How does the individual schedule for my connected radiator work?

Summary:

This article will guide you through creating an individual schedule for your device

Introduction:

What is an individual schedule?

Logo - Planning individuel.gif

The individual schedule integrated into your device lets you automate its operation over an entire week, from Monday through Sunday.

You can define precise times for each day, ensuring optimal management without manual intervention. This feature offers flexibility and efficiency throughout the week.

Why create an individual schedule?

The individual schedule automates your device with a weekly routine adapted to your schedule, making it easier to manage your daily routine.

It lets you automate the device without integrating it into the overall schedule, offering flexibility to change the times without affecting the rest of the system.

You can create several individual schedules and easily switch between them to adapt the device to your changing needs, such as during vacations or when your routine changes.

How to create an individual schedule:

1 - Open the Enki app by clicking its icon "".

2 - In the Home tab, select the relevant device to access its control page.

3 - Click "" in the upper-right corner to access the settings.

4 - Two options:

   Flèche Enki 20px.png Select an existing schedule, such as "Default", to edit it.

   Flèche Enki 20px.png Or click + Add a schedule to create a new one.

A schedule is required by the system. The "Default" schedule cannot be deleted or renamed. You can only modify the time periods and settings for each day.

Steps for creating your individual schedule:

Here is a simple example of an individual schedule to help you understand how to set it up. You can adapt it to your needs and settings. (You can create much more complex schedules.)

Example of what we want to do:

It is essential to take a moment to write down your automation ideas in order to precisely define the schedule to follow. Starting at midnight, determine the state of the device and gradually establish a schedule throughout the day.

Monday through Friday:

Here is our objective: adjust the heating of my device according to my schedule. I wake up at 6:30 AM, leave for work at 7:30 AM, return at noon for lunch, leave again at 1:00 PM, finish my day at 6:00 PM, and go to bed at 10:30 PM, as shown below:

Our objective: adjust the living room radiator’s heating according to my schedule. I heat the house from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM for comfort throughout the day, then go to bed at 10:30 PM.

    12:00 AM to 9:00 AM Flèche Enki 20px.png 18°C 
  9:00 AM to 10:30 PM Flèche Enki 20px.png 20°C
  10:30 PM to 11:59 PM Flèche Enki 20px.png 18°C

Example of how to apply it:

02 - Comment fonctionne un planning individuel - Edition - Mettre un nom (Chauffage).gif

01 - [If you are creating a new schedule]: Click Schedule name and enter a name. For the following example, we will call it "My schedule".

It is essential to name your schedule clearly so you can quickly identify it without opening it.

02 - Click Monday to edit your individual schedule for the first day.

12:00 AM–6:00 AM 6:00 AM–9:00 AM 9:00 AM–2:00 PM 2:00 PM–10:00 PM 10:00 PM–11:59 PM
15°C 19°C 17°C 19°C 15°C

A default schedule is available to help you. You can keep it or modify its times and temperature settings.

This schedule is automatically generated based on general household heating habits.

To customize your schedule, start by deleting all existing time periods:

03 - Click the time period to delete

04 - Click "Delete".

Repeat until only one time period remains

12:00 AM  
18°C  

To begin your schedule, start by setting the device temperature at midnight.

In our example, the initial temperature is 18°C at 12:00 AM, so you only need to change it.

In the app, proceed as follows:

03 - Select the first time period at 15°C (the default temperature).

04 - Select the device state (15°C).

05 - Set the desired temperature (18°C here) using the "+" button.

06 - Click "Confirm"

07 - Then click "Save"

Your schedule therefore starts at 18°C from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM.

12:00 AM to 6:00 AM 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM  
18°C 19°C  

To continue, define the next desired time period. For our example, 19°C from 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM. Follow these steps:

08 - Click + Add a time period.

09 - Set the desired Start time (6:00 AM here) and confirm with the OK button.

10 - Do the same for the End time (7:30 AM here) and confirm with OK.

11 - By default, the temperature is 19°C. If this is the desired temperature for the time period, you do not need to change the device state.

12 - Finally, click Save to save.

12:00 AM to 6:00 AM 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM 7:30 AM to 11:59 PM
18°C 19°C 18°C

As you can see, by adding our new time period (6:00–7:30 AM at 19°C) to the 12:00 AM–11:59 PM period at 18°C, the latter was divided. The 18°C setting resumes immediately after 7:30 AM, at the end of the first period.

If the Until the end of the day box had been checked for the End time when creating the second period, the first period would not have been divided and the second would have covered the rest of the day.

Since our next planned period was at 18°C, it has already been reached and we can move on to the next one.

05 - Comment fonctionne un planning individuel - Edition - Plage 02 (Chauffage).png

18°C 19°C 18°C 19.5°C

Continue defining the next time period in the schedule. For our example, 19.5°C from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Follow these steps:

13 - Click + Add a time period.

14 - Set the desired Start time (11:30 AM here) and confirm with the OK button.

15 - Do the same for the End time (1:00 PM here) and confirm with OK.

16 - Select the device state (19°C here), set the desired temperature (19.5°C here) using the "+" button, then click Confirm.

17 - Finally, click Save to save.

12:00 AM to 6:00 AM 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM 1:00 PM to 11:59 PM
18°C 19°C 18°C 19.5°C 18°C

The automatic addition of the 19.5°C period divided the 18°C period, which resumes at 1:00 PM.

As expected, the temperature returns to 18°C after 1:00 PM, so we can move on to the next period.

How do I start the individual schedule on my device?

15 - Comment fonctionne un planning individuel - Activer le planning individuel.gif

To start your device according to the schedule you created and make it autonomous, follow these steps:

01 - Click your device tile on the "Home" screen.

02 - Click "Change" in the "Control type" tile.

03 - Check that your device is set to individual control and not home control

04 - Select the tile: Device schedule

05 - Click "Edit" and select your schedule, named "My schedule" here.

06 - Click "Save"

07 - Finally, click Confirm.

How does the device behave?

If your radiator does not have the built-in schedule feature:

There is no specific visual response. The radiator simply adjusts the temperature according to the individual schedule, which is executed on the platform. Commands are sent to the device to apply the settings. If the internet connection is interrupted while the command is being sent, the radiator will not change its setting.

If your radiator has the built-in schedule feature:

The schedule is displayed on your screen with the setting and end time. It is executed locally on the radiator, which continues to follow the schedule even without an internet connection.

Things to know about individual schedules:

  • How many setting changes can I apply per day?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png You can make up to 20 time changes per day in the schedule.
09 - Comment fonctionne un planning individuel - Message d'erreur - Nombre de plage supérieur à 20.png

When editing your schedule, you can exceed 20 time periods, but an error message appears when saving:

  • "At least one day in your schedule exceeds the limit of 20 periods"

You must therefore reduce the number to a maximum of 20 time periods per day to save.

  • How do I delete an individual schedule?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png You can delete an individual schedule while editing it.

01 - Select the device on the "Home" screen.

02 - Open its settings using the gear icon "" in the upper-right corner.

03 - Under "Schedules", select the schedule to delete.

04 - Scroll down and click "Delete", then confirm again by clicking "Delete".

The schedule will be deleted and you will return to the device settings.

10 - Comment fonctionne un planning individuel - Supprimer un planning.gif

To delete the schedule, change the device's schedule or switch it to manual mode.

11 - Comment fonctionne un planning individuel - Message d'erreur - Supprimer un planning.gif
  • Why does the first time period remain at 12:00 AM–11:59 PM when I set a time and confirm it?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png If only one time period is defined, it automatically covers the entire day (12:00 AM to 11:59 PM). To obtain the desired time period, you must set only the desired device state at the beginning of the schedule (12:00 AM) in the first proposed time period (12:00 AM–11:59 PM), then add a second time period with the device state and times you want to apply (by clicking "+ Add a time period").
  • Can I name multiple schedules with the same name?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png No, each schedule must have a unique name.

  • Can my device be controlled through the "Heating" menu?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png No, it is not a heating device, so it cannot be controlled from this menu.
  • Why can't I delete the "Default" schedule?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png A schedule is required by the system. The "Default" schedule cannot be deleted or renamed. You can only modify the time periods and settings for each day.
  • How do I know if my device is following a schedule?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png If your device has a built-in schedule, it is displayed on the screen. Otherwise, the displayed temperature setting should match the schedule.
  • How do I check whether my device received the setting?
    Flèche Enki 20px.png When the schedule is activated, the temperature setting should update. For a built-in schedule, it is also displayed on the screen.
