In Timer mode, you can set up a 7-day schedule to control the heating in this zone. You set up a ‘heating period’ to suit your needs, including start time, end time and temperature. At the start of the heating period, the Genius Hub system will activate the heating in the room. Once the room has reached the set temperature, the system will maintain the temperature for the duration set.

Info

Default temperatures are especially important with underfloor heating which can take a number of hours to reach the desired temperature. The reason for this is because if the floor gets too cold then it takes a very long time to warm up such as large mass, compared with a metal radiator. It is recommended that a default temperature of no less than 4°C below the normal heating temperature is selected.

We also recommend you use Pre-Heat for Underfloor Heating zones.

There is no configurable Default setting for On/Off zones. The zones are off by default and the Timer periods are always On.
