Using a Temporary ON/OFF Zone for Hot Water Control (When Temperature Probe Fails)

If the Hot Water Temperature Probe has failed, you can maintain control of your hot water by creating a temporary ON/OFF zone and assigning your Receiver Unit or Electric Switch to it. This allows the system to continue operating while you await a replacement probe.

Step 1: Create a Temporary ON/OFF Zone

  • Go to the My House sub-menu.

  • Click Create New Zone.

  • Enter a name for the new zone (e.g., Hot Water ON/OFF).

  • Click Create.

Step 2: Remove the Receiver Unit or Electric Switch from the Original Zone

  • Open the Zone Setup for the original Hot Water Zone.

  • Scroll to Zone Devices.

  • Click the bin icon next to the Receiver Unit or Electric Switch to remove it from the zone.

NOTE: This will leave an error message in the system related to the missing probe. We do not recommend deleting the original zone unless the error message causes significant inconvenience.

Step 3: Assign the Channel Receiver to the Temporary Zone

  • In the new Hot Water ON/OFF zone, click Assign Device.

  • Locate the device number (usually printed on a sticker on the device).

  • Select the Receiver Unit or Electric Switch and click Assign Devices.

Step 4: Once the Temperature Probe is Functioning Again

  • Remove the Receiver Unit or Electric Switch from the temporary zone and reassign it to the original Hot Water Zone.

  • Make sure the Temperature Probe is also correctly assigned to the Hot Water Zone.

  • Delete the temporary zone by selecting it, going to Zone Setup, and clicking "Delete This Zone".
