1. The Genius Hub install
Set up the Genius Hub next to the broadband internet router. Locate
one of the free ‘Ethernet’ jacks on the back of the router. The short
internet cable (provided) should link the Genius Hub to the broadband
router.
Plug the USB power cable into the power supply included with the
Genius Hub and plug the power supply into a wall socket (not an
extension lead).
Try and ensure that the Genius Hub is in an open space and not
hidden away behind many heavy objects.
The low power wireless communication to the other devices is easily
stopped by thick walls, large metal objects, and water.

2. Installing the thermostat
The thermostat is the master controller for all of the rooms in the
house. The temperature it measurers is used to determine whether or
not to turn on the rooms which do not have room sensors.
It is important to site it in a cool (ideally north facing room) so that it
will always allow rooms to come on when they are set to, on the app.
The thermostat needs to be placed on a wall and be in radio range
with the Genius Hub.
First take the thermostat to the position in the house where it is likely
to be located
. Next insert the batteries into the back of the
thermostat. Leave it in the position where it will be fixed to the wall.
Within 20 minutes the thermostat will report a temperature back to the
app. If it does not it will need to be moved closer to the Genius Hub.

t a temperature back to the
f it does not it will need to be moved closer to the Genius Hub.

3. Installing the boiler controller
Types of boiler
The Genius Hub has been tested with most makes of combination
boiler (properties with no hot water tank) and system boiler
(properties with a hot water tank).
For combination boilers. In many cases you can swap the boiler
programmer with the Genius Hub Boiler Controller (Single). You need
to ensure that terminals L, N, 2 & 4 on the Genius Hub boiler controller
are wired correctly.
Boiler programmers often use a standard back-plate. In this case you
can remove the screws from the underside of the existing programmer
and swap the existing programmer for the Heat Genius Boiler
Controller (Single), without needing to do any re-wiring. If there is no
boiler programmer the Genius Hub Boiler Controller (Single) must be
wired into the boiler as if it were an external programmer or
thermostat. See wiring diagrams provided by boiler manufacturer
to confirm the wiring guide in this installation manual.
For system boilers. The existing programmer must be exchanged
with the Heat Genius Boiler Controller (Dual) to control the heating and
the hot water. In many cases where there is an existing room
thermostat, the Heat Genius Thermostat can replace where the old
house thermostat used to be located. Note that the wiring for the old
thermostat is no longer required, it can be removed of linked through.
If there is no existing programmer then the Genius Hub Boiler
Controller (dual) should be wired directly into the wiring centre. See
wiring diagrams provided by boiler manufacturer to confirm the
wiring guide in this installation manual.

4. Setting up the smart plug(s) around the house
The smart plugs are used to relay the messages to and from the
Genius Hub and the valves, room sensors, boiler controller and
thermostat. The signals travel in straight lines and the only devices
that relay the messages are the smart plugs and the boiler controller.
If only one smart plug is provided position it halfway between the
Genius Hub and the furthest other device in the house.
Consider that thick stone on concrete walls will be impossible for the
wireless signal to penetrate, so the smart plug may need to be
positioned in a wall socket, which gives a longer route but through
thinner walls.
Do not plug anything into the smart plug that needs to remain on all of
the time such as a fridge or freezer. The smart plugs intermittently turn
off, causing anything that you plug into it to also turn off.
For large properties with more smart plugs, they will need to be
plugged into wall sockets in a central location. Ideally one smart plug
will be positioned in the same room as the Genius Hub, and one smart
plug put one on each floor directly above or below the Genius Hub.
When setting up the network remember to close all the doors in the
house to make sure the signals will find the best routes.
16
5. Setting up the app
The Hub now needs to be set up with the rooms that the customer
wants to control.
Log onto the customer’s WiFi network with your smart phone or the
device that the customer plans to control the heating with.
Ask the customer for a list of the rooms and ask them to put them in
order with the more important ones at the top.
The Heat Genius App
If you have not already, you will need to download the Heat Genius
app.
If you don’t have a smartphone then visit the Heat Genius Website
and click on the ‘My Hub’ in the top right hand corner.
www.heatgenius.co.uk
To launch the app click on the ‘My Hub’ link on the Heat Genius
website, or launch the app on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
Logging in for the first time
When first installed all Genius Hubs have a temporary username
and password.
17
To login, locate the blue ID on the bottom of the Genius Hub. This
needs to be included into the format below:
Username format: (remember to include the ‘*’ AND ‘:’ )
*B8:27:EB: : :
So the username for the system above would be:
*B8:27:EB:12:3A:BC
Password:
*
18
6. Adding new zones to the house (on the app)
If the customer does not have any radiator valves or room sensors
then skip sections 6 - 8 and go straight to section 9.
Note: the creating of the rooms on the app may have already
been done before the system was shipped.
If the customer has individual radiators or smart plugs that need to be
controlled, first the rooms need to be added to the app. Note: you can
have more than one radiator in a room if you wish.
On the home screen,
tap on the circled icon
at the top and select
‘Setup’.
Tap on ‘New Zone’.
You then will be
prompted to enter a
room name and type.
Tap ‘Ok’ to save.
Any smart plugs used to control devices need their own rooms. These
should be set up with the room type “Hot Water / Smart Plug”.
Create all of the rooms now.
19
7. Adding the devices to the individual zones
Note: the putting of the devices into the rooms on the app may
have already been done before the system was shipped.
All of the devices now need to be put into the rooms in the app.
On the home screen,
tap on the circled icon
at the top and select
‘Setup’.
Choose the zone that
the device is going into.
Tap ‘Add Device’
Tap ‘Include New Z-
Wave Node”.
Select the device type
and follow the
instructions.
Once finished select the
device and tap “OK”.
20
Now take those devices to the room and install them. See step 8.
8. Adding the valves and room sensors to the house
Radiator valve details
The Radiator Valves are electronic and communicate wirelessly with
the Genius Hub telling the system what temperature the room has
been set to, and if the rooms requires the boiler to be on.
The Radiator valves require 2 x AA
batteries (supplied). Access these
under the cover and use your nail
to release the catch.
Rechargeable Batteries must not
be used as their voltage is too low
(1.2V not 1.5V, as is required).
Each Radiator Va
lve comes with
two adaptors.
The two adaptors convert this to a
M30x1.5(K) thread (the UK
standard) or a Danfoss RA valve.
If neither of these fit the valves in
the property then new Danfoss RA-
FS valve bodies can be purchased
directly from Heat Genius.
Once the valve has batteries, a ‘21º’ should
appear on the screen. Press and hold the middle
button for 3 seconds or until M appears on the
screen. Then press the middle button again until
the valve buzzes and the plunger on the
underside of the val
ve retracts up inside the
valve.
The valve MUST be in mount mode
when it is attached to the radiator.
