The Genius Hub system can control a wide variety of wet underfloor heating, in terms of the configuration of the underfloor heating, the floor covering and the hardware that is already part of the underfloor heating system. It can also control electric underfloor heating with the Powered Room Thermostat.
General Information
Standard wiring diagrams are provided with the system. To download a copy of the wiring diagrams, visit: https://www.geniushub.co.uk/wiring All devices which control the heating in individual rooms and are purchased as part of a system direct from Genius Hub, such as Underfloor Receiver Units, Genius Radiator Valves or Room Sensors, are labelled with the room they control and are pre-linked to zones on the app. |
The Single Channel Receiver is rated to 3A maximum. It can only be used to switch a zone valve, underfloor heating wiring centre or actuator and not a circulation pump. Wiring to a circulation pump directly will result in damaging the receiver units, voiding the warranty! The Electric Relay is rated to 11A maximum. The Electric Switch is rated to 13A maximum. The Powered Room Thermostat is rated to 16A maximum.

Do not attempt to wire in any devices if you are not 100% sure that you know what you are doing. Danger of electric shock! All wiring should conform to IEE regulations. The boiler and underfloor heating for the new devices must be electrically isolated before you commence work on any wiring! |
Underfloor Wiring Centre
Depending on the control devices purchased, the Genius Hub system can be wired in a variety of ways, and to different voltage actuators and wiring centres. If you are using our Underfloor Wiring Centre, the terminals on the right-hand-side for the Manifold Pump and Underfloor Zone Valve are volt-free. See our wiring diagrams (link above) for how to connect to a 230v Pump/Zone Valve.
Powered Room Thermostat (Switched Live connections, or Single Zone / Underfloor Pump, Electric Underfloor)
If you are controlling an underfloor heating wiring centre or actuators which are 230v the Powered Room Thermostat will be used per zone controlled. If there are any existing controls, such as a thermostat, the wiring to these will need to be removed. The Powered Room Thermostat is wired into the room being controlled so it can detect the temperature, not near the actuators / wiring centre.
If you are only controlling a single zone of underfloor heating, you are likely to need to switch the underfloor circulation pump directly from the Powered Room Thermostat along with any zone valves or actuators. The Electric Switch can also be used in these situations.
In normal operation there will be no lights when the unit is off and one red light to the bottom-right of the display when heating.
Electric Switch (Switched Live connections, or Single Zone / Underfloor Pump)
If you are controlling an underfloor heating wiring centre or actuators which are 230v the Electric Switch will be used per zone controlled. If there are any existing controls, such as a thermostat, the wiring to these will need to be removed. The Electric Switch is often wired near the actuators / wiring centre and the Room Sensor or Room Thermostat placed in the room with the underfloor heating.
If you are only controlling a single zone of underfloor heating, you are likely to need to switch the underfloor circulation pump directly from the controller along with any zone valves or actuators. The Powered Room Thermostat be used in these situations.
In normal operation there will be no lights when the unit is not heating and one or more red lights near the button when heating.
Electric Relay (Low Voltage/Volt free connections or Switched Live connections)
The Electric Relay can control an underfloor heating wiring centre or actuators which are 12v/24v/230v and will be used per zone controlled. If there are any existing controls, such as a thermostat, the wiring to these will need to be removed. The Electric Relay is often wired near the actuators / wiring centre and the Room Sensor or Room Thermostat placed in the room with the underfloor heating.
