From version September/October 20220 "True Radiant" is now called "ADAPTIVE START CONTROL
True Radiant can be enabled on any heater. If this is activated, the heater "learns" when to start heating in order to reach the temperature programmed in AUTO mode. The radiator predicts the right time to start heating in order to reach the desired temperature according to the programmed schedule, so the user does not have to take into account the time it takes to heat the room. Maximum lead time: 24 hours.
Example:
In the bathroom it should be 21°C at 6:00 am.
The heater learns when to start heating so that it is exactly 21°C at 6:00 am. However, the heating must be in AUTO mode for this.
- 05
This function can be set via the app or via the display (see separate video on the start page).
Open window feature:
The heating stops for 30 min if a drop of 2.4 °C or higher is measured within 4 min. This can be switched on or off.

About 300 m in the open field. Already installed heaters extend the range with a maximum of 2 extensions to approx. n900 m in the open field. In practice (walls etc.) of course much less. Many heaters may require the installation of a second or third interface. There are also WLAN "repeaters" from different manufacturers. These reinforce a possibly too weak WLAN network.
First always connect the heater to the interface that is closest. Install more and more heaters as you get further away.

The thermostat retains all configurations and programs. However, the time stops during a power failure and must be reset.
If the heater is connected to the app, the time will set itself again.

1 Introduction
Google Assistant ® is a Google voice assistant that allows access to various services and functions through voice commands. It can be used from different types of devices including mobile phones, smart watches, TVs and Google Home (home device)
2 Installation
In order to work with the Google Assistant for managing heating devices, it is necessary to install the Google app GOOGEL HOME.
Search for GOOGLE HOME in the respective stores.
Note: These instructions work with the Google application, over which we have no control and which may change. Google provides information on how to carry out the linking steps with the user account (account connection) and how to handle the devices with the SmartHome profile that we use. Use these instructions as a guide.
2.1
a) Install the Home application and open the. If it is the first time, it is necessary to add anew home.
b) Now you need to set up a new device...
c) Select: You already have devices......
d) At this point there is a list of the different devices (actions) that can be added. Locate and select Heating Control. At this point, a new window will open for you to enter user and password. Use the same credentials as your APP. Then select the name of the house that you want to associate with the Google account. Once selected, click Link Device.
Google's control has a number of limitations compared to what you could do with the app. That would be:
You cannot register new users. Neither delete
You cannot edit device or house names
You cannot program or configure advanced device settings.
Geolocation is not working.
You cannot invite users to your account.
Historical data is not available.
These are the control functions that can be performed via Google:
Turn off one or all devices in the house.
Turn on a device or all devices in the house. You turn on in auto mode
Set the temperature in the radiator or in the whole house. If it was in off mode, it will turn on in auto mode
Set eco mode on a radiator. The device switches to manual mode at Eco temperature
Set the heating mode on a radiator. The device switches to manual mode at the comfort temperature
Set auto mode on a radiator.
You can use the Google voice assistant to set the above modes. The way the voice commands are said is not unique or predefined, the Google voice assistant interprets the commands in a natural way. Some examples are given below, with the possibility of saying them in different ways:
OK Google...

Sometimes only the most necessary functions are required on the heater. This can happen, for example, if everything seems too "complicated" to older people.
The heater can be switched from "full mode" to "single mode". All additional functions are then switched off and only the temperature can be increased or decreased. A very simple operation is achieved.
This can only be done via the heater display using the extended programming mode under point C7. See the video below.

Due to possible fire hazards, the following safety distances must be observed during assembly:
Side walls of the radiator to any masonry: 5 cm side walls of the radiator
to combustible materials: 10 cm distance
Radiator to floor: 8 cm distance
Upper radiator limit to components or covers arranged above (e.g. window sill):
combustible: 15 cm
non-combustible 10 cm
- 22
Electric heaters may not be mounted directly on walls made of combustible materials.

In the case of windows with single glazing and poorly insulated profiles without an effective seal between the window frame and the sash, there is a very high heat transfer from the inside to the outside and an unpleasant draught. Here we are dealing with thermal bridges, which are areas of building components - especially the building shell - where heat escapes to the outside more than in other areas.
A heater under the window promotes the formation of an "air roll" that forms in the room due to the heating of the air flowing towards the window, thereby reducing heat loss. This also prevents condensation from forming on the window.
With insulating and triple glazing, the heat transfer is significantly reduced, so that heating under the window is not absolutely necessary. Nevertheless, it is still the most energy-efficient solution here.

When a surface storage heater is fully charged (usually 15 minutes), how long is the heat kept/stored in the storage stones if the thermal energy is NOT released?
Approx. 1 hour (no guarantee).
- 27
Area storage heating: approx. 80°C - 90°C
VPS/Visage: approx. 90°C - 95°C
Kindergarten heating: max. 60°C

No, covering the heaters with clothing, towels, etc. is not allowed. This leads to a build-up of heat and the heaters go out (protection against overheating).
There are towel rails for certain models.

Our heaters are only available with a 1.5 m cable.
This can be shortened by an electrical specialist.
Connecting a longer cable directly to the radiator (no UACS) is also possible. Costs approx. EUR 4.90 per meter

This can have many causes. Please check the following points:
1) How does the smart box flash.
The Smartbox LEDs indicate:
Green OFF, Orange blinks every second: Smartbox on discovery mode to connect new devices
Orange ON, Green blinks fast. No IP address was assigned to the Smartbox
Orange ON, Green flashes every 5s . Smartbox has an IP address but does not communicate with the server
Correct display:
Orange ON, alternating with the green every 5s: Smartbox with IP and correct connection to the server
2) Change the slot in the router
3) Change the cable
4) Is PORT 5000 open?
This can be checked by visiting the following website: http://api.helki.com:5000/< /a>
PORT 5000 is open when the following image appears. If there is NO image or the page keeps loading, the port is closed. The activation can only be done in your router or in the network by the network administrator. done.
5) Make sure that the router and Smartbox are in the same WiFi network
6) The DHCP must be activated in the router

Question:
We have a customer who wants to use surface storage heating and a PV system. This system cannot deliver more than 5 kW at the moment. Therefore, he would like to limit the maximum power in the app to 3 kW, for example.
Answer:
The maximum power for the heaters is set there. If you set 3kW for example, the heaters won't consume over this value, they will turn of and off depending on their priority and this is managed by the gateway.
The priority in the algorithm of every heater is defined by the difference between the setting temperature and the room temperature, so the heater which is more distant to its setting has the maximum priority and so on.
There is also a setting (the picture you attach) in each heater which defines a priority. When all the heaters has the same priority in the app, only the temperature difference with the setting is taken into account. If the user sets different priority in this setting it is like adding 0.5ºC of difference from low to medium and 0.5 from medium to high.
Example 1, with 2 heaters and only one can be active at the same time:
Heater 1: Setting 21ºC, measured 19ºC, priority Low
Heater 2: Setting 21ºC, measured 19.4ºC, priority Low
In this case Heater 1 has more priority and will turn on
Example 2, with 2 heaters and only one can be active at the same time:
Heater 1: Setting 21ºC, measured 19ºC, priority Low
Heater 2: Setting 21ºC, measured 19.4ºC, priority Medium
In this case Heater 2 has more priority and will turn on
Example 3, with 2 heaters and only one can be active at the same time:
Heater 1: Setting 21ºC, measured 18ºC, priority Low
Heater 2: Setting 21ºC, measured 19.4ºC, priority High
In this case Heater 1 has more priority and will turn on

A flashing thermometer in the app means manual changes have been made in auto mode. It will flash until the next schedule change or day change.
- 39
The heater keeps losing the connection to the Smartbox.
One reason for this can be that the box is placed too close to the radiator. The box must be at least 2-3 meters away from the heater. Standing right next to the radiator can sometimes cause radio interference.
Solution: Move your box a little further away from the heater.

Only the green LED flashes. No more other LED !
This is a problem with the smart box. It's not working properly. This can happen if the memory is damaged by a power surge or something similar. It can probably be fixed, but will need to be physically programmed.
Check if the problem persists after unplugging the power cord for about 1 minute. If so, the Smartbox must be replaced.
