This package includes 1 Trane Z-Wave thermostat. A Schlage LiNK bridge is required for full functionality. Bridges are available in Schlage LiNK starter kits.

Schlage LiNK System Components
Schlage LiNK system components
*This package only includes the thermostat. A bridge is required for full functionality and is available in the starter kit.
It works like this:
  • Through your computer or cell phone, the bridge receives a signal from your home's wireless network.
  • The bridge sends another wireless signal to the thermostat.
  • The thermostat adjusts.

Computer and Wireless Phone Interface

Computer and phone interfaces

A user-friendly interface is at the heart of the Schlage LiNK system and makes it easy to take advantage of all that Schlage LiNK has to offer. Simply log on to your computer or Internet-enabled phone and you're in control. With just a few simple clicks, you can adjust your thermostat and get alerts.

System Requirements FAQs
  1. Do I need a wireless network in my home?
    No, but you will need a high speed Internet connection (cable modem, dsl, etc.) and an open port on your router to plug in the bridge.

  2. What kind of cell phone do I need to have?
    Nearly any modern cell phone can receive text alerts from Schlage LiNK. But to take full advantage of the system's features, you'll need a data enabled phone platform like Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone. To verify your phone is compatible with the Schlage LiNK System, please check with your carrier.

  3. Do I have to pay to download the software to my phone?
    It depends. Some service providers charge a fee, while others don't. To know for sure, you'll need to check with your carrier.

  4. What is the range of the Schlage LiNK bridge?
    The Schlage LiNK bridge can relay signals up to 100 feet--even through walls. Without walls in the way, it can broadcast even farther.

  5. Does the system require a monthly subscription fee?
    A minimal monthly subscription fee is required. Even if you choose not to subscribe, Schlage LiNK will still function as a thermostat.

  6. Is it secure?
    Like all Trane and Schlage products, Schlage LiNK is very secure. The online portal features security measures similar to those used in online banking systems.

  7. Can I install the Trane thermostat myself?
    Yes. In most cases, this thermostat can be successfully completed as a do-it-yourself project. However, there are a wide variety of heating and air conditioning systems which may add complexity in some cases. If you are unsure about any step of the installation, you should contact Schlage LiNK customer service or a professional heating and cooling contractor.

  8. Can I enroll more than 1 thermostat on my Schlage LiNK account?
    Yes. Multiple Z-Wave enabled thermostats can be independently controlled and operated with your Schlage LiNK account.

  9. Is the Trane thermostat programmable?
    Yes. The Trane thermostat can be programmed for up to four temperature changes per day. Multiple unique daily schedules can be created. Each daily schedule can be applied to one or more days of the week. Setting the schedule is easily accomplished from your Schlage LiNK web portal. Simply select the schedule you desire using a series of drop down boxes. Additionally, scheduling can also be programmed locally at the thermostat.

  10. What type of alerts will the Trane thermostat provide?
    With an active Schlage LiNK account, the Trane thermostat can provide text message and email alerts including filter change reminders, out-of-range temperature alerts, thermostat keypad changes, and maintenance reminders.

System Requirements FAQs
  1. Do I need a wireless network in my home?
    No, but you will need a high speed Internet connection (cable modem, dsl, etc.) and an open port on your router to plug in the bridge.

  2. What kind of cell phone do I need to have?
    Nearly any modern cell phone can receive text alerts from Schlage LiNK. But to take full advantage of the system's features, you'll need a data enabled phone platform like Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone. To verify your phone is compatible with the Schlage LiNK System, please check with your carrier.

    It depends. Some service providers charge a fee, while others don't. To know for sure, you'll need to check with your carrier.

  4. What is the range of the Schlage LiNK bridge?
    The Schlage LiNK bridge can relay signals up to 100 feet--even through walls. Without walls in the way, it can broadcast even farther. The included light module can increase the range of the system by functioning as a repeater.

Z-Wave. Products that speak Z-Wave work together better.
Z-Wave. The brains behind the brilliance.

Z-Wave is a next-generation wireless "ecosystem" that lets all your home electronics talk to each other, and to you, via remote control. It uses simple, reliable, low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors, and cabinets. Z-Wave functionality can be added to almost any electronic device in your house, even devices that you wouldn't ordinarily think of as "intelligent," such as appliances, window shades, thermostats, and home lighting.

The Schlage LiNK solution lets you control these devices in ways that give you complete command, even when you're not at home yourself. You can control your Z-Wave household remotely from a computer and the Internet from anywhere in the world...even through your cell phone.
