Technical Requirements
You can use the heatapp! system with your underfloor or radiator heating as well as with electric heaters, irrespective of what
sort of heat source you have. To be able to operate
heatapp!
conveniently from anywhere, you require:
•
Your own residential Internet connection (broadband, cable, fibre optic, LTE)
•
A wired or wireless home network (LAN, Wi-Fi) and
•
A smartphone or tablet (from iOS 7.0 or Android 4.x from 8") with 3G/4G mobile (UMTS, LTE) and local wireless.
If you only want to use
heatapp!
at home and never underway, then all you need is a smartphone or tablet without even a
mobile phone connection.
The
heatapp! app
is currently available for iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod from iOS 7.0) and Android (from version 4.x for tablets
from 8") and will soon be available for other operating systems and mobile devices.
You do not require any knowledge of heating technology because
heatapp!
is installed by experts for you.

Conditions and requirements
Fig.: 2 WLAN- and Z-Wave - Networks
The
heatapp!
system works with two different networks.
heatapp! base
and
heatapp! gateway
communicate with each other
via the home network. The radio components communicate via Z-Wave radio with the
heatapp! gateway.
To operate a
heatapp!
system, an Ethernet network (LAN / WLAN) is required. In most applications this is provided through use
of an Internet connection and an appropriate router.
When connecting to the energy generator, you need a network connection in the boiler room. We recommend to connect the
heatapp! base
via LAN cable with the router. Ensure that a network connection is available; if necessary via a switch or Powerline
Adapter.
heatapp!
was developed in conjunction with the Institute for Internet Security. All data is stored centrally in your
heatapp! base
in your home. To protect the system from unauthorised access, the
heatapp!
system can only be operated with a user name and
password. The access data is created during the installation. Ensure to keep your access data in a safe place, because without it,
your system is no longer operable. You can record the access data on page 134 at the end of this installation manual.
