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 is only available in Radiator zones with a Wireless Room Sensor or Wireless Motion Sensor assigned to them. Currently the pre-heat feature will not preheat a room for more than 90 minutes, which is fine for a radiator room when it is warming up before it knows that you will be using a room, but not long enough for an UFH room, which may take up to 4 hours to come up to temperature. |

There are five options unique to the heating in Footprint mode, which should be configured before you use this 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: 21:00
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: 06:30
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.
