USER GUIDE

Welcome to your new Ideal Halo control. This thermostat will help you to control both your heating temperature and the times that your heating is on.

Halo is a battery-powered, wireless control that uses a protocol called Zigbee to communicate with the Smart Interface that plugs into the boiler
This user guide is applicable to both the HaloCombi RF and Halo Combi Wi-Fi control.
Halo Combi RF is a non-connected control (control is via the Halo Combi unit only).
Halo Combi 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 www.idealboilers.com.

Your Halo is designed to provide the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency. It has a feature called Enhanced Load Compensation which balances the temperature in your radiators to maintain the target room temperature with optimum efficiency. As a result, you might notice that when the temperature in your home reaches the target your radiators are not hot to touch. By controlling the temperature in your radiators your system is working in the most efficient way for you.

PLUS HOURS

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

The new temperature will be active until the next scheduled change shown under the target temperature.

TOP TIP

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.
