  • The linked zone is the 'child' which will do what it is told by the 'parent' zone.
  • A child can have multiple parents, for example a family bathroom could follow the heating schedule of the 2 bedrooms whose occupants use the bathroom. In this example, when either of the bedrooms call for heat the bathroom will control to its own temperature as well.
  • A parent can have multiple children, for example a bedroom could instruct the landing and the family bathroom to call for heat when the bedroom is being heated.
  • A different temperature is allowed for a child zone  as as you may want a bathroom to be heated to a higher temperature than a bedroom, or a utility to be heated to a hallway to be heated to a lower temperature than the rooms around it.
  • The child will only listen to the parent, as to when to call for heat, and so this zone cannot be individually heated without one of the parent zones calling for heat.
Info

If the schedule of a parent zone is updated, this change will automatically update for the child zone as well.

Info

The zones which the child zone is following is shown underneath the Active temperature, along with the active temperature of the zone and an indicator as to whether that zone is calling for heat at present.
