Reading the charts

The charts can show a lot of information, depending on which type of zone is being displayed. The x-axis scales dependent on the zoom level selected, and the y-axis scales dependent on the data being displayed.

<image of chart with example data>

  • Measured temperature: The red line displays the temperature from any devices which feeds the measured temperature back to the app in the zone being displayed.
  • Set temperature: The orange line shows the schedule of the zone. When the measured temperature is below the set temperature the heating will be called on to provide heat and when the red line is at/above the orange line the heating will switch off as the zone is at or above its target temperature.
  • External temperature: This is  provided by the weather forecast and is displayed in blue on each zone. This can be used to see how the external temperature affects how long the zone can take to warm up or cool down.
  • Occupancy detected: Any detected occupancy for zones with a Room Sensor is displayed as a black bar chart along the x-axis

When viewing the chart for a zone, any of the above options can be hidden from view by clicking on the respective coloured dot next to the description of the data. 

<image of chart with dots highlighted>As well as planning ahead, you can check what happened in the past by viewing a chart of the historical heating data, on a zone-by-zone basis.
