Zone reactivity settings (Zones with a Room Sensor only)

 For zones with a Room Sensor, you can change the reactivity settings of Footprint mode from here. the 3 changes you can make are:

  • Occupancy detection sensitivity: This determines how sensitive the Room Sensors are to detecting movement in the room. The default value is 70%, as our testing showed this is snesitive sensitive enough to detect small movements from people but not sensitive enough to trigger the heating due to pets moving about the room. However if you find that the system is not detecting you when you are in a room, we recommend adjusting this by 10% each time. 

    • Note

      Setting this above 90% may result in false triggers being detected.


  • Heating trigger on after: This setting is for how many consecutive minutes occupancy must be detected before the heating reacts to a person using the room. The default value is 2 minutes, as this is long enough to allow you to walk through the room or get a glass of water, and short enough to bring the heating on quickly once you are using the room. 
    • Note that the system needs to see occupancy in each consecutive minute to trigger the heating on. So if you set it to 5 minutes it is vary hard to bring the heating on as occupancy will need to be seen in; minute 1 and minute 2 and minute 3 and minute 4 and minute 5 and then it will turn on.
  • Heating trigger off afterThis setting is for how many long occupancy must not be detected before the heating switches off in a room. The default value is 20 minutes, as this is long enough to pick up small movements if you are sitting down and watching TV or leave the room for a couple minutes to answer the door, and short enough that the heating won't continue running long after you are no longer using the room.

  • Each device is made up of channels, such as 'Battery Level' and ' Measured Temperature'. For more information, see this article.

Override Temperature Limiting

The user of the app has full control of the system, however in a number of scenarios you may not want the occupant of the room to have such a broad level of control. This option allows the occupants in the room to trigger the heating outside of the normal heating schedule, but only to a limited upper temperature.
