The following explains how to apply an offset temperature to the Genius Radiator Valve.

 

  • Sometimes a Genius Radiator Valve can think the room it is situated in is warmer than it is, or indeed cooler,

    which usually happens when the valve is located in either a draughty or a tight space i.e. behind a heavy curtain, behind a large piece of furniture or close to a doorway. The Valve Hidden Offset feature is one way to deal with any discrepancies that you may have noticed; for example if you have multiple valves in the same room, you may have noticed that one radiator turns off sooner than another which could be a cause of where the valve is located; or you may have noticed that the room never appears to reach the target temperature you set on the app.

  • First locate the radiator valve in the room you want to adjust.The number of the Genius Radiator Valve may be located above the battery cover


  • In order to adjust the temperature that the troublesome valve is controlling to you can apply an 'hidden offset’ to it.

    • To increase the heat provided by the Genius Radiator Valve (if the valve is under-reading the temperature) put in a larger value (move the slider to the right).

    • To reduce the heat provided by the Genius Radiator Valve (if the valve is over-reading the temperature) put in a negative value (move the slider to the left).


    To help guide your adjustment, you can look at the charts for that zone; the difference between the red line (measured temperature)and the green line (set temperature) is the amount you want to apply.

    • If the red line (measured temperature) is above the green line (set temperature), the valve is over-reading the temperature and you will want to move the slider left.

    • If the red line (measured temperature) is below the green line (set temperature), the valve is under-reading the temperature and you will want to move the slider right.


    To apply the adjustment:
    Go to the 'Menu' then 'Settings'
    Select 'Devices'
    Select the Genius Radiator Valve in the room you want to adjust
    Go to 'Valve Hidden Offset'
    Set your adjustment as described above



  • Wake up the device by short pressing one of the arrow buttons once.

    The Hub will check that the new offset has been accepted by the Genius Radiator Valve

    Note: If you have multiple Genius Radiator Valves in one room, you can select individual adjustments for each radiator.
