13. Adding New Devices

As well as being very flexible in the level of control you can have using the Genius system, it is also very easy to expand the system if you decide you want to add to your system at a later date. 

Preparing your 'Genius Starter Kit' for zoning

If you started your Heat Genius system with a Genius Starter Kit and want to begin adding Genius Radiator Valves to your system, you will need to follow the instructions below before adding the first valve to your system:

1. Go to your single 'Heating' zone.
2. Click on the sub-menu, followed by 'Zone Setup'.
3. Under the list of devices, remove all of the devices from this zone.
   

4. Click on 'Delete this zone' to remove this zone from your system

   If you are adding Radiator Valves to only some of your radiators, then you may want to follow these instructions to create a schedule for the uncontrolled radiators.

5. Click on the Home icon to return to the My House page.
6. Click on the My House sub-menu, followed by 'My House Setup'.
7. In the Quick Actions bar, click on 'Assign device'.

If you need to create a new zone to add the device to:

1. Click on the 'Create New Zone' in the My House sub-menu.
    
2. Enter the name of the zone you are creating.
3. Select the type of control you require, such as On/Off if you are adding a Smart Plug, or Radiator if you are controlling a new room with Genius Valves. 
4. Click 'Create'.

Add a device

To add a new device onto your system:

1. From the My House page, click on the menu at the top right hand corner of the app.
2. Click on Devices.

Once the device is added, you will need to assign it to a zone:

2. Click on the Zone sub-menu and Zone Setup.
3. Click on 'Assign device'.

3. Click on 'Assign device'.
