Connecting to a Home Wi-Fi Router
NOTE – NEVER USE A HOME GUEST ACCOUNT.
NOTE – NEVER USE A OPEN ROUTER CONNECTION (NON-SECURE).
NOTE – ALWAY USE A SECURE CONNECTION PHYSICALLY LOCATED IN THE HOME THAT THE THERMOSTAT IS BEING SETUP IN.
Check the router utility program or contact service provider for help.
When determining the location for the Wi-Fi thermostat, be sure it is in an area near enough to the home Wi-Fi router to ensure good communications signal strength between the thermostat and the Wi-Fi router. (Hint: Use a smart phone with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi finder application to locate and determine optimal location based on router Wi-Fi signal strength.) NOTE – Thermostat will not be able to reliably connect to a router if the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is -70 or greater. NOTE – Correct the cause of any alerts prior to continuing setup. Secure Connection Recommended! Verify the home Wi-Fi router supports at least one of the supports wireless bands (802.11b, g or n). Check router utility program or contact service provider for assistance.

There are two methods to setup your Wi-Fi connection. Select either NETWORK SETTINGS or connection status.
Method 1 — Network Settings Method
- Press NETWORK SETTINGS; this screen shows a graphical view of buttons representing OPEN and SECURE Wi-Fi networks and a button for adding a network.
- Open connection which requires no password.
- Secure connection which requires Wi-Fi password (security key).
- Add a network is required when Wi-Fi identification (SSID) is being hidden (not broadcasting). You will need to know the Wi-Fi network name (SSID), security encryption type (if enabled), and security password (if security encryption is enabled).
- When selecting a:
- unsecured connection a screen will appear with two options, connect and router info. Press connect to continue.
- secured connection a screen will appear requesting the Wi-Fi network password (security key). There are two options to select from which are connect and router info. Using the on-screen keyboard, enter the password (security key) and then press connect to continue.
NOTE – The router info button provides information concerning the homeWi-fi connection (i.e, RSSI, IP address, MAC address and wait state) all of which may be helpful in troubleshooting network connection issues).
- If connection is successful the screen will return to the available networks screens. Press AP3 as exampled in figure 8 to return to the previous screen. If the connection was successful it will be listed connected as exampled below.
- When connecting to a hidden network, press the add new network icon to continue. Enter the network name (SSID). If security encryption is enabled, then press the security is none icon. Select either WEP, WPA or WPA2.
- Using the on-screen keyboard, enter the password (security key). If the network name or security key combination is incorrect or incorrectly type, and access to the specified network failed, a message will alert you to retry.
- If the connection is successful the screen will return to the available networks screens. The network successfully connected will be listed and shown as connected as exampled in figure 8.
Method 2 — Connection Status Method
- Press connection status; this screen shows a graphical view of the current connection status.
- Select the router icon to choose the desire W-Fi network. When selecting a:
- unsecured connection a screen will appear with two options, connect and router info. Press connect to continue.
- secured connection a screen will appear requesting the Wi-Fi network password (security key). There are two options to select from which are connect and router info. Using the on-screen keyboard, enter the password (security key) and then press connect to continue.
- If connection is successful the screen will return to the available networks screens. Press X to return to the previous screen. If the connection was successful it will be listed connected as exampled below.
- Select X to return to the WI-FI SETTINGS screen. Select connection status again to verify that connection to the router and internet is active. Both the router and internet icons will have green backgrounds if connections are successful.
- Skip the next section if connection to the home Wi-Fi router, Internet and server were successful.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Connection
ROUTER / MODEM CHECK IF CONNECTION FAILS
- Make sure the router and modem are turned on.
- Check for connections to other wireless devices and internet connection
- Make sure the iComfort Wi‐Fi® thermostat’s Wi-Fi is enabled and connected to the home network (AP).
- If having difficulty connecting to the router, online research the router model number and/or internet provider to discover and verify that the router band is set to B, G or N bands. You will need to access the routers utility program to make any changes. If not accessible please contact your service provider for help. The thermostat will connect to B, G or N band routers at this time. NOTE: When set to B or G bands, video streaming will likely be slower that N band. If homeowner has implemented a dedicated N band router for the purpose of video streaming, a separate router for the thermostat may be required.
- Reboot your router
- Unplug your power cord, wait 30 seconds, then reconnect. If you have multiple routers, try rebooting all of them when problems occur.
- If their are multiple routers you must have different name and password for each one.
- On your computer, turning Wi-Fi off and then back on will force the system to rescan for available networks. Do you see the network your thermostat is trying to connect to?
- Power cycle the thermostat.
- Keep cordless phones, microwaves and other electrical equipment at least 3.5 feet (1m) away from the access point.
- Try moving your router closer to the device if possible. If the connection is improved, then there is probably some interference. Must have signal stronger than -70db (also, see Router Signal Strength on page 3); anything less will have signal losses or not connect at all.
- Adjust the direction of the router toward the thermostat. Adjust the router’s antenna. A signal repeater may be needed.
- Try changing channels on the access point and test it out with one of your internet devices (i.e. laptop, desktop). The IP address to the server from the stat will be close to the same IP address from the computer to the server (www.mycomfortsync.com).
COMPUTER CONNECTIONS:- On Access Point, Login to configuration (usually web based interface) > go to Wireless Settings and select a different channel> Save settings.
- Devices cannot change Wi-Fi channel. It is set only at the router.
- On the thermostat, disable, then re-enable the Wi-Fi connection.
- Antenna in thermostat is fixed and cannot be moved. Location of your access point with respect to the thermostat is very important.
- Baby monitors, garage door openers and wireless video cameras may create signal interference.
- Check your encryption key (Password).
- Double check and re-enter your WEP/WPA encryption keys / pass-phrases (usually found on the router). If set to WEP security, change to WPA if allowed.
- In your thermostat’s wireless settings, verify that your encryption key (password) is correct. There can not be spaces at the end of the SSID or Password.
- It is important to note that number of walls that the signal must pass thru to reach the thermostat can be an issue. (e.g. 4 indoor walls, or 1 outdoor wall + 2 indoor walls could mean a weak signal at the thermostat).
- The addition of a signal repeater or extender maybe an option. (Desktop or wall outlet plug-in devices are available online or at your local electronics stores in price range $70 – $150).
- If multiple routers are in the home make sure each router has a different name.
- If you don’t get the pop up box that says the registration request has been forwarded, then the email was not sent to the server and the return registration link will not be sent to your email address. Try all the router troubleshooting procedures and if you still can’t get it to send the email, cycle the power to the thermostat. This will cause the thermostat to ask for the Lennox server mac address again and try to resend the email.
- If all is correct, refer user to their Router manufacturer and Network provider. Router may have incoming fire wall check with service provider.
ROUTER SIGNAL STRENGTH
After connecting to your router, you can check your signal strength by pushing the Wi-Fi icon on the home screen, then the networks button, then your network button, then the AP info button (see figure 10). A strong wireless signal (RSSI) is indicated by a NEGATIVE decibel number in the range from -46 to -58db; anything greater than -80db will not connect. If you are connected but have a signal above -70db then you may consider adding a signal repeater/extender or making some of the other router adjustment mentioned in the Router / Modem Check section.

- Maximum overcool from cooling setpoint is 2ºF.
- Deadband temperature is limited to a minimum of 5ºF (instead of 3ºF in DRY or MODERATE modes) because of 2ºF overcooling.
AUXILIARY DEHUMIDIFIER — COMMUNICATING OR NON-COMMUNICATING OUTDOOR UNITS
Control State | Conditions |
Auxiliary dehumidification is controlled by iComfort® thermostat with or without zoning. |
• System must be in cooling mode
and have a call for dehumidification from the iComfort® thermostat. This will start the auxiliary dehumidifier. • A separate wire from auxiliary dehumidifier will need to be run to G terminal on indoor unit control to start the blower. |
Auxiliary dehumidification is con trolled by dehumidification con trol with or without zoning | Needs a dehumidification demand from the stand-alone dehumidification thermo stat and a separate wire run to G terminal on indoor unit to start the blower. |
Zoning Control Settings
NOTE – Skip if no zoning control device is installed.
- Heat/Cool Changeover
The following is an example of how the system operates during a heating / cooling changeover.
When the system is satisfying a call from zone 1 for heating and receives a call for cooling from zone 2, the following will occur:- Then system will continue to fulfill the demand from zone 1 until satisfied, or a maximum time of 20 minutes has occurred.
- If after 20 minutes the system is still operating based on satisfying the heating demand from zone 1, the system will terminate that demand.
- The system will then shut system down for five (5) minutes. This will allow for system temperatures and operating pressures to stabilize.
- After a five 5 minute delay the system will begin operations to satisfied the cooling demand from zone 2.
The system will continue to operate in this matter each time it receives a zone call that is opposite of the current mode of operation (heating or cooling).
- Damper Operation
Cooling Operation Conventional Heat/Cool and Heat Pump Systems
When an in-zone thermostat makes a demand for cooling, the zone damper opens and the cooling equipment begins operating.
Cooling demand is terminated when:- all zone demands for cooling are terminated.
- The demand has exceeded the heat/cool changeover time limit (20minutes) while a heat demand exists.
When cooling demand is terminated, a 5 minute minimum off time delay is initiated.
Second-stage cooling is energized when the discharge air temperature is 7°F higher than the setpoint of the cooling staging temperature jumper.
Heating Operation Conventional Heat/Cool and Heat Pump Systems
When a in-zone thermostat makes a demand for heating, the zone damper opens and heating equipment begins operating. Heating demand is terminated when:
- All zone demands for heating are terminated.
- The demand has exceeded the heat/cool changeover time limit (20minutes) while a cooling demand exists.
When heating demand is terminated, a 5minute minimum off time delay is initiated. Second-stage heating is energized if the discharge air temperature is lower than the setpoint of the heating staging temperature setpoint.
EDIT AND TEST AIRFLOW PER ZONE
Adjustment to all air flows can be made either at the System Devices > System screen or using the Edit and Test Airflow per Zone screen .The following procedure is to adjust individual zone airflow (CFM) for Blower Circulation, Cooling and Heating airflow.
- The Maximum Airflow for the selected mode on the left is displayed at the top right of the screen.
- The Assigned Airflow (the sum of the selected airflow for each zone) is displayed at the top right of the screen.
NOTE – The airflow per zone (in red) must be selected and verified before continuing.
- Select the desired radio button option – Blower Circulation Airflow, Cooling Airflow or Heating Airflow
- Adjust airflow for a specific zone by pressing on the desired zone. Total maximum airflow for all zones in this example is a combined1250 CFM. Minimum CFM per zone is 50 and maximum is 1250.
- Adjust airflow by using the up or down arrow to change the CFM.

Optional Accessories Wiring
FOR USE WITH ANY ICOMFORT BY LENNOX SYSTEM
Thermostat Wire Termination in Communicating System
Communicating systems using the iComfort Wi‐Fi® thermostat require four thermostat wires between the thermostat and the furnace/air handler control and four wires between the outdoor unit and the furnace/air handler control. When a thermostat cable with more than four wires is used, the extra wires must be properly connected to avoid electrical noise. The wires must not be left disconnected.
Use wire nuts to bundle the unused wires at each end of the cable. A single wire should then be connected to the indoor unit end of the wire bundle and attached to the “C” terminals as shown in the diagram above. This is not an issue in non-communicating systems.
Configuring Heat Sections on Air Handler Control (AHC)
IMPORTANT: After electric heat strips are installed, the Air Handler Control (AHC) must be manually configured to detect the number of electric heat sections. (SEE ALSO 506181-01 for complete configuration guide.)
This procedure is applicable only to the CBX32MV-XX-230-6-06 and higher and CBX40UHV (all models). To configure the heat strips so that they will be detected by the thermostat:
- Power must be applied to the air handler but NOT to the thermostat. Remove thermostat from base plate or remove wires to thermostat at the air handler.
- On the air handler control (AHC), unit should be in idle mode (decimal blinks at 1 Hertz—0.5 second ON, 0.5 second OFF.
- Select field test mode—touch and hold the push button until solid “–” appears; release button. Display will blink.
- Press the push button and wait for the display LED to show “H” (capital H), then release the button.
- The AHC cycles the indoor blower motor “on” to the selected heat speed and stages the electric heat relays “on” and “off” to automatically detect the number of electric heat sections. The AHC stores the number of electric heat sections, then automatically exits “Field Test Mode”.
- At this point, the iComfort Wi‐Fi® will now detect the heat strip information stored in the AHC.
