XT By-me home automation system control device, thermostat function for room temperature control (heating and air-conditioning), 2- and 4-pipe system manage-ment, 3-speed and proportional fan coil control, class I temperature control device (contribution 1%) in ON/OFF mode, class IV (contribution 2%) in PID mode, can be interfaced with actuator with proportional analogue outputs 01466.1 to create a class V modulating room thermostat (contribution 3%), humidistat function with ON/OFF control with respect to a set parameter, VOC (volatile organic compound) function with ON/OFF control or t o call up 2 scenarios, 2 push button function with configuration as 1 rocker button with status identification LED, central LED matrix to customise symbols or animation, proximity function, white LED backlighting, white – 2 front modules.
The device is integrated with the following four sensors:

Thermostat (T)
The thermostat is integrated with the By-me home automation system for temperature control in 2- or 4-pipe systems (heating/air conditioning) and neutral zone (4-pipe systems only), with “boost” function to activate a second source that makes it possible to reach the desired ther-mal comfort faster. The thermostat is fitted with a white LED matrix display and 2 buttons to control the temperature setpoint and to turn the temperature control system on/off. Opposite each button are white LEDs for the “up and down arrow” or “+ and -” symbols. There are also two LEDs that indicate the heating phase (amber or configurable white LED) or cooling phase (blue or configurable white LED). During the configuration phase, you can choose whether to view the room temperature, the current setpoint or the current setpoint delta normally. The thermostat can be configured to integrate HVAC type split/VRV systems via third-party KNX interfaces.

Humidistat (H)
The humidistat is integrated with the By-me Plus home automation system and allows the current humidity to be shown on the display or on the View App. It also allows the sending of an On/Off control on the bus when the humidity value increases or decreases with respect to a parameter set during the configuration phase. It can be used to manage ventilation and for dewpoint management, in combination with the temperature and VRV systems.

VOC sensor
The VOC (volatile organic compounds) sensor is integrated with the By-me Plus home automation system and allows the air quality variations to be shown on the display or on the View App. It also allows the sending of an On/Off control or to call up 2 scenarios when the air quality worsens or improves with respect to parameters set during the configuration phase. The VOC sensor, in combination with temperature and humidity, makes it possible to manage ventilation to improve the quality of the air.

Proximity sensor
The proximity sensor (the sensitivity of which can be set via the View Pro App) enables the multisensor activation by approaching a hand at a distance set during the configuration phase. Activation propagates the information to the other controls on the same electrified XT mounting frame. The time on standby is configurable.

The device can be used in the following ways

• Mode 1 – “Thermostat”: Locally controlled thermostat for ON/OFF + setpoint adjustment, pos-sibly with interface block function (as per parameter) without symbols on the keys. The symbols of the upper and lower keys can be customised, choosing from the library.
  It allows:

  • Viewing of temperature and setpoint on central display. If the climate control art. 32044.x is present, values T, H and VOC will be shown on the display (they will in any case always be displayed on the View App).
  • Editing of the values: summer_winter/fan speed/Celsius_Farenheit/on_off using the external keys of the climate control.

• Mode 2 – “Push button control/rocker switch with thermostat probe”: Control with 2 push buttons or 1 rocker switch where the 2 keys can be configured as 2 push buttons or grouped together as 1 rocker switch + “By-me” thermostat controllable from the View App.

  • The symbols of the upper and lower keys can be customised. In the case of 1 rocker switch the central white LED matrix can be used for customised symbols or for animation, while in the case of 2 push buttons it can be used to display any alarms, load status and scenario activation with customised symbols.
  • The values T, H and VOC are not shown on the display but only on the View App or on the touch screens.

• Mode 3 – “Sensor viewer”: Viewer of the values T, H and VOC on the display. It is used as a simple viewer and normally shows the current temperature. Using the two keys on the device (or with climate control art. 32044.x) the values of remote probe temperature, humidity, and air quality can be browsed and displayed.

• Mode 4, “VRV systems control”: Control of VRV systems via the KNX gateway.

  • The locally controlled thermostat for ON/OFF + setpoint adjustment, possibly with interface block function (as per parameter) without symbols on the keys.
  • The symbols of the upper and lower keys can be customised, choosing from the library.

• It allows:

  • Viewing of temperature and setpoint on central display. If the climate control art. 32044.x is present, values T, H and VOC will be shown on the display (they will in any case always be displayed on the View App).
  • Editing of the values: operating mode/fan speed/Celsius_Farenheit/on_off using the external keys of the climate control.

• Mode 5 , “Push button control/rocker switch with thermostat probe for split/VRV integra-tion”: Control with 2 push buttons or 1 rocker switch where the 2 keys can be configured as 2 push buttons or grouped together as 1 rocker switch + thermostat (split/VRV integration) controllable from the View App.
  The symbols of the upper and lower keys can be customised. In the case of 1 rocker switch the central white LED matrix can be used for customised symbols or for animation, while in the case of 2 push buttons it can be used to display any alarms, load status and scenario activation with customised symbols.
  The values T, H and VOC are not shown on the display but only on the View App.

Functions available for each mode

• Fan coil management (3 speeds/proportional, ON/OFF valves).

• Selectable PID or ON/OFF control algorithm:

  • the ON/OFF algorithm is the control which, on exceeding the set temperature increased by the threshold value (vice versa for air conditioning), the heating is switched off to then be turned back on when the room temperature drops below the set temperature.
  • PID is a sophisticated algorithm capable of keeping the temperature in the room more
    stable and it works by switching the system on and off so as to be like a gradual increase or decrease in the system’s thermal (or refrigerating) power; ideal for use in floor heating systems, the algorithm needs to be properly calibrated according to the type of environment and system.

• Boost function: control of an auxiliary actuator to speed up the heating or air conditioning of the environment.

• Mild season function: available from the supervisor only for systems configured with 4 pipes;
  when active, the secondary output is controlled with its own parameters.

  • Replacement of the internal sensor.
  • Average with the internal one.
  • Screed temperature limitation.
  • Display on display only.

• Open window management function with delayed power on and off management.

• Remote manageable device.

• Possibility of using an offset to correct the reading of the temperature measured according to a possible sample thermometer in order to compensate for errors due to special installations (North-facing wall, proximity to hot/cold water pipes, etc.).

• The thermostat can be controlled from a button on the device 32044.x for the ON/OFF, scrolling the viewable values, heating/cooling, fan speed modification, degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit modification, display functions.

• Humidity check: control of an actuator to activate humidification or dehumidification systems.

• Air quality check: control of an actuator to activate air recirculation systems. Calling up of scenarios if the air quality improves or worsens.
