Welcome to Your Central HVAC Display & ControlUpdated 6 days ago

Welcome to your Mysa for Central HVAC!

Your Mysa for Central HVAC gives you fast, precise control and clear status at a glance — whether you’re adjusting temperature from the thermostat display or checking system status in the Mysa app.

This guide walks you through what each number and icon means, how to change your comfort settings, and what to do if something goes offline or a sensor alert appears.


What You’ll See at a Glance

Your Mysa for Central HVAC provides two main ways to view comfort and system status:

  1. Thermostat Display – Your on-wall control showing live temperature and system indicators

  2. Mysa App Tile – The mobile dashboard displaying real-time status, comfort, and connectivity

Changing Temperature & Set points on Thermostat

Adjusting Temperature

  1. Tap the set point on your thermostat or in the app tile.

  2. Tap Up or Down Arrow to change the value.

  3. The new set point applies after 3 seconds or by tapping the middle of the thermostat.



Using Auto Mode (Dual Setpoints)

In Auto Mode, Mysa maintains both heating and cooling setpoints:

  • The heat setpoint triggers heating when the room drops below target.

  • The cool setpoint triggers cooling when the room rises above target.

  • Mysa maintains a 2–6 °C (4–10 °F) separation by default to prevent short cycling.

Changing Units (°C / °F)

To change display units:

  • From the Device:

    • Hold both the left-and-right arrows

    • Use the right arrow to navigate to the temperature selection (F/C)

    • Use the up-and-down arrows to set the temperature format

    • Tap the middle or wait 3 seconds for the change to apply

    • Tap the middle again to exit the PREF menu

  • From the App:

    • Select your Thermostat

    • Open the Thermostat Settings → Thermostat Preferences

    • Set the preferred temperature format



Modes & Fan Control

Your thermostat and app display only the modes and fan speeds supported by your system, so you’ll never see options that don’t apply.

User can define the period of time in number of minutes per hour the fan should circulate air; heating and cooling CAN run simultaneously and are factored into total runtime.


Fan runtime also applies when the thermostat is set to OFF mode.

How to Recover

  1. Check system power: Verify furnace breaker and door interlock are closed.

  2. Reopen the Mysa app: Tap Refresh to reconnect.

  3. If still offline, see Installation Troubleshooting or re-pair your thermostat.

Why this matters: You’ll always know what’s happening — even offline, your Mysa continues managing comfort safely.
