align with either other rooms or temperature measuring
devices within your home. This offset may be set from the
settings section on either the web browser, or smartphone
app.

See “Comfort and Eco Mode” on the previous “Configure
thenThermostat” section.
Seasonal modes, Winter and Summer
(13, 14, and 15)
During Winter, the heating control is normally required to
be quite responsive to maintain the target temperatures,
so the response time may be set accordingly (10 to 120
seconds in 1 second steps). During summer, battery life of
the thermostat may be extended as the response time of
the heating control may be set to a higher value (10 to 120
minutes in 1 minute steps).
Note:
Setting the response time to less than one minute
could significantly reduce battery life.
This summer and winter response times may be set from
the settings section on either the web browser, or
smartphone app.
TRV warmup time
(16)
To allow any TRVs to reach their own designated target
temperature, the heating can be set to continue heating for
abdefined time after it has reached the target temperature
at the thermostat location. This TRV warmup time can be
set from the settings section on either the web browser, or
smartphone app.
Reverse relay
(17)
Depending on the boiler requirements, the relay may be
left as default (Normally Open), or may be set to reverse
operation (Normally Closed) This may be set from the
settings section on either the web browser, or smartphone
app.
