Before You Begin

Helpful Information

All thermostats must be provisioned to the local network and assigned an IP address before connecting to the web portal can be established.
The on-screen menus on the thermostat set the following:
- User interface functions for the thermostat.
- Any basic essential HVAC functions needed to manage an HVAC system.
The web portal UI described in this document can be used to configure all settings covered by the thermostat’s on-screen menu, with additional capability to:
- Use the web portal’s advanced functions to customize an existing configuration or template file.
- Add more than one HVAC system on-screen menus can add only one). Note: Additional systems are managed via the Pro App.
The CLI-W200/W210 thermostat contains the relays needed to control one HVAC system (W1, W2, Y1, Y2, G, O). To manage more than one system, a CLI-PTACKK1 climate module can be added. There are, however, a few scenarios where the thermostat can manage more than one HVAC system. An example would be to use the traditional relays (W1, W2, Y1, Y2, G, O) to control a heat pump type system and use the Aux Relay (Aux) to switch a second radiant type system.
The table below indicates which interface can be used to set the various functions in an HVAC system.

HVAC System Field Descriptions

Section 4.1 above describes the various fields available in the web portal for configuring user interface settings on the thermostat. This section describes the web portal areas used to configure the functions of an HVAC system. Use the diagram below for reference when creating a configuration.

HVAC SYSTEMS

When adding one or more HVAC systems to a configuration, the thermostat controls one system, and the climate service in the Savant Pro App monitors and controls the additional HVAC systems. NOTE: A climate module with the necessary functionality is needed when adding more than one HVAC system to the configuration. See the Add an HVAC system to Configuration section below for information on adding HVAC systems to the configuration.

HVAC System <x>: Each HVAC system type (Gas, Electric, Heat Pump, Radiant) added to the configuration has its own set of parameters that may or may not need to be configured.

Select the Add button to add a new HVAC system to the configuration.
Select the X to remove any unwanted HVAC systems from the configuration.
Select the Blue text to direct the user to a separate window that contains the fields tailored explicitly for the HVAC system selected.

SYSTEM TYPES AND MODES

Selecting an HVAC system (see image in previous section), opens a screen that contains the fields tailored explicitly to the HVAC system chosen. The first two fields are the System Type and State Mode and are described below.

System Type: The type of HVAC system is displayed and can’t be modified (e.g. Gas, Electric, Heat Pump, Radiant).
State Mode: In multi-zone systems, if calls for heating and cooling are initiated at the same time in different zones, the State Mode determines which takes precedence and executes first. Select one of the options below from the dropdown menu:
- Heat Before Cool: Satisfy the call for heat before starting a call for cooling. Any zone currently being cooled gets suspended until the zone calling for heat is satisfied.
- Cool Before Heat: Satisfy the call for cooling before starting a call for heat. Any zone currently being heated gets suspended until the zone calling for cool is satisfied.
- Biggest Difference: Satisfy the zone that is furthest away from the set-point temperature first.

SYSTEM SETTINGS

Humidity Enabled: Reserved for future functionality. Not supported in version 0.1.0.
Cycle Fan Stage: Select which fan stage will cycle the fan in the HVAC system on and off. The Fan Mode parameter on the thermostat hardware must be set to Cycle for this to function correctly. Cycle mode turns the fan on and off in 15-minute intervals when the stage selected is active.

HELPFUL: Only the data collected from the sensors in the first zone are displayed on the thermostat. The data collected from any additional zones are managed by the thermostat but not displayed. A separate method would be required to view the actual temperature and humidity in the additional zones.

DISCHARGE AIR SENSOR

Discharge Air Temperature Sensor functions are not supported in the 9.3 and 9.4 releases.

Examples

Examples on how to configure the various functions on the thermostat are described in the sections below.

HVAC Template Files

Creating a custom configuration for one of the many types of HVAC systems can sometimes get daunting. Because of this, a list of template files that contain a configuration that can function with most HVAC systems are available. The templates cover the electric furnace, gas furnace, heat pump, and Radiant floor type systems.

NOTE: The instructions below describe how to add a template file when there is no file loaded. The process below assumes an IP Address was assigned to the thermostat and access to the portal was created (i.e. password created).

Open and log into the web portal. With no file loaded, the Select Template screen opens.
Select a template from the list of different HVAC types.
Scroll down and select Continue and the template selected is then loaded into the web portal.
Scroll through the various fields and make any modifications required. Use the descriptions fields from previous sections when making the changes.
Once complete, select the Deploy button. A banner at the bottom of the web portal indicating the configuration is being sent to the thermostat is displayed.
The thermostat will upload the file and then reboot to install the uploaded configuration. Upload times vary depending on the network. Typical upload and install times are less than one minute.
Wake up the thermostat and verify the thermostat is working correctly.

HELPFUL INFORMATION

When the thermostat already has a configuration loaded, to replace the existing configuration, select Actions > Start from Template from the thermostat’s configuration screen to open the Select Template screen. Once on the Select Template screen, any template file can be selected and deployed. Note that all existing parameters on the thermostat get replaced with the new template file’s attributes.
Replacing a configuration on the thermostat deletes the existing configuration and sets any fields that are not compatible with the new configuration back to their default values.

Reset to Defaults

Follow the steps below to reset the thermostat to its factory default settings. The reset wipes out the configuration, removes the assigned IP address, and will need to be provisioned to the network again.

Open and log into the web portal.
Select Actions > Reset to Defaults from the configuration screen that opens.
Read the Reset to Defaults alert window and select Confirm if you agree.
After about a 10 second delay, the thermostat will reboot. Once the reboot is complete, the thermostat screen will open to the Select Network To Connect. Select the appropriate network to provision the thermostat to that network.

Renaming Fields

Renaming parameter headings is good practice and makes it easy to identify devices such as the thermostat, relays, sensors, zones, and furnace types, to name a few. The procedure below is performed on the configuration file name but it is relevant for any configurable heading.

Open and log into the web portal.
Locate a heading that can be modified by hovering over the field to be renamed. If an edit line appears below the heading, the field can be modified.
Highlight the heading and enter a new name. A list of fields that can be modified are shown below.

Add or Replace a Temperature Sensor in a Zone

For each zone to function properly, at least one temperature sensor must be configured to that zone. The process below adds a single sensor to an HVAC zone. The instructions assume a configuration file is loaded into the web portal.

From the web portal, select the HVAC system that is managing the zone.
Scroll down and select the zone where the sensor is being added.
Scroll to the SENSORS section.
- TIP: By default, The sensor internal to the thermostat is added to the first HVAC zone available. Because of this, a sensor may already be listed/configured to that zone.
Select the Add button.
In the Add Sensor window that opens, select Rescan and allow the portal to discover all sensors available.
Select a temperature sensor from the Add Sensor window.
Select Save and verify the sensor gets added to the SENSORS section.
Optional: To remove any other sensors listed, select the Remove button associated with the sensor and follow the prompts. When there is more than one sensor listed under the SENSORS section, the thermostat will take readings from each sensor and output the average.

Additional Information

To remove a sensor from a zone, select Remove from within the box associated with that sensor, and follow the prompts.
When more than one temperature sensor is collecting data in a zone, either the average, maximum, or minimum of the sensors can be displayed.
See the Zones section above information on setting the Sensor Mode field.
The Sensor Average field increases or decrease the sample rate that the thermostat uses to collect data from each sensor. See the Zones section above for more information.

Calibrate a Sensors Output

When a sensor is not reading the exact temperature or humidity, an offset can be added to the data collected to display the temperature or humidity more accurately. Before starting the calibration process, Savant recommends placing a known good thermometer and humidity gauge near the thermostat to allow it to assimilate to the temperature and humidity in the room. Adding a correction offset to the data collected from a sensor within a zone is described below.

From the web portal, select the HVAC system that is managing the zone where the sensor is located.
Scroll down and select the zone that contains the sensor that needs the calibration.
Scroll to the SENSORS section and locate the sensor. Select the drop-down arrow to open the calibration fields
Compare the temperature displayed on the thermostat with the temperature from the known good thermometer and increase or decrease the temperature offset in the Temperature Calibration field.
Repeat step 4 for humidity. Increase or decrease the offset in the Humidity Calibration field to correct the humidity data.
- HELPFUL: The humidity calibration field that is associated with any thermistor type sensors (internal, RSI, RS2) corrects the humidity collected from the humidity sensor embedded in the thermostat. The exception to this is when calibrating a 1-wire smart sensor like the CLI-THFM1. In this case, the humidity calibration field corrects the data collected from the smart sensor.
Deploy the configuration to the thermostat and verify the offset corrected any discrepancies.

Additional Information

Humidity calibration range = +/- 50%
Temperature calibration range = (+/- 20°F, +/- 20° C)

Smart sensors such as the CLI-THFM1 collect both temperature and humidity from one sensor. Follow instructions below to add this type of sensor to an HVAC zone.

From the web portal, select the HVAC system that is managing the zone.
Scroll down and select the zone where the sensor is being added.
Scroll to the SENSORS section and select the Add button.
In the Add Sensor window that opens, select Rescan and allow the portal to discover all sensors available.
Select the smart sensor from the list of discovered sensors
Select Save and verify the sensor gets added to the SENSORS section.
Deploy the configuration to the thermostat and verify the temperature and humidity are displayed on the thermostat.

Test Sensor Function

After adding a smart sensor to a zone, a Test Sensor button appears with the sensor in the portal. Select the Test Sensor button, and a red LED on the face of the sensor will light, indicating its position in the zone. Select the button again to switch the LED off.

Additional Information

As shown in the image above, smart sensors present themselves with the UID of the sensor.
A Smart sensors can’t be configured as an outdoor sensor.

Add an HVAC system to the Configuration

The CLI-W210/W200 thermostat alone can control one HVAC system. By default, all the template files available already include an HVAC system and does not require one to be added. Adding a second or third HVAC system is only necessary when a climate module that controls a separate HVAC system gets added. The steps below describe how to add a second HVAC system to a configuration.

From the web portal, select the configuration or template file.
Select the Add button linked to the HVAC Systems field.
Select the HVAC system from the Add HVAC System that opens.
Select the Save button, and the HVAC system gets added. See the image to the right.
Select the HVAC system just created and make any necessary modifications.
Deploy the updated configuration to the thermostat.

Additional Information

Each HVAC system has its own preset configuration.

Assign an Aux Relay to Control a Humidifier or Dehumidifier

When controlling an external dehumidifier or humidifier, a relay must be assigned to trigger the external equipment to switch on and off. The instructions below assign the auxiliary relay to do this; however, any available relay can be used. Before starting the process, verify the humidifier is installed and wired, and with the CLI-W200, a smart sensor that monitors humidity must also be wired and configured (CLI-THFM1). Adding a smart sensor is described in the Add a Smart Sensor to a Zone section above. See the Multistat Smart Thermostat Deployment Guide (009-1959) on the Savant Community for wiring and installation information.

From the web portal, select the configuration file.
Slide the Humidity Enabled field button to the right to enable humidity on the thermostat.
Select the HVAC system that will control the external equipment.
Under the AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT section, select the fan stage that triggers the fan in the HVAC system to come on when the humidifier or dehumidifier switches on.
Select the Assign button linked to the Humidify or Dehumidify Relay field.
Select the auxiliary relay from the Assign Relay window that opens.
Select Save to add the relay to the Humidify or Dehumidify Relay field.
Deploy the updated configuration to the thermostat and verify the system performs as intended.

Additional Information

The humidifier and fan stage 1 switch on automatically once the humidity decreases five percentage points (-5%) below the humidity set point. For example, when the humidity setpoint is at 30%, the humidifier will switch on at 25% and switch off at 30%.
Follow these same instructions when configuring a dehumidifier. The difference is the Dehumidify Fan Stage and Dehumidify Relay fields get configured.
The instructions above set up the auxiliary relay. However any relay can be used.
The Assign Relay window that opens in step 2 lists all the relays in the system, not just the available ones. It is up to the installer or integrator to keep track of the used and unused relays.

Hysteresis

Setting Hysteresis in a Radiant Flooring HVAC System with Slab Sensor Installed

In a radiant flooring installation, the Floor Hysteresis field adds a buffer to the Max Slab Temp field which will reduce the number of times the HVAC system switches on and off. The Max Slab Temp field is set as a safety so the temperature in the floor never goes above a specified temp. As an example, if the Max Slab Temp is set to 90° F and the Floor Hysteresis field is set to 4° F, the HVAC system will stop supplying heat when the floor reaches 90° F and not switch back on until the temperature at the slab sensor reaches 86° F. The instructions below describe how to set up these two fields. It is important to note that the Slab Sensor, Max Slab Temp, and Hysteresis parameters are optional. These parameters are for safety purposes and a Radiant system will still function with these parameters not set.

Add Radiant HVAC System.
1. Select the Configuration Template file loaded in the web portal.
2. Select the ADD button associated with the HVAC Systems field to add a Radiant HVAC System to the configuration.
3. Select the Radiant HVAC System.
4. Select Save and the Radiant HVAC System gets added.
5. Select the Radiant System just added. This opens a window with fields explicitly for the Radiant HVAC System.
  - Add Slab Sensor to Radiant HVAC System.
6. Select the Assign button from the Slab Temp Sensor field.
7. Select the Rescan button to discover all sensors in the system.
8. Select which port has the slab sensor connected.
9. Select Save to assign the port to the slab sensor field.
  - Configure Max Slab Temp
10. Using the + and – buttons, set the Max Slab Temp to the maximum temperature the floor should reach. This is a safety feature to ensure the floor never goes above this temperature.
  - Configure Hysteresis
11. Using the + and – buttons, set the Floor Hysteresis temperature. The number set allows the temperature of the floor to fall until the following is met (Max Slab Temperature – Hysteresis). At that point, the HVAC system will switch back on to supply heat to the floor. See the example in the overview text at the top of this.

HELPFUL: The Floor Hysteresis value is always subtracted from the maximum slab temperature.

Climate Module

Add a Temperature Sensor and a Relay to a Zone

This example describes how to add a second zone to an existing configuration and in that zone, do the following:

Add a temperature sensor, that is wired to a CLI-10K4IN climate module, to the configuration.
Assign a relay from a CLI-AUX3 climate module and use it to control a humidifier or dehumidifier.

It is important to note that the starting configuration was from the template file labeled Gas; 1 stage Heat, 1 stage Cool and some of the functionality is already built into this file. Use the diagram below as a reference as it represents what is being added to the configuration file.

IMPORTANT: The procedure assumes the climate modules are wired and powered. Refer to the Quick Reference Guide to each module for wiring information.

Assign Temperature Sensor to Zone

The instructions below assign the temperature sensor connected to the CLI-10K4IN climate module to the zone labeled Home. This zone is by default set in the configuration and available for use. If desired, a zone other than this preconfigured zone can be used. In this case, a new zone will need to be created. Refer to the ZONES section above for information on this.

Select the <HVAC system> that the temperature is being added. These instructions use the default HVAC system labeled Gas Furnace 01.
Scroll to the ZONES heading, select the zone where the sensor will be added.
From the zone window that opens, select the Add button associated with the SENSORS field.
Select the Rescan button from the Add sensor window that opens to discover all ports that could have a sensor wired to it.
Select the port, from the climate module, where the sensor is wired. Climate module ports are identified by the UID of the climate module followed by the port number.
- Example: 001AAE08F65D0061-0 = Port 0 of climate module with UID shown.
Select Save to add the sensor to the SENSORS section.
Any unwanted temperature sensors listed can be removed. To do this, select the Remove button associated with the sensor and follow the prompts.
- HELPFUL: Refer to the Add or Replace a Temperature Sensor in a Zone section for more information on adding relays to a zone.
  - Add Auxiliary Relay to Zone: The previous section adds a temperature sensor to the zone labeled Home. The next step in the example is to add an auxiliary relay from a CLI-AUX3 climate module to the same zone. When complete, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature in that zone. When the temp falls below the setpoint, the aux relay is triggered, and it opens or shuts a damper that feeds the zone.
From the same zone, select the Assign button associated with the RELAY field to open the Assign Relay window.
Select Rescan to discover all ports on the devices in the system that have a relay linked to it.
Select the auxiliary relay port from the climate module. As described above, the port is identified by the UID of the module followed by the name of the port on that module.
Scroll to the bottom and Save the updates. The window will close and the aux1 relay connection is added to the RELAY section.

Climate Module

Add a Second HVAC System

The CLI-W210/200 thermostat can control one HVAC system. Managing more than one system requires the Pro App and a climate module such as the CLIREL1AUX1 or CLI-PTACK1. The steps below describe how to utilize the ports from the CLI-REL1AUX1 module to add a second HVAC system. The climate relays in the thermostat are used to manage one HVAC System, and the climate relays in the CLI-REL1AUX1 climate module manage the other. The example below assumes the module is wired and powered. Refer to the Relay Module with one 6-Port Climate Relay and one Aux [CLI-REL1AUX1] Quick Reference Guide on the Savant Community for more information.
