Accessing your system
There are two ways of accessing your Genius Hub system, depending on whether you are using an Android/Apple device or a computer.
On an Android/Apple device
On a mobile device (such as a smartphone, iPad or tablet), you can download the Genius Hub app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
The app is available on Android versions 6 and above, and iOS 12 and above.
On a web browser
On a computer, or a device not running Android/Apple, you should access your system via our web app. This is found by going to our website and clicking on 'My Hub' at the top right of the screen, or by navigating to: www.geniushub.co.uk/app
Logging onto your system for the first time
To log onto your system for the first time:
-
Open the app on your phone or tablet, or go to the web app on a computer.
-
On the Welcome page, in the username field, enter the 8 blue characters found on the underside of the Genius Hub. These are behind the removable back plate that is used to attach the Genius Hub to the wall. Slide the back plate down to remove it from the back of the Genius Hub.
This is your temporary username and you can change it to something more memorable once you have logged in.-
Enter only the numbers and letters (no spaces or symbols).
-
This field is not case-sensitive.
-
-
Leave the password field blank (when you choose your own username, you will also set the password you wish to use on your system).
-
Click 'Log In'.
Once you have registered your system
To log onto your system once you have chosen your own username and password:
-
Open the app on your phone or tablet, or go to the web app on a computer.
-
On the Welcome page, enter your chosen username and password in their respective fields.
-
These fields are case-sensitive, so be careful when entering your login details.
-
Registering the system
To secure your system and to choose a memorable username and password, you need to register your system.
You can also register the system from the System tile in the app, once you have logged in using the temporary username.
To register the system:
|

-
On the Welcome page, click on 'Create Account'.

These fields are case-sensitive, so be careful when entering your login details, especially on a mobile device where it may auto-capitalise your typing.

Enter the contact details of the owner of the system.

Select the location of your system. This is where the system is physically located, not the billing address or similar. This information is used to collect the weather data for your system.

If you contact Genius Hub, you may be asked for your username to identify your system, but you will never be asked for your password. Do not disclose your password to anyone who you do not want to have control over your heating.
Genius Hub will contact you on the details you provide from time to time to inform you of the latest updates to the app and new features for you to enjoy.

-
Click on the Main Menu at the top-right corner of the app.
