Function

In connection with Homematic Wireless Radiator Thermostats (HM-CC-RT-DN), the Homematic Wireless Room Thermostat can conveniently regulate the room temperature according to individually tailored heating phases. The room thermostat measures the temperature and humidityand cyclically transmits the data to the radiator thermostat to regulate the room temperature. With the boost function, radiators can be heated up quickly and briefly. There will be a pleasant room temperature right away because of the radiated heat.

General information about the Homematic system
This device is part of the Homematic home control system and works with the bidirectional Homematic wireless protocol. All devices are delivered in a standard configuration. The functionality of the device can also be configured with a programming device and software. The additional functions that can be made available in this way and the supplementary functions provided by the Homematic system when it is combined with other components are described in the Homematic WebUI Manual. You can find the latest versions of all technical documents and the latest updates at: www.homematic.com

General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can be caused by e.g. switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/ screening conditions.

Hereby, eQ-3 AG declares that this device conforms with the essential requirements and other relevant regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC. The full declaration of conformity is provided under www.homematic.com.

Teach-in

Before being able to use your device with QIVICON, it has to be taught-in to your QIVICON Home Base. Therefore, please log-in to „My QIVICON“ at www.qivicon.com/login. There, please select „Add device“ and follow the instructions.

To integrate the room thermostat into your Homematic system and enable it to communicate with other Homematic devices (e.g. Homematic Radiator Thermostat), you must teach-in the room thermostat first. You can teach-in the room thermostat directly to other Homematic devices or to the Homematic Central Control Unit.

Teaching-in to Homematic devices

Information

Teaching-in to a Homematic Central Control Unit
Your device can be conveniently

For this purpose, it needs to be taught-in to the Homematic Central Control Unit first. New devices are taught-in to the central control unit using the Homematic “WebUI” user interface.

To teach-in your device to the central control unit, proceed as follows:

Configuring newly taught-in devices
Once you have taught-in your room thermostat to the Homematic Central Control Unit, it will be moved to the inbox. Here, you must configure the device and its associated channels in order to make them available for operating and configuration tasks. Give the device a name and assign it to a room. You can also make individual parameter settings. Now you can use the „WebUI“ user interface to control your device, configure it, connect it directly to other devices, or use it in central control unit programs. Please refer to the „WebUI“ manual for more details (you can find this in the „Downloads“ area of the website www.homematic.com).

Teach-out/Restore factory settings
The factory settings of the room thermostat can be restored manually. Restoring the factory settings deletes all settings and information about taught-in devices.

Operating modes (auto/manu/holiday)
By pressing the auto/manu button (Homematic -eQ-3 -Wireless -Room -Thermostat - fig (2) ) shortly you can switch between the following operating modes:

Comfort and eco temperature
The comfort and eco temperature button ( Homematic -eQ-3 -Wireless -Room -Thermostat - fig (9)) makes switching between comfort and eco temperature simple and user friendly. The factory setting for the comfort temperature is 21.0 °C and the eco temperature 17.0 °C. The comfort and eco temperature can be changed individually. If the room thermostat is used in connection with a Homematic Central Control Unit, settings can also be made via the user interface WebUI.

Information

In auto mode, the comfort and eco temperature remain activated until the next point at which the week programme changes.

Setting the holiday function

Boost function

With the boost function, cool rooms can be heated within short at the touch of a button. When the function is activated, the heating valves of the taught-in radiator thermostats open immediately for 5 minutes at 80 % (factory setting). There will be a pleasant room temperature right away because of the radiated heat. By the end of the 5 minute boost phase, the radiator thermostat automatically changes back to the prior operating mode.
