In Footprint mode, the system will schedule the heating automatically so you don't have to think about when you use the room. The system will learn when you use the room by the occupancy triggers detected from a Wireless Room Sensor or Wireless Motion Sensor and build the schedule from these triggers. The system will also react to when the room is used, so if you leave the room early or enter the room outside of the predicted schedule the system will also modify the heating accordingly. 

Footprint mode consists of 2 main parts:

...

• From the My House page, click on the zone you wish to view.
• Ensure the zone is in Footprint mode and on the Quick Actions bar select the Eco setting.
• The timerbars will now populate with the predictive schedule.

Quick Actions

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 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 'trigger on' time if it did not expect you to be there, and it will turn off after the 'trigger off' time of not sensing anyone in the room.
• Eco: The zone will heat 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 'trigger on' time if it did not expect you to be there, and it will turn off after the 'trigger off' time of not sensing anyone in the room.
• Super-Eco: The zone will will only heat reactively. The zone will control to the active temperature if triggers are detected for more than the 'trigger on' time, and it will turn off after the 'trigger off' time of not sensing anyone in the room.

Footprint Options

There are five options unique to the heating in Footprint mode, which should be configured before you use this mode.

...

Three of the five options are related to the temperature the zone will control to based on the occupancy in the room. These are:

• Active temperature: This  This is the temperature the zone will heat to when the zone is heating due to the predictive heating schedule or when the system is reacting to occupancy. The default setting for the Active temperature is: 21°C
• Away temperature: The  The away temperature is similar to the default temperature for Timer mode. This is the temperature the heating will control to if there is no-one using the zone and there is no predicted schedule. The default setting for the Away temperature is: 14°C
• Night temperature: This  This is the temperature which the zone will control to during the 'night period'. The default setting for the Night temperature is: 16°C

The other two options are to schedule to 'Night Period'. This is the duration where the system will not respond to occupancy, and is useful for when everyone has gone to bed. In a bedroom, this will stop the heating reacting to every time someone rolls over in bed and for other rooms in the house this will stop the heating triggering if someone gets up for a glass of water. These two options are:

• Starts from: This  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: 21:00

• Ends at: This  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: 06:30

  Info
  The start and end times must not be on the same day as the end time finishes the day after the night start time is stakes effect.

Copy to Timer

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'
