The Ideal Halo Combi Wi-Fi is a wireless PRT that is paired with the Halo Smart Interface installed in the boiler. The Halo Smart Interface plugs into the front aperture on the boiler and communicates to the boiler via OpenTherm. The Halo unit is powered by 4 AA batteries and communicates with the Smart Interface through Zigbee, a local RF protocol.
The Smart Interface is Wi-Fi enabled and can be linked to the home Wi-Fi network to allow app-controlled heating through the Halo app.
The Ideal Halo Combi Wi-Fi must be installed by a competent person with the appropriate safety qualifications. Please read the instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the product or cause a hazardous condition. These instructions are applicable to the Ideal Boiler models stated and must not be used with any other make or model of boiler. This product must be installed to all applicable standards. Always isolate the mains supply before installing or working on any components relating to the boiler electronics.
The Halo app is available to download from the Apple App Store and on Google Play. To save time the householder may want to download the app and set up the account whilst the thermostat is being installed.
The Halo uses wireless Zigbee communication between the control and the Smart Interface, up to a maximum range of 30 meters. Occasionally house construction and materials can reduce this communication range and it is advisable, where possible, to try and avoid directing communication through metal frames or solid concrete walls.
If the distance between the Halo and Smart Interface is above 30 meters or the install location is challenging, consider using the Ideal Zigbee Booster (Product Code: 221132) or mounting the Smart Interface externally to the boiler using a bracket (Product Code: 220366). Further details on this at www.idealboilers.com The Halo control system connects to the home Wi-Fi network through a Wi-Fi chip in the Smart Interface. The home Wi-Fi router should be positioned no more than 30 meters from the Smart Interface. Where possible avoid directing Wi-Fi communication through metal frames or solid concrete walls.
The Halo can be either wall-mounted or desk mounted.
Wall mounting the Halo
If there are any concerns regarding the signal strength and location of the wall-mounted Halo it is advisable to pair the control (section E) and check signal strength before fixing to the wall.
Desk mounting the Halo
To install the Halo Smart Interface into a new boiler with serial letter code AFQ (found on the data plate) follow the steps below. For further details on the compatibility of older boilers and how to install the Smart Interface into a bracket and wire into the boiler please go to www.idealboilers.com
The Halo unit now needs to be paired with the Smart Interface installed in the boiler. Ensure the Halo Smart Interface is in pairing mode and the Zigbee LED is flashing red.
