We have not officially released electric underfloor heating (UFH) and for the moment customers who have electric UFH install the Heatmiser DS1-E. Genius will control the heating in the room via the Electric Switch and either a Room Sensor/Room Thermostat and the DS1-E will limit the floor heating to ensure that it doesn't overheat. You can then configure the DS1-E so that it only uses the floor probe and this can be set to a limit of 20º, 28º or 40º to stop the floor getting too warm. We plan to release full temperature control of electric UFH in a single unit but we have not scheduled a release date for this yet.
If you are going to use the Electric Underfloor Heating in a bathroom or wet room location please find below some tips:
- All wiring must be in accordance with the current I.E.E. (BS 7671) Wiring Regulations.
- The Heatmiser DS1-E and the Electric Switch can be placed either inside or outside the bathroom.If the Heatmiser DS1-E and the Electric Switch will be placed inside the bathroom it needs to comply with the wiring regulations in the UK please see this example.
- The Heatmiser DS1-E and the Electric Switch can be placed at any height above the floor inside or outside the bathroom.
- Living Connect devices in a bathroom wet room location
