Thermostat How-To

How to Set a Schedule on Your Amana Smart Thermostat

A schedule changes the temperature for you at the times you choose, so the house is comfortable when you are home and saves energy when you are not. This guide covers picking a mode, editing events and copying a day.

Choose the mode

If your system heats and cools, pick Auto, Cool, Heat or Off. Tap the mode icons beside the temperature on the home screen, or use the menu, then System Mode.

Schedule Ideas

  • Keep it simple. A wake, away, home and sleep pattern covers most households.
  • Avoid big jumps at one time. A smaller change is easier on a heat pump and avoids long recovery runs.
  • Make weekends different from weekdays if your routine changes, then copy the day to the others.
  • The thermostat supports a four-event daily schedule and a hold function when you want to override it.

Display Settings You May Want

These live under Settings, then Display.

  • Screen savers: choose what appears when the thermostat is idle.
  • Night mode: turns the display off during the schedule time you select, so a bright screen does not light the room.

When to Call Us Instead

If the schedule is set but the house does not follow it, call.

  • The system does not respond when a schedule event starts.
  • The schedule keeps changing or resetting.
  • The time on the thermostat is wrong even though it is on Wi-Fi.
  • Some rooms never reach the scheduled temperature.

Schedule Questions

How many events can I set each day?

The Amana smart thermostat has a programmable four-event schedule for each day.

Do heat and cool have separate schedules?

Yes, on systems that can heat and cool. Each mode can have its own schedule.

How do I copy one day’s schedule to other days?

Select the day, tap Copy Day and choose the days to copy to.

Can I change the schedule from the app?

Yes. The SkyportHome app shows the same schedule screens as the thermostat.
