   HINT: Your system should not make any noise and you should not feel any air exiting your vents.Remove the front of your old thermostat from its base. If you see thick black wires, wire nuts, or any labels that say 120-240VAC or High Voltage, your system is not compatible with KONO Smart.

   • Heat Pump Single-Stage (Y, G, R, O/B, C)
   • Heat Pump with auxiliary heat or dual fuel (Y, G, R, O/B, W, C)
     If you have only one R wire, please use the RH terminal. If you have a different configuration other than what is listed above, please call LUX Technical Support for help with your installation.
2. Remove each wire from its terminal – make sure that they don’t fall down back into the wall.
3. Remove the mounting screws from the base of the old thermostat. Remove the base from the wall.

FAQs

I have a dual-band router 2.4 and 5ghz. The phone connects at 5ghz, but the router provides simultaneous 2.4 ghz. and 5ghz. Will the thermostat work?

It is possible to have connectivity issues on a dual band network, but that isn’t guaranteed.

Do you have to use a cell phone or can you use a computer?

A cell phone or tablet is required to operate the thermostat by the App.

Works with electric baseboard heater?

Yes, as long as this is a 24 to 30 volts to the thermostat and is both Electric Baseboard Heating and an Air Conditioning system. You must a “C” common wire to the thermostat for the unit to operate. Otherwise use our model LUX Geo which is a battery-operated Wifi unit.

Can you connect satellite room thermometers?

NO.

Will it do air conditioning?

Yes, it will operate your heat pump with air or operate in the conventional mode. Works great with Wi-Fi control.

Can I access the thermostat without being in the house?

Yes, via the App used on your cell phone or tablet.

I won’t be using Alexa. but want to control thermostat by iPhone. can I do that?

Yes, your iPhone can control the LUX Kono Smart without having an Alexa.

Can I talk to Google Home to change the settings and schedule the thermostat?

The LUX Kono will operate with the Google Home system for temperature changes but the settings can only be changed by the thermostat. The Kono will operate via the App for the scheduling.

Will this work with a new single wide Mobile home heating and air system?

Yes, it should as long as the wire is the same. We had an older house and didn’t have a problem.

I live in an old 1960 building that has an original gas furnace will Kono work with this furnace?

You MUST have a 4 wire or 5 wire system (C, common wire) in order for the LUX Kono to operate your system. A 2 wire heating system is incompatible; use our model LUX Geo for your 2 wire system operation.

What’s the difference with this one and pro series one?

I don’t know. I bought two of these on the Black Friday event and just installed them this week. I love it. The app works great. I turn on and off the furnace from my phone no matter where I am.

Does it work for Radiant Heat and what is a C wire?

Your radiant heating system may be operating via Line Voltage (120 v – 240 volts) which would make the Kono Smart incompatible. The “C” common wire would be found on 24-30 volt heating systems and would be needed to operate the Kono Smart thermostat. You can contact us at [email protected].

What are the dimensions of the trim plate? I would like to make sure it is large enough to cover the space of my existing thermostat. Thanks.

The wall plate dimensions are 5.5″ W x 5.5″ H or 140 mm W x 140 mm H.

Is delivery fast?

Yes.

Does this come with a sensor that you can put in another room?

At this time, we do not manufacture any thermostats which will have a remote sensor.
