Welcome to your new Ideal Halo control. This thermostat will help you to control both your heating temperature and the times that your heating and hot water 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
MODE SELECTION
You can choose to run your Halo in Auto, Manual or Off mode.
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 for, turn and push the dial to make your selection.
TOP TIP: You could use this feature if you want to keep your heating on for longer than is scheduled. Maybe you’re not going to work today and you want your heating to stay on all morning.
OVERRIDE
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 shown under the target temperature. The home screen will now display the override icon above the target temperature.
TOP TIP: You could use this feature if you want to boost your heating to a higher temperature for a period of time. Maybe you’re feeling chilly or it’s the weekend and you’re staying up later than when your heating is scheduled.
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. Each Halo unit is programmed independently of the other.
TOP TIP:
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 mode.
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.
TOP TIP: You could use this feature if you’re home early from work and want hot water before the scheduled time.
SCHEDULES
Your Halo will come with a pre-set schedule:
The Halo Smart Interface will be installed in the aperture in the front of your Ideal boiler. It will wirelessly communicate with your Halo control and, in the case of an internet connected Halo, your home Wi-Fi. In normal circumstances you will not have to interact with the Halo Smart Interface, however the LED indications can be useful in diagnosing any technical issues that may arise. The Halo Smart Interface has a Failsafe/Override feature which can be used to switch your boiler on if wireless communication between the Halo and Smart Interface is lost.
HALO SMART WIRING CENTRE
The Halo Smart Wiring Centre will wirelessly communicate with your Halo Smart Interface, in normal circumstances you will not have to interact with the Halo Smart Wiring Centre, however the LED indications can be useful in diagnosing any technical issues that may arise. The Halo Smart Wiring Centre has a Failsafe/Override feature which can be used to open your central heating zone valves if wireless communication between the Halo Smart Wiring Centre and Halo Smart Interface is lost.
Do not remove the cover unless you are qualified to do so.
Important: Override is only available if the Smart Wiring Centre loses communication with the Smart Interface. During normal operation this function is not active.

Whether you have a desk or wall mounted unit you will see the below symbol on the base of the unit. There are also two finger grabs top and bottom as shown below. Use the finger grabs to gently pull the Halo away from the rear housing. Do not use a screwdriver to separate.
Remove all the old batteries and replace with 4 new AA Alkaline batteries. Check you have the correct battery orientation then position the Halo back onto the rear housing and gently push into place until you feel a positive click.
