Do not use cables longer than 3 meters for charging the device.
Make sure the device won’t discharge during the heating season or it may cause high temperatures!

The device is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery pack that can be charged via a micro-USB port using a standard 5V charger (not included). When the battery is low the LED ring will start to blink red. The device will also report low battery status of itself and a dedicated temperature sensor (if paired) to the controller. The device does not operate the valve during the charging and maintains the last valve position. If the battery is discharged the device will open the valve completely to allow easy dismounting.
To charge the battery:

Connect the charger to the micro-USB port.
During charging the LED ring will pulse red and valve control will be disabled.
When LED starts pulsing green, disconnect the charger.
The device will restore its previous operation.

NORMAL SCHEDULES

The device allows the creation of multiple heating schedules to manage the temperature in the room throughout the week. Schedules are created via controller interface or app.

Up to 253 normal schedules can be created.
The lower the schedule ID number, the higher the priority.
Schedules with higher priority override those with lower priority in case of overlapping schedules.
Schedules can be disabled without deleting it.
Schedules allow to set the target temperature for HEAT mode (using Thermostat Setpoint CC) and one of the operating modes: HEAT, OFF or MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC (using Thermostat Mode CC)
Only SET commands are permitted.

To create normal schedules user must specify:

Day of the week,
Starting time (hour and minute),
Duration,
Temperature Setpoint for HEAT mode in the range 10-30°C (using Thermostat Setpoint CC)
One of the operating modes (using Thermostat Mode CC):
» HEAT for setting temperature,
» OFF for valve fully closed,
» MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC for valve fully opened.

Note. Schedule CC Set command payload must not be greater than 22 bytes limit or it would be rejected.

OVERRIDE SCHEDULE

Override Schedule is a special type of schedule with the highest priority; thus it overrides other schedules. The Override Schedule starts right after setting and lasts for specified time, then it is removed and the current schedule or normal operation is restored.
To create an Override Schedule user must specify:

Starting time (START NOW),
Duration,
Temperature Setpoint for HEAT mode in range 10-30°C (using Thermostat Setpoint CC)
One of the operating modes (using Thermostat Mode CC):
» HEAT for setting temperature,
» OFF for valve fully closed,
» MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC for valve fully opened.

Override Mode can be enabled in two ways:

By turning the knob, while the normal schedule is active. The LED ring will pulse with the selected adjustment.
Via controller, by creating a schedule with ID set 255, start time set to NOW and duration (in minutes/hours/days). To exit Override Mode grab the knob with your hand for 5 seconds.
