Smart Away mode brings Lennox innovation to energy savings by doing what regular programmable thermostats cannot. Rather than simply following a set schedule, Smart Away lets the Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat adapt to your life perfectly. Smart Away works with the GPS in your family's smartphones to detect when the house is empty. When it's sure that nobody is home, it sets the temperature back to save energy. Then, when the S40 Smart Thermostat detects that someone is on their way home, it returns the system to normal operation, so everyone always comes home to comfortable air. Smart Away can be used with any Schedule.
To turn on Smart Away go to Menu > Settings >Away > Smart Away
-
Smart Away works with multiple users in the same household, as long as they have a smart phone/tablet with the Lennox S40 Thermostat App and participation is turned on. Once all participating mobile devices have moved outside the transition range, the thermostat will set the temperature back to save energy. If you leave the house and someone is still home without the Smart Away app, then they can simply turn off Smart Away from the thermostat.
-
A geofence is a GPS mapped geographical boundary around the home which is used within the Smart Away feature.
Yes, it can support multiple smart phone users living in the same house. The thermostat will listen to geofence changes from all the smart phones and determine the setpoints for the home based on each user's approximate location (or geofence) and Smart Away settings. -
Away Mode is a special mode for when you're away or nobody is home. When Away is active, the home screen brightness dims and it allows you to specify a heat setpoint and a cool setpoint that will be used when you're not at home. You can also change the Away setpoints at any time under Menu > Settings > Away.
To use Away Mode, you manually put your system in Away Mode when you leave your house by tapping the Away button on the home screen on your thermostat (bottom left). The Away button is also available in the mobile app in the My Homes screen. When you return home, you'll need to cancel Away Mode.
Alternatively, if you have a smart phone, you can enable Smart Away so you'll never have to manually put your home in Away Mode when you leave your house and remember to adjust your thermostat temperature when you return home. This means you'll always be comfortable and saving energy when you're away.

Creating a Schedule is the easiest way for homeowners to save on energy costs, as much as 30%. When setting a schedule, the HVAC system will automatically adjust the indoor temperature up or down to save energy while you are away. In addition, the HVAC system returns the temperature back just before you arrive home, so the temperature is always perfect. To set up a Schedule go to Menu > Schedule and select one of the desired schedules:
• Schedule IQ
• Save Energy
• Spring / Fall
• Winter
• Summer
Then select Edit.
-
1) From the Home Screen go to Menu, tap on the Schedules button.
2) Select Schedule (Schedule IQ, Save Energy, Spring / Fall, Winter or Summer) and then tap the Edit button.
3) In the Edit screen, you can customize heat and cool set points for different time periods.
4) Click on Options to change Schedule Name, Day Grouping, System Mode, Fan Mode and Fan Minutes per hour.
-
Why and how is Schedule IQ different than Winter, Summer, Spring/Fall, and Save Energy schedules?
Back to QuestionsSchedule IQ is a smart schedule that uses Smart Away along with traditional scheduling for when you're at home during the day and night. The other schedules (Winter, Summer, etc.) are traditional schedules in which you can set up to four periods and their corresponding setpoints. They come pre-loaded with recommended settings for the season (Winter, Summer, Spring/Fall) or for saving energy (Save Energy schedule).
-
If your system is currently running a schedule, and you have Smooth Setback Recovery enabled, the thermostat knows how long it takes to achieve the temperature for the next setpoint and will start to cool or heat your house to achieve the setpoint by the start of the new time period. When this occurs, the "Transitioning to Next Schedule" status message appears in the left side of the home screen.
-
No, for example, you may have two systems in your home, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. If so, then each system has its own settings and its own schedules. For example, if you edit "Winter" schedule in system "Upstairs", and you would like to apply the same change for system "Downstairs", you would need to edit "Winter" schedule for system "Downstairs" too (via Menu > Schedules > Winter > Edit Schedules ). However, if you have Lennox Smart Zoning System zoning, a change in a schedule for a system does apply to all other zones in that same system. But you also need to make sure that each zone has the mode/schedule you desire selected.
-
1) From the home screen go to Menu > Schedule > Select desired Schedule
2) Now select Edit. Once in the edit schedules screen, you're allowed to modify up to 4 periods in one day.
3) Select Options to change Schedule Name, Day Grouping, System Mode and Fan Mode.
You can also rename traditional schedules and restore them to their factory default settings. For example, the save energy schedule comes preloaded with recommended setpoints for saving energy, but because of differences in geographic regions, these settings may not be the most optimal for your area, and thus we allow you to modify them. If you would like to see what the default setpoints were at the time of purchase, then you can tap "Restore".
-
Schedule IQ is a smart schedule that works with Smart Away. With Smart Away, you'll never have to put your home in Away Mode when you leave your house or remember to adjust your thermostat temperature when you come home. With Schedule IQ selected, it will automatically change setpoints according to your geofence and Away settings. Schedule IQ also allows you to combine Smart Away with the flexibility of traditional scheduling by setting "At Home Day" and "At Home Night" setpoints and times.
To access and edit Schedule IQ, go to Schedules > Schedule IQ.
-
When a schedule is selected, the home screen indicates which schedule is running. In this mode, changing a temperature setpoint by pressing on a knob or setpoint below will cause you to overwrite the current schedule settings. Therefore, a prompt dialog will appear asking you for how long to overwrite the schedule. You can select 1 hour, 2 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours or a custom option. If you select Custom, a time/date appears, and you have the option of setting the hold for any length of time. After a hold is set, the dialog disappears, and a "Schedule Hold" status message will appear on the home screen along with a cancel option should you choose to revert to the schedule.
-
When you have a schedule selected, if you make manual changes to the temperature setpoints, you'll see a message about the schedule being in Hold since you have manually overwritten the schedule setpoint(s). You can customize the duration of the Hold, but by default the schedule is on hold until the next period. After a Hold is set, you can choose to Cancel the schedule hold, which will resume the schedule to normal operation.
-
Where does the outdoor temperature displayed on my S40 Smart Thermostat come from?
Back to QuestionsThe outdoor temperature displayed in your thermostat's home screen can come either from the sensor in your outdoor unit or from https://www.accuweather.com/. You can choose between these two sources under Menu > Display Settings > Home screen > Outdoor temperature source.
When the AccuWeather option is selected, your Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat must be connected to WiFi.
-
Defrosting happens when the temperature outside gets too cold, or if there is ice and the system cannot use the heat pump (if your system has a heat pump). To get rid of frost, the system will run a mode similar to the AC to take the heat from inside the house across the indoor coil and transfer it outside to warm the outdoor unit. The goal is to heat the outdoor unit to evaporate the water.
-
The weather forecast on the weather screen on your thermostat comes from https://www.accuweather.com/. To view the weather forecast in your area and current outdoor air quality conditions, simply tap on the weather icon in the home screen.
-
Just like in a weather report, the Feels Like temperature is the temperature you feel right now, which may be different than the current temperature. The Feels Like feature is a combination of outdoor and indoor temperatures and indoor humidity to determine what it actually feels like in the home. When Feels Like is turned on, your Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat will display this temperature.
Also, when Feels Like is turned on and you change the temperature setpoint, you're specifying what temperature you would like your house to feel at. Feels Like comes enabled by default. To turn it off, go to Menu > Settings > Current Temperature > Feels Like.
-
Do you like your home to always be at the same temperature no matter what? Then Perfect Temp is for you. Perfect Temp is a feature that uses auto mode (a special heat/cool mode) with advanced algorithms to control the humidity and fan so your home is always at the same temperature. Also, when it is spring or fall and you don't know whether your system should be cooling or heating, Perfect Temp allows you to set only one setpoint instead of two (for heating and cooling).
Perfect Temp comes disabled by default. To turn it on, go to Menu > Settings > Heat & Cool > Perfect Temp . We recommend you try it!
What are the advantages of Perfect Temp?
Perfect Temp lets you set your home at your ideal temperature, and your system automatically adjusts heating and cooling to maintain that setting.
Perfect Temp also works with Schedule IQ, so your home can be set at your ideal away temperature set-point when you're away.
Perfect Temp will save your home energy usage, with a feature called "coasting", which allows the current temperature to reach the desired single setpoint without the system doing any work based on monitoring current outdoor weather conditions.
-
If I am leaving my home for an extended period of time, how do I increase the setpoint range?
Back to QuestionsYes, you can control the range of temperatures you set your home to by going to Menu > Settings > Heat & Cool > Wider Setpoint Range .
-
At outdoor temperatures above the high balance point, only the heat pump is allowed to run. At outdoor temperatures below the low balance point, only the auxiliary heat source is allowed to run. At outdoor temperatures between the high and low balance points, both the heat pump and auxiliary heat source are allowed to run. You can modify the high and low balance points under Menu > Settings > Heat & Cool > Auxiliary Heat.
-
You can control the temperature in individual sets of rooms using a Lennox Smart Zoning System, which groups sets of rooms into zones. Each zone has a thermostat that is used to control the temperature in that respective area of the home. Contact your local Lennox dealer to see if zoning is right for your home. You can learn more and purchase Lennox Smart Zoning System zoning here: http://www.lennox.com/products/comfort-controls/Lennox Smart Zoning System/
-
Yes, by default, S40 reminds you when it is time to replace the filter, humidifier pad, UV bulb, or when it is time for maintenance. Your dealer configured these reminders for you during installation, but you can always modify the reminder settings for how often you want to be reminded under Menu > Settings > Notifications in the reminders section.
-
In Menu > Settings > Notifications > Reminders you're given two options: Calendar and Run-Time. Let's say you want to have Filter 1 Reminder set to 3 months. With Calendar Time, it will take 3 months regardless of whether the system is running or not for the reminder to show. With Run-Time, it will take 3 months of the system running (which may be longer than 3 calendar months) for the reminder to show.
-
Your Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat will dehumidify, humidify, or do both according to your humidity settings and equipment installed. Your humidity settings are located under Menu > Settings > Humidity . Depending on your equipment, you may have different humidification and/or dehumidification options available.

Emergency heat is when you use your supplemental heat (2nd stage) by itself, without the use of your heat pump (1st stage heat). This option is not available for non-heat pump systems.
Auxiliary heat (only on heat pump systems) is when the 1st stage heating equipment cannot keep up with the space heating demand and a 2nd stage call for additional heat is required. With an Air Handler with electrical heat, when 2nd stage runs it will run in conjunction with 1st stage. With dual fuel systems, when 2nd stage runs, it will turn off 1st stage heating and run only on 2nd stage.
If your AUX lockout temp is 40°F/4.4°C, then auxiliary heat will come on when the outdoor air temperature drops below 40°F/4.4°C. With Heat Pump Balance, you don't have to worry about the AUX lockout temperature. -
Auxiliary heat is electric resistance heat. Under Menu > Settings > Heat & cool, you can turn on auxiliary heat so that you can specify the low and high balance points of when you would like the auxiliary heat to kick-in.
-
All heat pumps operating in northern climates (below 35°F) normally need a supplemental heating source. Usually this is in the form of electric heating provided by the indoor unit. Other sources could be gas, oil, or hot-water back-up systems as well. The supplemental heat is also referred to as "second-stage" or "back-up" heating, with "first-stage" being the heat pump only. Emergency heat is when you use your supplemental heat (2nd stage) by itself, without the use of your heat pump (1st stage heat). The Emergency heat option is not available for non-heat pump systems.
If this feature is available to you, you can find it and turn it on by going to Modes > Emergency heat.

Your thermostat maintains comfort by automatically adjusting how hard your HVAC system works and for how long it operates. Your monthly summary report displays the average demand for each component in your system.
Demand is a number from 0 - 100%, where 100% is the maximum heating or cooling your system can provide. For example, a system running at 50% cooling demand is delivering half of its maximum cooling capacity. Demand provides better insight than runtime alone because it factors in what level of heating or cooling the system was operating. This is important for multistage and variable capacity systems that use multiple levels of heating or cooling. Using lower levels of heating or cooling can result in longer runtimes, but it is more efficient. Heating demand can usually increase as the outdoor temperature drops. As you transition from fall into winter, you will typically see your heating demand increase. Similarly, in the spring heating demand will typically decrease as the weather warms up. Your report includes the average outdoor temperature for each month, enabling you to compare your change in heating demand to the change in temperature.
Cooling demand will typically increase as the outdoor temperature increases. Cooling demand will usually be the highest in the peak of Summer and drop off as temperatures decrease.
Single Stage
Single stage systems have only one operating capacity, on at 100%. Therefore, the thermostat simply adjusts demand by changing runtime.
Two-Stage
Two-stage systems have two operating stages. The thermostat will first attempt to maintain comfort by operating only the lower stage. When the system cannot maintain comfort with the lower stage, it will begin to operate the higher stage.
Variable Capacity
Variable capacity systems continuously adjust the heating or cooling capacity from its minimum to its maximum capacity. The thermostat will maintain comfort by continuously adjusting the capacity of the system.
Electric Heat and Fan Demand calculations always assumes 100% capacity when on.

These settings will then apply to all zones within that system.
-
The most basic step towards troubleshooting your system is to check for alerts or warnings that are currently active. Tap the Menu button, and then select the Notifications button to view them.
Notifications are color coded to indicate their importance, with red being service urgent, followed by yellow being service maintenance. After selecting the notification, write down the alert or warning code. You can check what it means here:
What does this alert or notification mean?
If needed, you can contact your dealer (Menu > Lennox Dealer Support Services) or Lennox (at 1-800-9-LENNOX) to get any issue resolved as soon as possible. -
Here are the different types of alerts and what they mean:
- • Service Urgent (Red) - An alert that notifies you that your HVAC system is in a no heat, no cool or no ventilation status. As a result, your system is not heating or cooling your home. These alerts require service by a licensed HVAC Contractor within 24 hours to fix the issue.
- • Maintenance (Yellow) - A notification your HVAC Contractor sets in your thermostat for planned maintenance or service intervals. These notifications can be for replacing a filter or UV bulb, for a 'tune-up' or for cleaning a piece of your HVAC system.
The notifications are displayed on the S40 under Menu > Notifications. -
1. In the thermostat, go to Menu > System Settings > Advanced Settings > Restart, and press the restart button.
2. Press the "Yes" button.
To reset the Lennox S40 Smart thermostat please contact your dealer by going to Menu > Lennox Dealer Support Services or Lennox (at 1-800-9-LENNOX) -

-
Most HVAC systems are one-stage or single stage systems. These systems provide only one level of cooling or heating, at the maximum heating or cooling capacity. The thermostat controls the temperature in your house by turning the one-stage system on and off. During times when only a small amount of cooling is needed, your system will be on for 3 minutes and off for 15 minutes.
Single stage systems have only one operating capacity, on at 100%. Therefore, the thermostat simply adjusts demand by changing runtime. Therefore, a single stage system operating at 50% demand, runs 50% of the time. -
Two-stage cooling means the air conditioner or heat pump has a compressor with two levels of operation: high for hot summer days, and low for milder days. Since the low setting is adequate to meet household-cooling demands 80% of the time, a two-stage unit runs for longer periods and produces more even temperatures.
Two-stage systems have two operating capacities, typically 50% and 100%. The thermostat will first attempt to maintain comfort by operating only the lower (50%) stage, since it is more efficient. When the system cannot maintain comfort with the lower stage, it will begin to operate the second stage.- • A two-stage system operating at 25% demand will run the first stage 50% of the time. Runtime would be 50% for this case.
- • A two-stage system operating at 50% demand runs first stage 100% of the time. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
- • A two-stage system operating at 75% demand run first stage 50% of the time and second stage 50% of the time. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
- • A two-stage system operating at 100% demand runs second stage 100% of the time. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
Longer cooling cycles also translate to quieter, more efficient operation and enhanced humidity control. Compared to a single-stage unit, a two-stage air conditioner or heat pump can remove twice as much moisture from the air. This is important because when moisture levels are high, there's a higher potential for mold and other pollutant problems. -
Variable speed refers to the fan motor inside the air handler - the indoor part of an air conditioner that moves cooled or heated air throughout the ductwork of your home. An air handler is usually a furnace or a blower coil.
Unlike conventional single-speed motors, a variable speed motor runs at a wide range of speeds to precisely control heated and cooled air throughout the home. This is achieved by pairing a variable capacity unit with the S40 Smart Thermostat, which acts as the command center for the system.
Variable capacity systems continuously adjust the heating or cooling capacity from 40%-100% of maximum capacity. The thermostat will maintain comfort by continuously adjusting the capacity of the system. When the demand is below the minimum capacity of the variable capacity system, the system will cycle on and off while running at the minimum capacity.
• A variable capacity system operating at 80% demand will run continuously at 80%. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
• A variable capacity system operating at 40% demand will run continuously at 40%. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
• A variable capacity system operating at 20% demand will run at the minimum capacity of 40% for 50% of the time. Runtime would be 50% for this case. -
Your thermostat maintains comfort by automatically adjusting how hard your HVAC system works and for how long it operates. Your monthly summary report displays the average demand for each component in your system. Demand is a number from 0 - 100%, where 100% is the maximum heating or cooling your system can provide. For example, a system running at 50% cooling demand is delivering 1/2 (or 50%) of its maximum cooling capacity.
Demand provides better insight than runtime alone because it factors in what level of heating or cooling the system was operating. This is important for multi-stage and variable capacity systems that use multiple levels of heating or cooling to save energy. These efficient systems operate at the lowest level of heating or cooling whenever possible and only use the higher levels on those really hot or cold days. Using lower levels of heating or cooling can result in longer runtimes, but it is more efficient.
Heating demand will increase as the outdoor temperature drops. As you transition from fall into winter, you will typically see your heating demand increase. Similarly, in the spring heating demand will decrease as the weather warms up. Your report includes the average outdoor temperature for each month, enabling you to compare your change in heating demand to the change in temperature.
Cooling demand will increase as the outdoor temperature increases. Cooling demand will be the highest in the peak of summer and drop off as temperatures decrease. Increasing cooling demand without a corresponding increase in outdoor temperature may indicate a problem with your system.
Examples:
Single-Stage
Single-stage systems have only one operating capacity, on at 100%. Therefore, the thermostat simply adjusts demand by changing runtime. So, a single-stage system operating at 50% demand, runs 50% of the time.
Two-Stage
Two-stage systems have two operating capacities, typically 50% and 100%. The thermostat will first attempt to maintain comfort by operating only the lower (50%) stage, since it is more efficient. When the system cannot maintain comfort with the lower stage, it will begin to operate the second stage.
• A two-stage system operating at 25% demand will run the first stage 50% of the time. Runtime would be 50% for this case.
• A two-stage system operating at 50% demand runs first stage 100% of the time. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
• A two-stage system operating at 75% demand run first stage 50% of the time and second stage 50% of the time. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
• A two-stage system operating at 100% demand runs second stage 100% of the time. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
Variable Capacity
Variable capacity systems continuously adjust the heating or cooling capacity from 40%-100% of maximum capacity. The thermostat will maintain comfort by continuously adjusting the capacity of the system. When the demand is below the minimum capacity of the variable capacity system, the system will cycle on and off while running at the minimum capacity.
• A variable capacity system operating at 80% demand will run continuously at 80%. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
• A variable capacity system operating at 40% demand will run continuously at 40%. Runtime would be 100% for this case.
• A variable capacity system operating at 20% demand will run at the minimum capacity of 40% for 50% of the time. Runtime would be 50% for this case. -
Runtime shows you how long your Lennox equipment was in "On" mode. It does not take into account how hard your system worked (percent of demand) which depends on whether you have a low efficiency one-stage, mid efficiency two-stage, or high efficiency variable capacity system and other factors. Runtime can be analogous to how much distance a car ran without accounting for its fuel efficiency. If you want to understand how efficiently your equipment ran, see "How hard is my system working?"

The S40 Smart Thermostat operates with Lennox communicating equipment that sends serial communication regarding the Runtime.
You can view runtime information for your system in the monthly email performance report. In the monthly report, you only receive runtime values for the previous month. -
Demand varies with the outdoor weather. As the weather becomes more extreme, you can expect your HVAC system demand to increase. Your use of your home can also cause demand to change. For example, having extra guests visiting could increase cooling or heating demand depending on your setting. Alternatively, going on vacation could reduce demand if you set your system to Away mode or if you are using Smart Away.
-
Here are some pointers to reduce cooling or heating demand with your Lennox S40 Smart Thermostat:
1) When in cooling, raise your cooling set-point to the highest temperature which you can be comfortable. Program your thermostat to set the cooling setpoint even higher when you will not be home. Similarly, when in heating, lower your heating setpoint to the lowest temperature which you can be comfortable. Program your thermostat to set the heating setpoint even lower when you will not be home. You can utilize the Smart Away feature on the S40 thermostat to do this automatically.
2) Change your filters.
3) Keep your doors and windows closed. -

I have a Zoning system, but when I go to edit the Summer schedule for Zone 1, the changes are listed in the Summer schedules for the other zones. Why can't I edit schedules independently in a zoning system?
Back to QuestionsWithin a S40 thermostat, there are four unique programmable schedules:
Summer, Winter, Spring/Fall, and Save Energy. When zoning is installed, there may be up to four zones, but there is still only one main thermostat controlling all schedules. Therefore, all of the zones are looking at the same Summer schedule. Currently, the Lennox S40 does not support individual zone schedules. -

The most common issue with scheduling is the order you enter the schedule events.
Schedule events should be entered in chronological order within the 24 hour time frame (see below). For example, if the prior event was schedule for 4:00am, and you try to enter a new event for 3:30am, this event will not be accepted into the schedule due to the overlap in time. The 3:30am event should be entered before the 4:00am event

Here are some pointers to reduce cooling or heating demand in your S40 Smart Thermostat system:
1) When in cooling, raise your cooling setpoint to the highest temperature which you can be comfortable. Program your thermostat to set the cooling setpoint even higher when you will not be home. Similarly, when in heating, lower your heating setpoint to the lowest temperature which you can be comfortable. Program your thermostat to set the heating setpoint even lower when you will not be home. You can utilize the Smart Away feature on the S40 Smart Thermostat to do this automatically.
2) Change your filters.
3) Keep your doors and windows closed. -
The monthly performance report contains a summary of how hard the system worked (runtime and demand) for the past month and compares it to the previous month. Please refer to the related questions in this section to learn more about runtime and percent demand. The report also contains other helpful information such as how much time your system spent on away mode, your home's average indoor temperature, the average outdoor temperature for your zip code, and when your next filter replacement is due.
-
Demand varies with the outdoor weather. As the weather becomes more extreme, you can expect your HVAC system demand to increase. Your use of your home can also cause demand to change. For example, having extra guests visiting could increase cooling or heating demand depending on your setting. Alternatively, going on vacation could reduce demand if you set your system to Away mode or if you are using Smart Away.

It was developed and is maintained by the American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). One of the standard three main components is Whole House Ventilation which is exhausting stale indoor air and replacing it with fresh outdoor air.
