Genius Hub functions by dividing the space into zones, utilising our Genius Radiator Valves or Electric Switches to control heating in each zone. The Genius Hub is used for remote access, intelligent scheduling, occupancy detection, and heating analytics, allowing businesses to optimise heating efficiency, reduce energy waste, and customise comfort levels based on occupancy and usage patterns.
Connects the devices to the internet, allowing remote control from anywhere
This switch is connected to the boiler and is wirelessly controlled by the Genius Hub when zones are requesting heat
Allows each radiator to be controlled automatically
Automatically turns on heating when you arrive and off when you leave
The Genius Hub connects to your internet router using an Ethernet cable. It communicates with all the devices in your home through wireless technologies called Z-Wave and Zigbee, not Wi-Fi. Z-Wave & Zigbee are great at reaching through walls and use very little power, so your device batteries can last up to a year. This also means the Genius Hub won’t disrupt your Wi-Fi-connected devices. If your boiler can be controlled through a switched live or a volt-free contact on its thermostat terminals, the Genius Hub can control it.
