- Device ID: Each device is assigned a unique number so it can be identified on the system.
- Device Summary: The type of the device is listed next, such as Radiator Valve or Room Sensor, along with the room is it assigned to.
- Time since last communication: All devices communicate wirelessly with the system, with battery powered devices and mains powered devices communicating differently.
A battery powered device is asleep most of the time to preserve the battery. These wake up at regular intervals to check for any queued messages. The wake-up intervals can be found here.
A mains powered devices will receive messages as soon as they are queued, but do not communicate regularly. Therefore if no action is required for a mains-powered device, this time since last communication can be many hours.

- ID: The default sorting option, with devices sorted by the ID number found on the left hand side of each row
- Location: The list will be sorted by the zones each device is assigned to. Devices which have not been assigned to a zone will appear at the top of the list.
- Type: Devices will be grouped by type, so all of the Radiator Valves, Room Sensors etc. will be displayed together.
- Battery: Battery powered devices will the lowest battery level will be displayed at the top of the list with mains-powered devices at the bottom of the list.
- Last Communication: The devices which the Genius Hub has not communicated with for the longest will be at the top of the list. For more information on communication times, please see this article.
- Air Temperature: Devices Devices which measure the temeprature temperature will be at the top of the page with the top of the list showing the devices measuring the lowest temperatures.
...
- Device Version: This is the model number of the device, and can be used to troubleshooting if there is a problem with the device.
- Setpoint: This is the temperature a device is controlling to, e.g. what temperature the Genius Valve will control the zone to.
- Air Temperature: The current measured temperature detected by the device.
- Relay Switch: This shows whether the switch in the device, such as whether the Smart Plug has the socket on the front active or if the Single Channel Receiver is calling for heat.
- Valve Hidden Offset: This allows you to adjust the temperature that the Genius Valve controls to. For more information, see the section below.
Stats: Technical information about the device which can be used for troubleshooting.
Info Details such as Setpoint are often displayed in the format: 14 -> 16 °C
The first value is current value reported by the device, and the second value is the pending value to be sent by the Genius Hub. Most of the time, both of these values will be the same as the device has communicated with the Genus Hub and gotten the temperature to control to, in these cases only one value will be shown. If the setpoint has recently changed (e.g. the start of a heating period). then the first value will read the old setpoint and the second value will show the new value.Info When controlling the hot press (hot water tank) in Irish systems, the Wireless Valves may show FO (fully open) or FC (fully closed) both on the Devices page and on the screen of the device. This is to show that the valves are no longer controlling to the temperature measured by the device and instead being controlled solely by the Genius Hub. The buttons on the device will be disabled whilst the Wireless Valve is in this mode.

Valve Hidden Offset
In zones with multiple Radiator Valves or a Radiator Valve and a Room Sensor it is possible that both devices may not read the same temperature. This occurs as the Room Sensor is placed in a sensible location (e.g. chest height on an internal wall) whereas the Radiator Valve is likely to be near the floor, under a window or behind some furniture. If the Radiator Valve is misreading the temperature then it can be adjusted using this hidden offset.
...
- Find the number of the Radiator Valve from the relevant Zone Setup.
- From the Home Screen, click on the Main Menu.
- Click on Settings, then Devices.
- Select the Radiator Valve from the list.
- If the Radiator Valve needs to control to a higher temperature to match the temperature measured by the Room Sensor set a positive Valve Offset. If the Radiator Valve needs to control to a lower temperature, set a negative Valve Offset.

Valve Responsiveness
In zones with multiple Radiator Valves or a Radiator Valve and a Room Sensor it is possible that both devices may not read the same temperature. This occurs as the Room Sensor is placed in a sensible location (e.g. chest height on an internal wall) whereas the Radiator Valve is likely to be near the floor, under a window or behind some furniture. If the Radiator Valve is misreading the temperature then it can be adjusted using this hidden offset.
| Info |

It is called a hidden offset as the Radiator Valve will continue to show the the same setpoint on the screen as the app, but in the software on the valve it will adjust the setpoint. |
To adjust the Valve Hidden Offset for a Radiator Valve:
- Find the number of the Radiator Valve from the relevant Zone Setup.
- From the Home Screen, click on the Main Menu.
- Click on Settings, then Devices.
- Select the Radiator Valve from the list.

Temperature Offset
If the Powered Room Thermostat is installed in some conditions it can mis-read the temperature (such as in a hollow wall in flats causing it to detect the temperature behind the wall, not in the room). If the Powered Room Thermostat is misreading the temperature then it can be adjusted using this slider.
To adjust the Valve Hidden Offset for a Powered Room Thermostat:
- Find the number of the Powered Room Thermostat from the relevant Zone Setup.
- From the Home Screen, click on the Main Menu.
- Click on Settings, then Devices.
- Select the Powered Room Thermostat from the list.
- If the Powered Room Thermostat needs to control to a higher temperature set a positive offset. If the Powered Room Thermostat needs to control to a lower temperature, set a negative offset.
Screen Brightness
The LED brightness on the Powered Room Thermostat can be adjusted for the room it is placed in. In a conservatory or a room with bright sunlight the screen may need to be set to a high brightness to be able to see it clearly. In a bedroom however it is likely that the brightness will need to be turned down, or even turned off when it is not being interacted with. The setting which can be changed is the brightness when the device is not being interacted with; when a button is pressed it always goes to full brightness.
To adjust the Screen Brightness for the Powered Room Thermostat:
- Find the number of the Powered Room Thermostat from the relevant Zone Setup.
- From the Home Screen, click on the Main Menu.
- Click on Settings, then Devices.
- Select the Powered Room Thermostat from the list.
- If you want the screen brightness to be brighter all of the time, increase the percentage. If you want the screen to be dimmer, set a lower percentage. If it is set to 0%, the screen will be off until a button is pressed on the device.
