Important Safety Information and Installation Precautions
Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions may result in equipment damage or a
hazardous condition. Read all instructions carefully before installing
equipment.
Local codes and practices
Always install equipment according to the National Electric Code and in a
manner acceptable to the local authority having jurisdiction.
Electrostatic sensitivity
This product and its components may be susceptible to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Use appropriate ESD grounding techniques while handling the product.
When possible, always handle the product with its non-electrical components.
High voltage safety test
Experienced electricians, at first contact, always assume that hazardous
voltages may exist in any wiring system. Safety checks using a known, reliable
voltage measurement or detection device should be made immediately before
starting work and when work resumes.
Lightning and high-voltage danger
Most electrical injuries involving low-voltage wiring result from sudden,
unexpected high voltages on normally low-voltage wiring. Low-voltage wiring
can carry hazardous high voltages under unsafe conditions. Never install or
connect wiring or equipment during electrical storms. Improperly protected
wiring can carry a fatal lightning surge for many miles. All outdoor wiring
must be equipped with properly grounded and listed signal circuit protectors,
which must be installed in compliance with local, applicable codes. Never
install wiring or equipment while standing in water.
Wiring and equipment separations
All wiring and controllers must be installed to minimize the possibility of
accidental contact with other potentially hazardous and disruptive power and
lighting wiring. Never place 24VAC or communications wiring near other bare
power wires, lightning rods, antennas, transformers, or steam or hot water
pipes. Never place the wire in any conduit, box, channel, duct or other
enclosure containing power or lighting circuits of any type. Always provide
adequate separation of communications wiring and other electrical wiring
according to code. Keep wiring and controllers at least six feet from large
inductive loads (power distribution panels, lighting ballasts, motors, etc.).
Failure to follow these guidelines can introduce electrical interference and
cause the system to operate erratically.

User Interaction
e7 utilizes progressive disclosure which is an interaction design technique
that sequences information and actions across several screens to reduce
feelings of being overwhelmed by the user. By disclosing information
progressively, e7 reveals only the essentials and helps the user manage the
complexity of the feature-rich applications. The e7 has 3 stages in
progressive disclosure (all values are adjustable): Dormant Mode – When the e7
thermostat is not in use by the guest for more than 15 seconds, or when the
room is in an un-occupied state (rented or un-rented), the e7 thermostat will
only display the target temperature, with a dim LCD and keypad backlight.
Proximity Mode – As a user approaches the thermostat as detected by the
proximity sensor, the backlights will illuminate to full brightness, and
display the fan speed, mode and degrees (C or F). This occurs when the user is
within the 1m detection range at 0 degrees in front of the laser sensor. User
Interaction Mode – When a button is pressed by the user, the thermostat will
then display the modes (heat, cool, eco) and the measured temperature.
Voice Control – The e7 thermostat is equipped with integration for Amazon
Alexa Voice Service, so you can enable hands-free convenience for temperature
control in the guestroom. Voice control is enabled through a server Cloud
integration with AWS. Refer to the property-specific requirements
documentation for details on this feature.

Core Thermostat Power Supply Input Voltage and Relay Specifications
Before You Start
- For specific information on how to wire the thermostat to the HVAC equipment, refer to the e7 Installation Instructions and Getting Started videos that provide detailed information for wiring and mounting your new e7 thermostat. Go to the INNCOM website: https://pages1.honeywell.com/e7_Install_Instructions
- If installing the e7 as part of a wired (RS485) or wireless (RF) DeepMesh network in a centrally controlled Energy Management System (EMS) using the INNcontrol 3 Supervisor software, a unique network address or Room Identification (RoomID) must be assigned to each thermostat. A room list document is typically provided by Honeywell that lists all rooms and the associated functionality. Refer to the property-specific documentation for more information.
- The e7 is configured so that it will not call for heat, cool, or low, medium, and high fan speeds to protect the HVAC equipment when it arrives with default settings from the factory. The installer will need to complete the Initialization steps, or the HVAC configuration will need to be pushed to the thermostat from the engine commissioning tool after the RoomID has been set in the Parameter Menu.
- It is assumed that if you have received your e7 thermostat and you are ready to begin the installation, Honeywell has determined through the sales process that the selected HVAC equipment is compatible with the selected e7 thermostat. If you believe this assumption to be incorrect, or you have not validated that the e7 is compatible with the selected HVAC equipment, contact our technical support service centre before installation.
- Always research thermostat placement carefully before you pull the cable. Consult with your system provider on the best placement and follow their guidance to mount it in a neutral location. The cost of poor thermostat placement is high, both in loss of guest comfort and unnecessary energy costs. Follow these guidelines to determine the appropriate installation location for the thermostat:
- Place thermostats away from windows to avoid bathing the thermostat with solar radiation, which invalidates the unit’s temperature sensitivity.
- Never place thermostats on a wall where an open bathroom or closet door will cover them. A covered thermostat will not register the correct room temperature
- Take care to place thermostats out of the direct line of air movement. A thermostat mounted on a wall directly across from HVAC discharge vents will be surrounded by air that quickly satisfies the thermostat’s guest temperature setting but does not register the room’s overall temperature. Avoid placing a thermostat on a wall near the fan coil. This causes a waterfall effect of heated or cooled air movement across the thermostat which triggers the HVAC’s response to false room temperature readings.
- Beware of value engineering proposals during construction; such as optimizing room wiring to minimize cable runs between thermostats and the HVAC placement. Although this type of value engineering can save money, it often results in higher energy use and compromised guest comfort.
- Make sure:
- The thermostat is mounted on the wall with the bottom of the unit about 5′ from the floor.
- The unit is level
- The manufacturer’s installation instructions are followed.
Thermostat Initialization
Power up for the first time puts the e7 thermostat into Initialization Mode.
This mode provides the contractor or electrician with a simple setup for the
thermostat to control the intended HVAC equipment before normal use. Under
normal operating conditions, the e7 thermostat is designed to provide energy
management and operates the HVAC equipment using stand-alone energy management
configurations. These configurations are intended to utilize a wired door
switch and the e7’s onboard motion sensor for occupancy detection logic.

e7 Commissioning/Room Function Tests
The e7 Thermostat is an energy management solution typically deployed in one
of the following scenarios: Digital Thermostat with EMS – A programmable DDC
thermostat designed for in-room energy management that typically requires a
wired or wireless door switch monitor and a motion sensor for nonnetworked in-
room energy management. Digital Thermostat with Centrally Controlled EMS – A
programmable DDC thermostat designed for inroom energy management that
typically requires a wired or wireless door switch monitor and motion sensor.
The thermostat is a wired or wireless network to a server that monitors the system through the use of INNCOM’s INNControl 3 Supervisor software. Digital Thermostat with Centrally Controlled EMS + Complex Applications – In addition to the above Centrally Controlled EMS application, the e7 can be augmented with a full range of guest amenities, lighting control, drapery control, Central Electronic Lock Interfaces (CELS), and other third-party integrations.
IMPORTANT
It is strongly recommended the following tests are conducted during the
commissioning of the e7 to ensure proper operation and connectivity to the
system is achieved.
ENTER SERVICE MODE
Some of the following tests require entering the e7 SERVICE MODE. To enter
SERVICE MODE, complete these steps:
- Press and hold o F|o C.
- Press and hold MODE.
- Press and hold FAN.
- Release o F|o C.
PIR MOTION SENSOR TEST
- Enter SERVICE MODE.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select PIr.
- Press MODE to begin the test. The unit beeps as it detects motion and the display shows a count of the number of motion pulses detected.
- If there is no audible beep, then the on-board motion sensor is faulty. Contact Honeywell for a replacement e7 thermostat.
DOOR SENSOR TEST
- Enter SERVICE MODE.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select dor.
- Press MODE to begin the test. When the door switch opens (door is open), the e7 emits an audible beep and the display shows a count of the number of times the door status changes from closed to open.
- If there is no audible beep, then double-check the door sensor wiring.
WINDOW SENSOR TEST
- Enter SERVICE MODE.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select WIn.
- Press MODE to begin the test. When the window switch opens (window is open), the e7 emits an audible beep and the display shows a count of the number of times the window status changes from closed to open.
- If there is no audible beep, then double-check the window sensor wiring.
WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) TEST
NOTE: This test is only required when the e7 is wired or wireless
connected to the INNControl 3 servers in a networked energy management system.
The WAN Test verifies the wireless RF or wired RS485 network connection with
the INNControl 3 server.
- Enter SERVICE MODE.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select WAn.
- Press MODE to begin the test. This test invokes a command from the INNControl 3 server to scroll the Room ID across the display.
- If the proper ROOM ID does not scroll across the display, then it is likely the INNControl 3 server is not set up, or the RF channel, RF PAN, or RoomID of the e7 is set incorrectly.
- If in a wired configuration, check the RS485 wiring.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY TEST
NOTE: The e7 thermostat only displays the measured relative humidity in
SERVICE MODE.
- Enter SERVICE MODE.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select rH.
- Press MODE to display the relative humidity percentage.
HVAC CONTROL TEST
- Exit SERVICE MODE by pressing o F|o C.
- Once in normal operating mode, the thermostat displays the set and measured temperature, and the current operating mode.
- Using the UP/DOWN arrow, increase or decrease the temperature by 3-4 degrees. Listen for the on-board relays to engage and for the HVAC to turn on. Verify the HVAC system is reaching the set temperature.
Normal Operation Mode
During normal operation, guests or other end-users can make the following
settings for a room from the e7 thermostat interface.
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE SET POINT
Enter a room temperature set point using the thermostat UP/DOWN keys. The set
point low limit is 65 o F, the high limit is 80 o F (adjustable).
- The e7 room temperature set point defaults to 72 oF (adjustable) when the guest enters their room for the first time.
- The e7 thermostat displays the temperature set point as a default. If an alternative parameter is displayed (such as measured room temperature), the display reverts to the set point after 10 seconds.
CHANGING TO FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS
- Using the o F|o C button, select whether the temperature set point and room measured temperature is displayed in o C or o.
- Each press of the button toggles the display between Centigrade and Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit – °F is displayed next to the temperature which is shown in 1-degree increments.
- Centigrade – °C is displayed next to the temperature which is shown in 0.5 degree increments.
SETTING THE FAN SPEEDS
Pressing the fan button forces the e7 thermostat to exit the default auto mode
and employ a pre-determined fan speed. Auto Mode – Fan speed and heating or
cooling are automatically selected to raise or lower room temperature based on
the difference between the set point temperature shown on the display and the
measured room temperature. Low, Medium, and High Fan Speed – Pre-determined
fan speeds are selected by pressing the fan button; successive presses
increment the fan speed from low to medium too high (indicated by 1 to 3
vertical dots next to the fan). After the highest fan speed is reached, if the
button is pressed again it initiates another cycle through the available fan
speeds.
SELECTING SYSTEM MODE
Pressing the MODE button cycles the e7 between the Off, Auto, Heat Only, and
Cool Only modes. In each of these modes, the contents of the main display
change accordingly. Note that Auto, Heat Only, and Cool Only have to identify
icons displayed above (Auto) or to the left of the temperature (in which case
the Auto icon is greyed out).
- By default, the thermostat is configured with Off and Auto Modes only.
- In Auto Mode, the measured temperature for the space is compared to the set point. Temperature control is achieved by setting the e7 fan speed to automatic and engaging the heating or cooling valves.
- If the guest selects the fan to run at low speed or high speed via the fan button, then temperature control is delegated to the heating control and cooling control. The fan is no longer modulated until the set point is changed (defaults back to Auto mode) or the Mode button is pressed.
- When the fan is operating under automatic control, the applicable fan speed is chosen based on a dedicated P+I control algorithm to achieve the space’s air temperature set point.
- During normal operation, the measured air temperature of the space is continuously monitored to ensure it does not exceed the temperature protection high limit of 90 F or fall below the temperature protection low limit of 50 F (the Danger Bands).
- If the measured air temperature in the space exceeds the Danger Band limits, then the fan coil unit will be overridden to a constant enabled state, the fan speed will modulate under its dedicated P+I control, and the heating coil control valve and cooling coil control valve will modulate under their dedicated P+I control to achieve a measured air temperature within the temperature protection limits.
Advanced Configuration
Once installed, the e7 requires very little additional configuration. However,
there are advanced features in the SERVICE MODE that can be used in complex
networks. Setting the Advanced Configurations usually requires the use of the
property-specific documentation and references to INNCOM’s Application Note
AN323 Binding INNCOM Devices is required for device-specific Address teaching
and binding functions.
VIP (LIMITED ENERGY MANAGEMENT) MODE
A special mode that can be enabled when an important or discriminating guest
is checked into a room. A room placed in VIP mode uses expanded target
temperature control bands (allows guests to select higher / lower than normal
room target temperatures) and does not use larger temperature control bands
when the room becomes unoccupied or the room window or balcony door is open.
To activate VIP mode for a room for 3 days, perform the following steps:
- Press and hold MODE
- Press and hold FAN
- Press and release the UP arrow button.
- In VIP mode the display will read LEn for 2 seconds, then return to normal operation.
ENTER SERVICE MODE
Most of the following features require being in SERVICE MODE. To enter SERVICE
MODE do the following:
- Press and hold o F|o C.
- Press and hold MODE.
- Press and hold FAN.

SETUP ROOM ID
See the Initial Setup section in this document.
SETTING THE PRIVATE AREA NETWORK (PAN ID)
This setting is used to segregate the RF Room Gateway device (typically the e7
thermostat) into sub-networks on the DeepMesh Network which are managed by a
router – either B574 or B578. The valid ID range is 0-255; refer to the
property-specific documentation for applicable PAN ID settings. To set the PAN
ID, do the following:
- Enter SERVICE MODE.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select PAn.
- Press MODE
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select the valid PAN ID value.
- Press FAN to store the value in memory.
SETTING THE RF CHANNEL)
NOTE: To avoid interference with commonly used 802.11 WIFI RF channels,
it is recommended to use ZigBee Channels 15, 20, 25 and 26. The RF channel
value physically represents the RF radio frequency band used by the radio in
the e7 thermostat. INNCOM RF devices use ZigBee IEEE 802.15.4 RF channels
11-26 which are 2Mhz wide RF channels between 2.405 GHz and 2.483 Ghz. Two
Honeywell Integrated Room Automation devices can communicate with each other
only if using the same RF channel. To set the RF
channel, complete these steps:
- Enter SERVICE MODE.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select rF.
- Press MODE
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select the valid PAN ID value.
- Press FAN to store the value in memory.
TEACHING A DEVICE ADDRESS
Teaching a device address binds a device to the e7 by passing the Room ID, PAN
ID, and RF channel to that device with this function. Do the following:
- Set the Room ID, PAN ID and RF Channel in the e7 according to the instructions in this manual.
- In SERVICE MODE, use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select Adr.
- Press FAN to initiate a reverse bind, or press MODE to initiate a forward bind. Refer to device-specific binding documentation to determine which type of binding to use.
- Refer to INNCOM Application Note 323 for device-specific Address Teach instructions.
TEACHING A DEVICE I/O MAP
In addition to setting the RF parameters (Room ID, PAN ID, RF Channel/RF Tx
Power), the Binding process can also set an I/O Map in the target device
getting bound. Follow these steps:
- Set the Room ID, PAN ID and RF Channel in the e7 according to the instructions in this manual.
- In SERVICE MODE, use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select Io.
- Press FAN to initiate a reverse bind or press MODE to initiate a forward bind. Refer to device-specific binding documentation to determine which type of binding to use
- Refer to INNCOM Application Note 323 for device-specific I/O Map Teach instructions.
BINDING A REMOTE DEVICE
This function is used to open a remote bind window for devices that do not
have a user interface such as a MODEVA or EVORA. The address should match the
selected value to open a 120-second window for binding a third-party device,
such as an RF Door Lock. To bind a remote device, do the following:
- Set the Room ID, PAN ID and RF Channel in the e7 following instructions in this manual.
- In SERVICE MODE, use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to select bnd.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrow to select the matching address value.
- Press MODE to initiate a reverse bind or press MODE to initiate a forward bind. Refer to device-specific binding documentation to determine which type of binding to use
