of one degree or less.- Log in to the Alarm.com app.
- TapThermostats.
- Tap the gear icon.

How do I use a temperature sensor with the thermostat?
Select one or more Temperature Sensors to directly control your HVAC system when there’s no thermostat schedule set. The HVAC system monitors the average temperature reported by the selected sensors and keeps the average steady at the target temperature.
Example
: If the nighttime target temperature is 20°C, and all bedroom Temperature Sensors are selected, then the average of temperature across the bedrooms are maintained at 20°C. - Log in to the Alarm.com customer website.
- In theThermostatcard, clickSensors.

How to add Temperature Sensors to thermostat schedules
Make thermostat schedules even more precise by assigning one or more Temperature Sensors to the Temperature Presets.
Example
: Match the bedroom Temperature Sensor to the Sleep Preset, or the family room Temperature Sensor to the Home Preset. When you set up Temperature Sensors this way, the system can cool the right rooms in the house to the target temperature at the times they are in use.Did this article solve your problem?
