Worried that it will get too hot or too cold during Smart Peak Events? Our adjustments are based on your thermostat’s schedule, so your home should never be more than a few degrees away from your normal temperatures. However, if you want to make certain that your home will not rise above or sink below a certain temperature, you can program a max and min temperature on your thermostat.

Nest

To set minimum and maximum temperatures on your Nest thermostat, you must lock your schedule. This allows you (and Smart Peak Rewards) to make adjustments only within a certain range. When you lock your thermostat, you will create a 4-digit pin, which can be used to unlock it and make adjustments outside of the locked range.

Step-by-step instructions on how to lock and unlock your thermostat.

ecobee

You can set your ecobee’s maximum and minimum temperatures by creating heating/cooling ranges in the preferences. By creating this range, you can prevent others (including Smart Peak Rewards) from selecting temperatures outside of the range.

Step-by-step instructions for setting a heating/cooling range.

Honeywell Home

You can set an upper and lower temperature setpoint limit on your Honeywell. The My Total Connect Comfort portal also allows you to set alerts for when the indoor temperature gets too high or too low. This feature can be turned on or off from the thermostat settings screen in your My Total Connect Comfort account. The alert message will be active until the condition has been corrected.

Visit the Honeywell Home Support Center on Programming Your Thermostat and select your thermostat model to learn more.
