Download the Sensi app

The Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat is a Wi-Fi enabled device. To install and conﬁgure

your thermostat correctly, you must use the Sensi app. To start the installation

process, download the Sensi app to your smart phone or tablet. It is a free

download. The Sensi app requires the following Operating System (OS)

software to download:

• Android (Google Play) version 4.2 or later

• iOS (Apple) version 10.0 or later

*Note that in the iOS store, the Sensi App will ONLY appear on an “iPhone only”

search. On an iPad, change the search criteria in the App Store.

Create an account

When you download the Sensi app, you will be prompted to create an

account. This is required to access your thermostat remotely and use

all the features Sensi offers. Use a valid email address and a password

of your choosing to create an account. Remember this email address

and password. Your Sensi thermostat will be linked to this email

address once it is registered.

DOWNLOADING THE APP AND CREATING AN ACCOUNT

SensiTM Wi-Fi Programmable Thermostat | INSTALLATION GUIDE 4

Installation

Once you have downloaded the Sensi app, and have created an account,

you are ready to install the thermostat to your wall and connect it to Wi-Fi.

If no thermostats are registered yet, the Sensi app will prompt you to

add a thermostat.

First, choose which thermostat you purchased. The Sensi Wi-Fi Programmable

Thermostat option is for the following model numbers:

• 1F86U-42WF

• UP500W

Note: You can check your model number on the back of the thermostat faceplate.

Install path

After creating an account, signing in and choosing your model, the app will

ask you whether or not the thermostat is already on the wall. You will either

choose “No, it needs to be installed,” or “Yes, it is on the wall.”

The ﬁrst option will walk through the entire installation process. If you did

not have this thermostat professionally installed, choose this option.

The second option is for connecting your thermostat to Wi-Fi only. If you

have had a professional install your thermostat, and you just need to connect

the Sensi thermostat to your home Wi-Fi network, choose this option.

No, it needs to be installed.

This option will walk you through the entire installation process, including

identifying and connecting your wiring, as well as connecting to Wi-Fi. The

Sensi app will walk through a step-by-step process for installation.
