• When manual override is disabled, any button presses on devices will be ignored by the system and the heating will carry out its normal schedule.
• When manual override is enabled, the device can be used to put the zone into override mode without having the use the app. When you enable manual override you also choose the duration of the override from the devices in the zone, and the override temperature you want to use if none is selected on the device. 
  

For more information on manually overriding devices, see the Override Mode chapter.

Enable Valve Shutoff (Radiator only)

When enabled, Genius Wireless Radiator Valves in this zone will 4°C whenever the room is not requesting heat to ensure the radiator does not heat up.

...

The advantages of sending 4°C to the Genius the Wireless Radiator Valves when a zone is not heating up, is that the radiator will not take any hot water from the system when the room measured temperature is above the set temperature - in cases when the valve experiences a different temperature to another temperature measuring device in the room, leaving the heated water to those zones which need it most. 

The disadvantage is it will reduce battery life as the radiator valve will be running from open to fully closed more often, and it may be confusing to a user as to why the valve shows 4º when this is not part of the heating schedule.

Pre-heating Pre-heating

Pre-heating

The Genius Hub can automatically calculate the pre-heat duration for a chosen room, so that the room will reach the set temperature at the start of the ‘heating period’, rather than starting to heat up at that time. Your Genius Hub is adaptive, so it's always learning from the temperature recorded by each temperature sensor. Using the local weather data and the heating history for each room, it will constantly adjust the pre-heat duration as the weather changes. This means that when you look at the automatically calculated time you see a value that is looking at the current measured temperature in the room, the current external temperature and the next heating period target temperature (not the default temperature as this is ignored). When calculating the next pre-heat time it takes into account a number of factors such as the lag time (how long it takes for the heating system to respond after the heating system is started to be heated) and rise rate (which is the speed that the room heats once it has started to rise in temperature). The default setting for pre-heating is disabled.

Zone reactivity settings (Zones with a Room Sensor only)

 For zones with a Room Sensor, you can change the reactivity settings of Footprint mode from here. the 3 changes you can make are:

• Occupancy detection sensitivity: This determines how sensitive the Room Sensors are to detecting movement in the room. The default value is 70%, as our testing showed this is snesitive sensitive enough to detect small movements from people but not sensitive enough to trigger the heating due to pets moving about the room. However if you find that the system is not detecting you when you are in a room, we recommend adjusting this by 10% each time. 

  • 
    

    Note
    Setting this above 90% may result in false triggers being detected.

    
    

• Heating trigger on after: This setting is for how many consecutive minutes occupancy must be detected before the heating reacts to a person using the room. The default value is 2 minutes, as this is long enough to allow you to walk through the room or get a glass of water, and short enough to bring the heating on quickly once you are using the room. 
  • Note that the system needs to see occupancy in each consecutive minute to trigger the heating on. So if you set it to 5 minutes it is vary hard to bring the heating on as occupancy will need to be seen in; minute 1 and minute 2 and minute 3 and minute 4 and minute 5 and then it will turn on.
• Heating trigger off after: This setting is for how many long occupancy must not be detected before the heating switches off in a room. The default value is 20 minutes, as this is long enough to pick up small movements if you are sitting down and watching TV or leave the room for a couple minutes to answer the door, and short enough that the heating won't continue running long after you are no longer using the room.

To remove a device from the zone:

1. Scroll to 'Zone Devices'

2. Click on the Bin icon next to the device you no longer want assigned to the zone to remove the device from the zone
   

   Note
   This will only remove the device from the zone, the device will remain linked to your system.

Override Temperature Limiting

The user of the app has full control of the system, however in a number of scenarios you may not want the occupant of the room to have such a broad level of control. This option allows the occupants in the room to trigger the heating outside of the normal heating schedule, but only to a limited upper temperature.
