Using the Heating Widget

Introduction

The Heating Widget in the Wondrwall app allows you to quickly control your home’s heating. Each room (Zone), such as the living room, kitchen, or bedroom, can be managed independently. You can adjust device settings or create schedules so heating only runs when needed, making your home more energy efficient, lowering your bills.

Accessing your Heating Widget

What does Summer Mode do?

When summer mode is switched on:

2. The target temperature for all heating zones is automatically set to 12 °C, our minimum frost protection setting.

When summer mode is switched off

1. All heating schedules are re-enabled 
2. The target temperature in each zone will update based on your schedules, either your comfort temperature or your saving temperature. (See below for information on Heating Schedules)

You can learn more about your Comfort and Saving Temperatures below, and learn how to set them in the Scheduling section of this article. 

Saving and Comfort Temperature

Comfort Temperature

You can change the temperature that a room will heat to when scheduled to do so. This is called the comfort temperature. You can also set this temperature yourself in the device schedule (see below).

Saving Temperature 

Your Wondrwall heating system keeps rooms at a lower temperature when the room is not in use and/or it is scheduled to do so. This is called your saving temperature, and can be set in your device's schedule.

• Below the button that changes the temperature, you will see an icon that shows what time the room will be switched from saving to comfort mode or vice versa, depending on the schedule that has been set (see below)
• If there is no schedule defined for this device, this icon will display “Schedules not Defined.” If your schedule is switched off, it will display “Schedule not Active

This scheduling icon at the bottom of the screen contains an On and Off switch to control your assigned schedule. Tapping the schedule button will take you to your weekly schedule, if one has been defined.
