Manual override

...

In many of your zones the devices for that zone will have physical controls you can use to adjust the heating, such as the buttons on a Radiator Valve. From the zone setup pages, you can choose whether these buttons should be permitted to affect the heating in the zone, and how they affect the heating. The default setting for a zone is disabled... check_me

  • When manual override is disabled, any button presses on devices will be ignored by the system and the heating will carry out its normal schedule.
  • When manual override is enabled, the device can be used to put the zone into override mode without having the use the app. When you enable manual override you also choose the duration of the override from the devices in the zone, and the override temperature you want to use if none is selected on the device. 

For more information on manually overriding devices, see the Override Mode chapter. This setting is shown in all zones types. check_me, apart from Group Zones.


Pre-heating

The Genius Hub can automatically calculate the pre-heat duration for a chosen room, so that the room will reach the set temperature at the start of the ‘heating period’, rather than just starting to heat up at that time. Your Genius Hub is adaptive, so it's always learning from the temperature recorded by each room sensor. Using the local weather data and the heating history for each room, it will constantly adjust the pre-heat duration as the weather changes. This default setting for pre-heating is disabled. check_me

When pre-heating is disabled, the system will heat the rooms only during heating periods. For example, if you set a heating period between 14:00 and 16:00 the system will start to heat the room at 14:00.

When pre-heating is enabled, the system will start to heat the room before the start of the heating period so the room is up to temperature at the start of the heating period. For example, if you set a heating period between 14:00 and 16:00 the system will start to heat the room at 13:00 so the zone has reached its set temperature at 14:00. When a zone is pre-heating due, the pre-heating symbol will be coloured to show why the zone is heating before the heating period has started.

When pre-heating is enabled there are a further 2 options:

This setting is only displayed in radiator and underfloor zones which have a device which feed the measured temperature back to the app. check_me

Temperature offset

In some situations the Radiator Valves and Room Sensors can detect a different temperature to one another, for example if the Room Sensor in placed on an external wall it will misread the temperature due to the cool wall. When this happens and it is not feasible to move the Room Sensor due to the layout of the room, the devices can be manually offset so they read the same temperature.

...

  1. Scroll to the 'Temperature offset'
  2. Move the slider to the desired number and the offset will be applied.

<image of temperature offset>

Info

If you have a room in which the Room Sensor is misreading the temperature, resulting in the boiler running when the Radiator Valve has closed you, to calculate the offset of this room:

  • Subtract the measured temperature (displayed on the top left of the zone details) from the set temperature (displayed as 'set' on the top left of the zone details).
    • E.g. Measured temperature = 21.5°C, set temperature = 22.0°C, so 22.0 - 21.5 = 0.5
  • The calculated offset should be positive, and the slider needs to be moved to the nearest 0.5C to this positive value (e.g. +0.5C)

This setting is displayed in any radiator room which has a Room Sensor. check_me

Zone devices

This shows a list of devices assigned to the room. For example a radiator zone will have 1 or more Radiator Valves and likely a Room Sensor. These will be displayed in the list of devices, along with a button to remove the device.

...

  1. Scroll to 'Zone Devices'
  2. Click on the + symbol to expand the list
  3. Click on the Bin icon next to the device you no longer want assigned to the zone to remove the device from the zone

<image of zone devices (1), list expanded (2) and bin icon (3)>

Info

This will only remove the device from the zone, the device will remain linked to your system so it can be assigned to another zone.

actions

The more commonly performed tasks on the setup pages are located on the action bar found at the bottom of the screen. 

<image of quick actions>

  • Assign device: This action allows you to assign a device, already linked to your system, to the zone you are currently viewing. To assign a device:
    1. Click on 'Assign device'.
    2. Find the number of the device you want to assign to the room (this may be printed on a sticker on the device).
    3. Click on

      Select the correct device and click '

      Finish

      Assign Devices'.

      check_me<image of 'assign new device dialog' and finish button>

      Info

      Any devices already assigned are listed, but the toggles are disabled as a device can only be assigned to one room.

  • Link to zone: This links the zone you are viewing to 1 or more other zones. For more information on linking, please see the Linking chapter. to link a zone:  check_meLinked Mode chapter
    1. Click on 'Link to zone'.
    2. Select all of the zones you wish this zone to follow the schedule of.
    3. Click 'Link'.
  • Delete this zone: If you no longer require a zone (for example if you no longer wish to schedule a Smart Plug) you can remove it from the app by clicking this button.
