  • Device Version: This is the model number of the device, and can be used to troubleshooting if there is a problem with the device.
  • Setpoint: This is the temperature a device is controlling to, e.g. what temperature the Genius Wireless Radiator Valve will control the zone to.
  • Air Temperature: The current measured temperature detected by the device.
  • Relay Switch: This shows whether the switch in the device, such as whether the Smart Plug has the socket on the front active or if the Single Channel Receiver is calling for heat.
  • Valve Hidden Offset: This allows you to adjust the temperature that the Genius Wireless Radiator Valve controls to. For more information, see the section below.
  • Stats: Technical information about the device which can be used for troubleshooting.

    Info

    Details such as Setpoint are often displayed in the format: 14 -> 16 °C
    The first value is current value reported by the device, and the second value is the pending value to be sent by the Genius Hub. Most of the time, both of these values will be the same as the device has communicated with the Genus Hub and gotten the temperature to control to, in these cases only one value will be shown. If the setpoint has recently changed (e.g. the start of a heating period). then the first value will read the old setpoint and the second value will show the new value.


    Info

    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.

Wireless Radiator Valve

Valve Hidden Offset

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 temperature then it can be adjusted using this hidden offset.

...

  1. Find the number of the Radiator Valve from the relevant Zone Setup.
  2. From the Home Screen, click on the Main Menu.
  3. Click on Settings, then Devices.
  4. Select the Radiator Valve from the list.
  5. If the Radiator Valve needs to control to a higher temperature to match the temperature measured by the Room Sensor set a positive Valve Offset. If the Radiator Valve needs to control to a lower temperature, set a negative Valve Offset.

Valve Responsiveness

If a Genius Wireless Radiator Valve is being installed on a radiator which is over-sized for the room, it can cause the radiator to heat up too quickly for accurate control. If this is the case, the Genius Wireless Radiator Valve can be 'slowed down' so the heating does not overshoot the set temperature.
