Thermostat Wifi Plugin T-PL

Herschel T-PL is a plug-in thermostat designed to work exclusively with Herschel XLS heaters.

• T-PL has manual temperature control with a 24-hour timer.
• T-PL also has Wi-Fi capability so you can control your heating remotely via the Smartlife app or by voice command using Alexa or Google Assistant. The addition of the Smartlife app also allows for a 7-day program with 4 periods per day.
• All modes will operate your Herschel heater(s) by turning them on if the ambient temperature is below the desired temperature and turn them off once the desired temperature is reached or exceeded.
• The T-PL can be paired with more than one heater, meaning that multiple heaters in the room can be controlled with the same T-PL thermostat.
• Please read these instructions in conjunction with the instructions for the Herschel XLS panel.
• This unit is rated IPX0 and should be installed outside of splash areas in bathrooms.

Instructions for use

Pairing the T-PL with the Heater

1. Double press the pairing button on the SMART-R box of the heater. The green pairing status LED will start flashing and the heater is ready for pairing.
2. Plug the T-PL into an available AC outlet and turn it off using the power button. “OF” appears on the display.
3. Long press the pairing button “P” on the T-PL and the letter “P” will flash on the display.
4. When pairing is successfully complete, the green pairing status light on the SMART-R enclosure will turn solid green and the letter “P” on the display will disappear.
5. You shouldn’t encounter any difficulties when pairing, but in case you do, make sure the T-PL and heater are within range of each other and try the above process again.
6. Press the power button on the T-PL to start using it to control the heater.

Manage your heating using your T-PL Control

Without the Smartlife app
When used without the Smartlife app, your T-PL controller will manage the temperature you set on the keybpad (using the + and – buttons) 24 hours a day. The T-PL has a 0-24 hour timer function that can be activated by pressing the Clock button. Press the Clock button again to set the timer duration in hours (1 press = 1 hour, 2 presses = 2 hours, etc.). Once the time limit is reached, both the T-PL and the heater will be turned off, regardless of whether the set temperature has been reached.

Temperature calibration
If you want to adjust the temperature display to align this unit with another thermostat, press the “P” button for 5 seconds until the screen displays “Room 0°C” and use the + or – keys to adjust the upward or downward shift. (Adjusting upwards adjusts the T-PL if it is underreading compared to another thermostat. Adjusting down adjusts the T-PL if it is over-reading compared to another thermostat). Using the T-PL without the Smartlife app makes it suitable only if the Herschel XLS heater is designed as a portable unit for occasional use in well-insulated rooms.

Operating using the SmartLife app
When used with the SmartLife app, your T-PL controller becomes a smart thermostat with a 7-day schedule with 4 periods per day with the added benefit of allowing control of your heating even when you are not at home. The app also has a manual operation mode and a Holiday (away) mode.

Downloading and installing the Smartlife app
Scan the QR code to download the Smartlife app from the App Store or Google Play. You can also search for “Smart Life” on Google Play or the App Store and search for that icon.

Smartlife App Notice:
The Smartlife app is constantly evolving and future versions may differ from these instructions that were correct at the time of printing. You can always find the most current version of the instructions by visiting the T-PL controller product page on the Herschel website, which links to the most recent instructions. After installing and opening the SmartLife app, you must create an account using an email address and password and agree to the Terms of Service.

To add your T-PL controller
Turn off your T-PL and then long press the Wifi button until the Wifi icon on the screen flashes.

Operations available on the App

Give your T-PL a name and go to the main screen. From the main display of the SmartLife app, you can access the following heating control functions on your T-PL.

• Power On/Off turns off T-PL and heating
• Temperature override (orange circle with + and – buttons)
• Manual operation
• “Smart” operation (Program mode)
• Holiday mode
• Parameters
• Timer

Explanation of operating modes

Smart Mode
Your Herschel Select XLS heater works more efficiently when configured to operate on a schedule controlled by the T-PL thermostat. This program will always ensure that your room reaches the desired temperature at the time you want, every day of the week. This is represented by the “Smart” function on the App. So you’ll usually want to set up and run the unit in Smart mode. To select Smart mode, tap the “Smart” icon on the app and set your program settings in “settings”.

Manual mode
Selecting manual mode allows you to set and maintain a constant temperature that does not vary with the time of day. Once you have set a temperature using the manual mode, the T-PL will maintain that temperature until you give the T-PL another command. Select manual mode by tapping the “Manual” icon on the main app screen and change the temperature up or down using the + and – buttons.

Override
You can always override programmed or manual set temperatures to be higher or lower by using the + or – keys on the main app screen or T-PL keypad to change the temperature. When operating in smart mode, the T- PL will maintain the override temperature until the next programmed period (when the next programmed temperature will be set). In manual mode, the override temperature will remain set until you manually change it again.

Holiday mode
There is also a Holiday mode that allows you to save energy by setting a lower temperature while you’re away. The Holiday mode has a day counter function allowing you to set the number of days of absence and return the heating to normal operation before your return. Select Vacation mode by tapping the “Vacation” icon on the main screen of the app. Select Days away using the slider and adjust the temperature of your vacation using the + or – buttons. We recommend that you end Holiday mode at least one day before you return to allow your home to warm up again.

Other App functions

Settings
“Settings” on the App allow you to change program schedules and temperatures in Smart mode.

Timer
The Smartlife app has a timer function identical to the timer function on the keypad. This function only works if the T-PL has been placed in “Manual” mode. To use the timer, select the manual mode, then tap the “timer” icon and select the countdown time (1 hour, 2 hours, etc.). When the selected time has elapsed, both the T-PL and the heater turn off, regardless of whether the set temperature has been reached.

Device Details
You can edit other details about your T-PL, including turning on Alexa or Google Assistant or sharing control of your device with other family members by tapping the “3 dots” icon at the top right of the app’s main screen. If you start using Smartlife to control other smart home devices, you can also integrate your T-PL control into other smart home tasks that you set up in Smartlife from the Device Details screen.
