A SMARTheating Zone is an area within the Floorplan that defines the behaviour of one or more heating outputs.
Key Points About SMARTheating Zones
- Several rooms may form part of the same Heating Zone.
- A SMARTheating Zone is defined via the Channel Setup Wizard.
- The Auto Discover wizard leads on to the Channel Setup Wizard, meaning that a SMARTheating Zone can be set up at the same time that a device is being detected and configured.
SMARTheating Zone Info Panel
Once created, a SMARTheating Zone's settings can be viewed and controlled on the Temperature Layer. Basic settings can be viewed and altered in the Info Panel, which is shown in the bottom-left corner of the Temperature Layer.
Below is a guide to the components that make up the Temperature Layer's Info Panel.
| Current Zone | Dropdown menu showing the currently selected Heating Zone. |
| Zone Temperature | The current temperature of the selected Heating Zone. The value shown may depend on whether Temperature Averaging is ticked (see SMARTheating Zone Properties). |
| Zone Setpoint | The desired temperature of the selected Heating Zone, as defined in the Schedule that controls the SMARTheating Zone. |
| Zone Status | A SMARTheating Zone can have one of the following Zone Statuses: Off: when the Zone Temperature is above the Zone Setpoint. Heating outputs assigned to the currently selected SMARTheating Zone are off (i.e., WEMScontroller relays are not activated). On: when the Zone Temperature is below the Zone Setpoint. Heating outputs assigned to the currently selected SMARTheating Zone are on (i.e., WEMScontroller relays are activated). |
