If you have a room sensor Room Sensor that is not being used in a room zone to control heating, you can use it to control the smart plugs or the single/dual channel receiversSmart Plugs.

Step-by-step guide:

  1. Create a new room zone on the app which is a 'radiator roomRadiator Room'.

  2. Add a smart plug into it (by using the blue spanner and cog button on the 'add a device' menu on the setup page for that roomSmart Plug into it. Note the ID number of the smart plug is referenced on the 'Choose a datapoint or node to assign to a room' pageSmart Plug normally on the side of it.

    1. Set the 'Successive minutes of activity to trigger heatingHeating Start After' to 1 minutes minimum.

    2. Set the 'Successive minutes of inactivity to stop heatingHeating Stop After' to as long as you want the smart plug Smart Plug to stay on for.

  3. Set the 'active Active temperature' on the main page for that room to 28º the 'Footprint Options' under the Rome Submenu (•••) to 28º, to make sure that the room is always cold enough to call the smart plug Smart Plug on.


Info

The smart plug Smart Plug in this case thinks it is being used to control an electric heater. If you leave the room on the app in Super Eco mode then it will only turn on the switch when it senses activity, and if you put it into Eco or Comfort mode then it will keep the switch on when it learns that the area of the property is being used.

You cannot share the Room Sensor between a room that is used for heating with 'footprint modeFootprint Mode' and a room that is used to control a smart plug Smart Plug also using 'footprint modeFootprint Mode'. This is because the occupancy triggers are taken from the Room Sensor and are applied to the first room that the Room Sensor is assigned to. This means that only one of the rooms will work in the 'footprint modeFootprint Mode'. If the Room Sensor is shared between rooms then the temperature can be applied to multiple rooms.
