The Genius Hub is always learning the Footprint schedule in the background so it will be ready when you come to change it.

In Footprint mode there are three new settings to select between based on how you want Footprint mode to work in this zone. They are:

  • Comfort: The zone will heat both reactively and predictively. The Genius Hub will use occupancy to heat the zone before you arrive and it will bridge any gaps for short periods of time that the zone was not used. If the zone was used at a particular time in the past 2 weeks it will be heated for the same time this week. The zone will also control to the active temperature if triggers are detected for more than the start after time if it did not expect you to be there, and it will turn off after the Stop after time of not sensing anyone in the room.
  • Eco: The zone will heat both reactively and predictively. The Genius Hub will use occupancy information to heat the zone when you normally use the zone. If the zone was used at a particular time in the past 2 weeks it will be heated for the same time this week. The zone will also control to the active temperature if triggers are detected for more than the start after time if it did not expect you to be there, and it will turn off after the Stop after time of not sensing anyone in the room.
  • Super-Eco: The zone will only heat reactively. The zone will also control to the active temperature if triggers are detected for more than the start after time if it did not expect you to be there, and it will turn off after the Stop after time of not sensing anyone in the room.

Note

We recommend that unless you want to user Super-Eco mode, the system is left in Timer mode for at least 1 week so the predictive schedule can start to be built in the background as occupancy is detected.

There are five options unique to footprint mode, which should be configured before you use Footprint mode

...

  • Starts from: This is the time which the zone will stop responding to occupancy and is normally set for roughly the same time the when the last people go to bed. The default setting for the Starts from time  is: 23:00
  • Ends at: This is the time when the zone starts reacting to occupancy again and is normally set for when the people get up in the morning. The default setting for the Starts from time  is: 06:00

Zone Setup

Other settings you may need to adjust prior to using Footprint mode are in the Zone Setup page. This can be accessed by:

  1. Go to the room you want to setup for Footprint mode.
  2. Click on the zone sub-menu
  3. Click on 'Zone Setup'

The relevant settings you may want to adjust are under the header 'Zone reactivity settings' and Pre-heat. For more information see the Setup Pages chapter.

Info

We recommend that Pre-heat be enabled if you are going to use Footprint mode as otherwise the room will only start to heat at the beginning of each predicted heating period, rather than the room be warm ready for when you normally use the room.

As the automatically created schedule is based on when people actually use the room rather than when it is thought people use the room the schedule can be more accurate than a manually created schedule in Timer mode. If you want to use the automatically created schedule in Timer mode, you can copy it by:

...

  1. Go to the room you want to copy the schedule between modes
  2. Click on the zone sub-menu
  3. Click on 'Copy to Timer'

...

  1. Go to the room you want to copy the Footprint Options from
  2. Click on the zone sub-menu
