To see the status of the devices on your system, there is a summary page which provides more detailed information along with some options for fixing problems.
To reach the Devices page:
Each of your devices is listed out, along with the zone the device is assigned to and the time since it last communicated.
The current state of the switches is shown as a red or green dot to say whether the switch is currently on or off.
The current battery level for battery powered devices is also shown, with the icon changing colour as the battery drains.
On tablets and desktop a second icon will appear showing the measured temperature from any relevant devices. This appears to the left of the battery icon.
To add extra components to your system, click on the 'Include device' button found in the Quick Actions bar at the bottom of the page. This will take you through to the Doctor to add the device to your system. For more information, see the 'Adding New Devices' Chapter.
For each device, there is a number of actions which can be carried out. These can be found in the device sub-menu.
If you click on the name of any device, the row will expand to show you the current details of this device. Many of these details are the same as the summary for that device displays, but a few new ones may also be displayed:
Stats: Technical information about the device which can be used for troubleshooting.
Details such as Setpoint are often displayed in the format: 16 / 16 °C |
When controlling the hot press (hot water tank) in Irish systems, the Wireless Valves may show FO (fully open) or FC (fully closed) both on the Devices page and on the screen of the device. This is to show that the valves are no longer controlling to the temperature measured by the device and instead being controlled solely by the Genius Hub. The buttons on the device will be disabled whilst the Wireless Valve is in this mode. |
In zones with multiple Radiator Valves or a Radiator Valve and a Room Sensor it is possible that both devices may not read the same temperature. This occurs as the Room Sensor is placed in a sensible location (e.g. chest height on an internal wall) whereas the Radiator Valve is likely to be near the floor, under a window or behind some furniture. If the Radiator Valve is misreading the temeprature then it can be adjusted using this hidden offset.
It is called a hidden offset as the Radiator Valve will continue to show the the same setpoint on the screen as the app, but in the software on the valve it will adjust the setpoint. |
To adjust the Valve Hidden Offset for a Radiator Valve:
