07.04.12 Smart function Geofencing
The Geolocation function of the User's Smartphone is
used to detect if someone is at home or away from
home. To use the function, the position of the installa-
tion must be known. For this purpose, the installation
for which the location is to be set must be selected
under More → Account Management → Buildings /
Apartments. If the location function of the used smart
device is activated, the location button can be clicked.
This can be found next to the address line. The current
location of the used device is entered.
The heating system is reduced if no one is home, to
save on heating costs. Once the homeowner's Smart-
phone is detected within the Geofence the heating
system is started again as the homeowner gets closer
to home.
Geofencing is a useful function if all home users have
a smart phone and usually carry it with them when
they leave home. It only works for rooms that are in
timed mode. If the room is in timed mode "Normal"
and no one is at home, the room will be switched to
Reduced mode.
Geofencing should not be activated on tablets that
stay at home.
