The Heating schedule profiles work with MClimate devices that control heating, like Vicki or the Fan Coil Thermostat, for example.
The Heating profile creation page is separated in two parts:
Create - what the profile would look like
Manage devices - which devices the profile would apply to
Let's look into each section in detail.
You are presented with all parameters that can be adjusted in the creation screen. You can edit all of these later on, it is fully customizable.
Start by entering a name for your profile and choose if it is Globally visible (turned on by default).
Set the Default boost time (5 minutes), a setting that is especially important if you are managing a large building.
If you have a heating profile in effect that is applied to a device it controls its temperature curve, however one can choose to ignore it. In the even the target temperature is adjusted manually it receives a boost that overrules the Heating profile for a period of time, called Boost time.
You can also set the visibility of the profile, the drop down menu mirrors the building space structure and you can assign the profile to any level.
This is where you create the actual profile time/temperature zones.
You are presented with a text box for the start and end time ranges in addition to the target temperature. Once you have entered your desired time range and temperature, click on the Add a new time slot button and you will create it. Do this for as many intervals as you require depending on your profile requirements.
Once you have entered the desired time slots your profile will be visible in the Schedule area as a colored chart (representing how high the temperature is with colors).
You can further edit/remove a timeslot via the pen/bin button.
A good strategy if your desired Heating profile has identical or similar setting on a per day basis is to clone one day over one or more subsequent ones. This can be done by selecting it an clicking on the icon next to the text. This will open up a list of the week days with check boxes where you can select which days you want to clone the selected one over. Pressing on the "Done" button populates your selection.
Don't forget to click on the "Create" button at the bottom of the screen to implement the changes you made. Your profile should be visible in the Schedule profiles section now, showing the colored chart, the assigned building entity and number of devices it has been applied to, for quick reference. You can click on it and adjust any of the aforementioned settings at any time.
In order for a Heating Profile to take effect it has to be assigned to one or more devices. You can do this in the Manage devices section of the heating profile itself.
Simply select the devices you want to apply it to from the column on the left (use the check boxes) and press on the arrow key pointing to the right.
This will send the selected devices to the right table, indicating that you have assigned the profile to them. Once you press on the "Send" button the profile will take effect and they will start adjusting their behavior.
You can move a device/s back to the left in a similar manner, which will disable the profile for this device/s. You can Filter or Search for a device to easily find it.
