TPI ROOM THERMOSTAT WORKING LOGIC Your Room Thermostat works with the TPI algorithm in the heating option. Room Thermostats using TPI technology predict when the temperature of your home will rise above or below the set temperature and turn the heating unit on and off accordingly. This ensures that your home stays at the temperature you set without maximum deviations up and down.

What is TPI?
TPI technology is designed to ensure that you get the best possible energy efficiency from your heating system. It measures and applies the best possible timings to deliver and maintain your home at the set temperature level.

How does TPI work?
Thanks to the advanced artificial intelligence technology found in the software, it adapts to the temperature change of the environment in which it is located. By creating a general temperature map of your home, it learns how long it takes to reach the desired room temperature and how to maintain this temperature. In this way, it provides minimum energy consumption by calculating how long your heating unit should work for.

What is the difference?
In non-TPI room thermostats, the heating unit works and stops continuously until it exceeds the set temperature value. If the set temperature drops below a certain amount, the heating unit will work again. This creates greater temperature fluctuations and less energy control. TPI Room Thermostats, on the other hand, provide higher savings and comfort compared to On/Off room thermostats with the advantages it has.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT TPI ROOM THERMOSTAT

If the placement of the TPI Room Thermostats is changed, the learning process will restart. The learning process should be considered as 7 days.
If the TPI Room Thermostats are de-energized (battery replacement), the learning process will restart. The learning process should be considered as 7 days.
