An introduction

When you are logged in and have finished the tour, the first screen you will see is the My House page. This is an overview of your system and you can access any of your zones from this page. 

• To access the schedule for any of your zones, click on the respective zone tile. 
• To return to this page at any time, just click on the My House icon at the top-left of the screen.

Your zones

The tiles provide a quick summary of each of your zones:

<image of a tile>

• When the tile is blue, the zone is up to temperature and is not calling for heat. When the tile is orange, the zone is trying to heat up and so calling for heat (or on if it is an On/Off room). 
• The mode icon shows the current heating mode for the zone. 
• The temperatures are made up of 2 sections:

1. The measured temperature: This is the current temperature in the zone, and is displayed in any room where the devices in the zone feed the temperature back to the app (such as zones with a Room Sensor or Thermostat).
2. The set temperature: The temperature the zone is currently controlling to. 

• The pre-heat symbol will be lit up when the zone is heating due to the pre-heat settings. For more information on pre-heat, please see the later chapter.
• The occupancy symbol shows when occupancy is detected in a zone. check_me
  
  • In On/Off rooms, only the current state of the devices in that room is displayed.

To view a zone in more detail, click on that zone's tile.

Quick actions

To carry out an action that which affects a number of zones you can use the quick actions which are located at the bottom of the screen. These actions do not affect On/Off zone, to affect these zones go to the respective zone and change the mode to Override or Off.

• The Override action allows you to override multiple rooms to the same temperature and to the same time, in one action.
  
  • When you click on Override the Genius system will ask you which zones you would like to override. You can choose just one zone or multiple zones. To select all of the zones, click on the link at the top of the list. check_me
  • Next, select the temperature to you wish to set in the selected zones. This temperature can be higher or lower than the schedules temperature in the zone, so you can use this feature to turn the heating off early if you are leaving the house earlier than usual.
  • Now you need to choose the how long the override is to affect the selected zones. This can be set from just 5 minutes to 24 hours, and so can be used so give the room a boost on those colder days or turn the heating off if you are going out for the day.
• The Restore action cancels either the Override or the Off action which is set in the zones and reverts the selected zones back to their previous mode. This means that if you turn your heating to 'Off' over the Summer, you can just click 'Restore' to put your heating back on for the Winter.
• The Off action turns all of your heating zones to Off mode.

More information

Zone list

On a tablet or computer all of the zones are displayed as a list on the left hand side of the screen. These give you a quick way to navigate between your zones and they also show a quick summary similar to the tiles:

• The left hand indicator shows whether the zone is requesting heat. If the indicator is blue, the zone is up to temperature and not calling for heat. When the tile is orange, the zone is trying to heat up and so calling for heat (or on if it is an On/Off room). 
• The mode icon shows the current heating mode for the zone. 
• For zones with a measured temperature, the current temperature of the zone is displayed on the zone list. 
• The pre-heat symbol will be lit up when the zone is heating due to the pre-heat settings. For more information on pre-heat, please see the later chapter.
• The occupancy symbol shows when occupancy is detected in a zone. check_me
