5.3. Geofencing
Utilize the geofencing feature in the LUX app to automatically adjust your home's temperature based on your proximity.

With the LUX mobile app, you can monitor and control your thermostat from anywhere with an internet connection. This includes adjusting temperature, changing modes, and reviewing system activity.

If using battery power, the thermostat will indicate when the AA batteries need replacement. It is recommended to use high-quality lithium batteries for optimal performance and longevity. Replace both batteries simultaneously.
6.2. Cleaning
To clean the thermostat, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray cleaners directly onto the unit, as this may damage the display or internal components.
