The Ideal Halo control is a versatile thermostat designed to manage both heating temperature and hot water schedules in your home. It comes in two main variants: the Halo Heat & System RF, which is a non-connected control, and the Halo Heat & System Wi-Fi, which offers internet connectivity and app control.
The Halo control is a battery-powered, wireless device that communicates with a Smart Interface wired into your boiler using the Zigbee protocol. For the Wi-Fi variant, it also connects to your home Wi-Fi network, allowing for remote control via the Halo app, available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. The app itself is free to use, and for those with the RF version, an upgrade to app-controlled heating is possible for a connection fee. The Halo manages central heating zones and hot water, displaying current room temperature, target temperature, and the active mode (Auto, Manual, or Off) on its screen. It also indicates when hot water is on and when heating is active with an orange dot and a flame symbol, respectively.
The Halo features a central dial for adjusting temperature and navigating menus. Pressing the dial alternates between heating and hot water control. Left and right-hand buttons are used for menu entry and mode switching, respectively.
A red, empty battery symbol on the screen indicates that the Halo batteries need replacement. The Halo unit can be desk-mounted or wall-mounted. To access the batteries, gently pull the Halo away from its rear housing using the finger grabs at the top and bottom. Do not use a screwdriver. Replace the old batteries with 4 new AA Alkaline batteries, ensuring correct orientation. Position the Halo back onto the rear housing and push until it clicks into place. After battery replacement, the Halo will undergo a short synchronization process to reconnect with the Smart Interface before returning to the home screen.
The Halo Smart Interface, installed in the boiler, and the Halo Smart Wiring Centre (for multi-zone systems) are key components. While you typically won't interact with them directly, their LED indicators can help diagnose technical issues. Both have Failsafe/Override features to allow boiler operation if wireless communication is lost. The Smart Interface has LEDs for Power, Boiler activity, Connectivity (for Wi-Fi models), and Zigbee connection, along with an Override button and a Pairing button. The Smart Wiring Centre has LEDs for Power/Override, Pair, Heating Zone 1, Heating Zone 2 (if applicable), and Hot Water, along with buttons for manual override of zone valves.
