The newer homes have Ecobee thermostat. I’m a 65 year old female and figured it out just by looking around in it. No manual. I downloaded the Ecobee app on my phone and made it even more simple. I have mine on auto and set the heat temperature and the AC temperature. Went in to time zones Home, Away,Sleep and set the times these should turn on and at what temperature. My sleep mode turns on at 8pm and lowers the temp down to 72. Home mode kicks on at 8AM and the temp is 74. I set the humidity level at 40% and also set a timer for air ducts to recirculate the air ducts at least 10 minutes every hour. That helps maintain correct humidity. Just make sure you download the app to your control unit. The apps make figuring it all out really simple vs standing their in front of the unit for 20 minutes.
