There are several types of heating devices supported in Enki 2.0 that you can control:

Connected heaters: they are controlled by temperature by setting the desired setpoint temperature
"Pilot wire" modules/receivers: they are controlled by an order among "Comfort", "Eco", "Frost protection", or "Off".
ON/OFF modules: they are controlled using the object's on or off commands.
Connected thermostats and thermostatic heads: they are controlled by temperature by setting the desired setpoint temperature

Here is the example below of a room named "Living Room" in which the user has a heater equipped with a pilot wire module and a connected radiator:

Note that some pilot wire modules support up to six orders instead of four, which adds the orders "Comfort -1°" and "Comfort -2°" to your control options.

Control Your Heating

There are two ways to control your heating in Enki 2.0:

Individual control: simple and direct, you set for each device at any time the temperature or heating order.
Individual programming: you create heating programs individually for your heating equipment
Control by mode and schedule: you organize the control of your heaters according to your lifestyle and schedule to automate the management of your radiators

Individual Control

On the home screen, you find all your heating devices sorted into the different rooms of your home with the current setpoint (desired temperature or pilot wire order):

By clicking on the device, you can modify the setpoint.

Warning: When the Schedule is active, the direct adjustment buttons (+ and -) are grayed out or inactive to avoid errors. To change the temperature, you must click on the text link 'Create an override' located under the setpoint

Pilot Wire Modules

By opening the screen of a radiator equipped with a pilot wire module, you can change the desired order among the four or six supported orders:

There are four or six possible orders depending on the radiator:

Comfort: to use when you are in the room. ADEME recommends a temperature of 19°C.
Eco: to use at night or during an absence of a few hours. ADEME recommends a gap of 3.5°C below the comfort mode, to optimize the energy consumption necessary to return to the Comfort temperature.
Frost protection: to use during long absences (several days), generally around 7°C.
OFF: use to completely turn off your radiator.

If your radiators support six orders, you have two new possible orders:

Comfort -1: 1°C below comfort mode
Comfort -2: 2°C below comfort mode

The temperatures associated with pilot wire orders can be customized on the radiator itself if it allows it. Refer to the radiator's manual for more information.

Warning: When the Schedule is active, the direct setpoint change buttons are grayed out or inactive to avoid errors. To change the temperature, you must click on the text link 'Create an override' located under the setpoint

ON/OFF Modules

With ON/OFF modules, it is possible to control your heating devices by sending an on or off command to them.

Connected Heaters, Thermostats, and Thermostatic Heads

For a heating device controlled by temperature, such as a connected heater, you can monitor the measured temperature and set the setpoint temperature by clicking the + and - buttons to adjust the setpoint.

Tip: it is also possible to modify setpoints from a scenario action!

Individual Programming

From the control screen of your heating equipment, you also have an entry named "Programming" which allows you to define schedules on which your device changes setpoints. In addition to schedules, you can choose the repetition of your programs on the days of the week.

A very practical feature to program an auxiliary heater outside the general house programming managed by the heating screen with modes and schedules.

Control by Mode and Schedule

To manage all the heating in your home more efficiently, we introduce "Modes" and "Schedules".

To do this, go to the "Heating" screen by clicking on the icon at the bottom:

Summary

The summary page allows you to see your entire heating system at a glance. You can know which schedule is active, which mode is current, and which mode is next.

On this tab, there is also the possibility to individually control all the heaters you have installed in the Enki application.

Modes

A mode allows you to define setpoints on one or more heaters in a grouped way.

By default, Enki automatically creates the following three basic modes:

Present: to use when you are home during the day
Absent: to use when you are away (with a default setting of 16°C for radiators and Eco for pilot wires)
Night: to use when you sleep

The 3 basic modes are editable but cannot be deleted.

You can then add your own personalized lifestyle modes according to your habits, for example "Telework", "Evening", "Vacation" ... by clicking the button at the top right of the screen

Add or Edit Modes

When you add or edit a mode, you simply need to select the heaters you want to include in the mode and the desired setpoint (desired temperature or pilot wire order) for this mode.

For example, let's create a "Telework" mode that controls the office radiator at 20°C (without changing the setpoint in the kitchen):

In a second example shown below, configure a mode to control the heaters as follows:

Radiator in the office: 20°C
Radiator in the kitchen (pilot wire): Comfort -2
Radiator in the bathroom: 17°C

Activate Modes

At any time you can activate a mode by simply clicking the button of the desired mode.

Once the mode is activated, it is identified in the list with the term "Active" so you can know at a glance the current mode. By clicking on the icon you can stop all your heaters.

Tips for Defining Your Modes

We designed modes to allow you to control your entire home according to your different life moments rather than radiator by radiator.

The "Present" mode when you are home during the day. ADEME's recommendation is to configure your living rooms around 19°C or Comfort order and bedrooms at 16°C or Eco order (if not used during the day) in this mode.
The "Night" mode when you sleep. ADEME's recommendation is to configure your bedrooms around 17°C or Comfort -2°C order and your living rooms at 16°C or Eco order in this mode.
The "Absent" mode when no one is home. ADEME's recommendation is to set all your radiators with a setpoint temperature around 16°C or Eco order.
If you have specific presence days (Wednesday, telework, etc.), you can create an associated mode and configure your rooms and devices according to your habit. For example, you can create a "Telework" mode in which you heat your workspace around 19°C or Comfort order while the rest of the house is at 16°C.
If you have specific life moments (evening, weekend, etc.), for which you want finer management of rooms to optimize your comfort and consumption, you can create a specific mode according to your need.
For long absences, you can create a "Vacation" mode in which you set all your devices to Frost protection order.

You can create up to 20 different modes.

At any time from your Enki app, you activate with one click the mode you want.

Schedules

To automate the regulation of your heating, Enki 2.0 allows you to design weekly schedules to automatically activate your modes according to your lifestyle habits.

To do this, in the heating screen, click on the "Schedules" tab.

By default, Enki offers you to create a personalized schedule via a questionnaire or allows you to automatically create the "Default Schedule" which you can then rename or edit. You can also create up to 10 schedules by clicking the button at the top right.

Two solutions are offered for creating a new schedule, the simplified or the fully manual one:

Add a Schedule Easily Using the Questionnaire

When adding a new schedule, if you choose "Simple Configuration", a questionnaire about your habits will be offered, allowing us to create a pre-filled schedule for you. You can always modify this schedule to add special cases.

Add or Edit Schedules Manually

When you add or edit a schedule, you simply need, for each day of the week of your schedule, to define which mode to activate according to the time of day.

The schedule created by default will look like this:

By clicking on a day you can edit the programming:

In the example above, for each day of the week, the schedule will activate:

the "Night" mode from midnight to 6am
then the "Present" mode from 6am to 9am
then the "Absent" mode from 9am to 5pm
then again the "Present" mode from 5pm to 10pm
and finally the "Night" mode from 10pm to 11:59pm.

To copy this day's programming to other days of the week, click on "Apply to other days" then select the desired days.

To add or modify a time slot in your schedule, click on an existing time slot or on "Add a time slot".

For each time slot, you define:

the start time and end time
the desired heating mode for this time slot, among all the heating modes you have created as well as the three basic modes (Present, Absent, and Night).

Delete a Personalized Schedule

You can delete schedules you have manually created if you no longer use them.

The procedure:

Go to the "Heating" menu.
Press the "Schedules" tab
Select the personalized schedule you want to delete.
Once on the schedule editing page, press the "Delete" button at the very bottom.

⚠️ Important: The "Default Schedule" (created automatically by Enki) cannot be deleted.

Activate Schedules

You can now activate a schedule by simply clicking on the icon . Once activated, you can stop this schedule by clicking on the icon and thus stop all programming.

The example below shows a user who has three schedules, the first named "Default Schedule" is active:

You will thus be able to switch easily from one schedule to another or stop everything (for example in summer).

Our Tips to Optimize Your Schedules

We designed the MODES and SCHEDULES functions to allow you to optimize your device programming as close as possible to your life, with different types of radiators. By taking a few minutes to program your devices, you will have both more comfort and maximum energy savings.

Here is an example of a user who uses 6 different modes to be as close as possible to his life moments:

By having defined 3 additional modes, this then allows him to have truly different schedules from one day to another, and therefore as close as possible to his needs.

On Tuesday, he teleworks and thus uses this mode to have only his office in Comfort mode during the day. He watches TV in the evening every day and thus created a mode for that moment.

On Saturday, he uses an "Evening" mode that extends until 11:00 PM.

It's your turn to make Enki the best partner for your comfort and energy savings!
