Welcome to your new Ideal Halo control. This thermostat will help you to control both your heating temperature and the times that your heating is on.
Halo is a battery-powered, wireless control for both heating and hot water, that uses a protocol called Zigbee to communicate with the Smart Interface that wires into the boiler. This user guide is applicable to both the Halo Heat & System RF and Halo Heat & System Wi-Fi control. Halo Heat & System RF is a non-connected control (control is via the Halo Heat & System unit only). Halo Heat & System Wi-Fi is a wireless heating control that is connected to the internet. You can download the Halo app on Google Play or the Apple app store. You will not have to pay to use the app. For more information on the features in your Halo app visit the Help section of the app or visit our website idealheating.com
HEATING ZONE 1 & ZONE 2
MODE SELECTION
PLUS HOURS
If you are running a schedule with pre-set times (Auto mode) and you want to maintain the current temperature of your heating instead of moving to the next setting simply press the dial. A pop up menu will appear for you to select how long you would like to extend the temperature, turn and push the dial to make your selection.
TOP TIP
Your Halo is designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency. It has a feature called Enhanced Load Compensation which balances the temperature in your radiators to maintain the target room temperature with optimum efficiency. As a result, you might notice that when the temperature in your home reaches the target your radiators are not hot to touch. By controlling the temperature in your radiators your system is working in the most efficient way for you.
If you are running a schedule with pre-set times (Auto mode) and you want to adjust the temperature of your heating temporarily, simply turn the dial to your desired temperature. The new temperature will be active until the next scheduled change is shown under the target temperature. The home screen will now display the override icon above the current temperature.
SCHEDULES
Your Halo will come with a pre-set schedule:
You can alter this schedule by entering the “timed heating schedule” section in the main menu.
To access the hot water functions, when on the heating home screen, simply press the dial. Alternatively press the menu button, scroll to Hot Water Control and press confirm. To switch back to heating from the hot water home screen, press the dial again.
MODE SELECTION
You can choose to run your Hot Water in Auto, On or Off modes. Auto: Run your hot water to pre-set scheduled times and temperatures. ON: Your hot water is permanently on. OFF: Your hot water is permanently off. Move between Auto, ON, and OFF modes using the right-hand side button, scroll down the menu using the dial and push to select.
BOOST
If you are running a schedule with pre-set times (Auto mode) and you want to boost your hot water rather than wait for the next setting simply turn the dial. A pop-up menu will appear for you to select how long you would like to boost your hot water for, turn and push the dial to make your selection.
