Operation
Cycle rate
Cycle Rate is a feature accessible in the Sensi app. It allows you to customize temperature control to suit your personal preference. Cycle rate options include fast, medium and slow.
- For most homes with ducted heating and cooling systems, the medium setting is optimal.
- For most homes with hot water boilers or steam heating systems, the slow heating cycle rate is optimal.
- For the tightest temperature control, select the Fast cycle rate.
A faster cycle rate provides tighter temperature control and shorter on/off cycles. A slower cycle rate provides a bit wider of a temperature swing and longer on/off cycles. If you feel that your system is turning on and off too quickly, or causing wide temperature swings by turning on and off too slowly, simply adjust the cycle rate.
To access and adjust the cycle rate setting:
- Open the Sensi app.
- Tap on your thermostat name.
- Tap on the settings gear.
- Tap on System settings.
- Find and adjust Cycle Rate for each system mode to your desired preference: Fast, Medium or Slow.
