View of the Home tab when window sensors and additional contacts are registered Tap on the tile corresponding to a given zone to edit its pre-set temperature:

The upper value is the current zone temperature whereas the bottom value is the pre-set temperature. The pre-set zone temperature depends by default on the weekly schedule settings. Constant temperature mode enables the user to set a separate pre-set temperature value which will apply in the zone regardless of the time. By selecting Constant temperaturę icon, the user may define the pre-set temperature which will apply for a pre-defined period of time. Once the time is up, the temperature will be set according to the previous schedule (schedule or constant temperature without time limit ). Local schedule is a weekly schedule assigned to a particular zone. Once the controller detects the room sensor, the schedule is assigned automatically to the zone. It may be edited by the user. After selecting the schedule select OK and move on to edit the weekly schedule settings:

Editing enables the user to define two programs and select days when the programs will be active (e.g. from Monday to Friday and the weekend). The starting point for each program is the pre-set temperature value. For each program the user may define up to 3 time periods when the temperature will be different from the pre-set value. The time periods must not overlap. Outside the time periods the pre-set temperature will apply. The accuracy of defining the time periods is 15 minutes.
ZONES TAB
The usermay customize the home page view by changing zone names and corresponding icons. In order to do it, go to Zones tab:
