Overview

The Ignite Smart Sensor is a device designed to enhance the efficiency of your heating system by detecting temperature, motion, and humidity. It integrates with an existing Ignite Heating System, providing data that helps optimize heating performance.

Function Description

The primary function of the Ignite Smart Sensor is to monitor environmental conditions within a room. It measures temperature, allowing your heating system to maintain a comfortable climate efficiently. The motion sensing capability helps the system understand occupancy patterns, potentially saving energy by adjusting heating when a room is empty. Humidity detection further contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the indoor environment, enabling more precise and responsive heating control. This data is transmitted wirelessly to the Ignite Receiver (for Wireless/LITE systems) or Thermostat (for Wired systems) via a low-power radio signal.

Usage Features

The Smart Sensor is designed for straightforward use and integration into your home automation setup.

Pairing: Before installation, the Smart Sensor needs to be paired with your Ignite System. The pairing process varies slightly depending on your specific Ignite device:

  • Ignite Wired: Press and hold 'CH MODE' and 'BOOST CH' keys on the Room Thermostat until 'C5' is displayed.
  • Ignite Wireless / LITE (March 2021 onwards): Long press both buttons on the Receiver until '1' and 'WiFi' lights flash slowly. Use the LEFT button to cycle to 'CH', then press the RIGHT button.
  • Ignite Wireless 4 channel / LITE 4 channel (March 2021 onwards): Long press both buttons on the Receiver until '1' and 'WiFi' lights flash slowly. Use the LEFT button to cycle to the desired heating zone number (1-4), then press the RIGHT button.
  • Ignite Wireless (March 2021 and earlier): Short press the pairing (middle) button on the Relay Module until all three lights flash green, then press the CH button.

For the Smart Sensor itself, ensure the Inspire leaf logo is at the top, then press and hold the 'V' button for 5 seconds. All 5 LEDs will slowly flash, indicating it's in pairing mode. A successful pairing is indicated by the centre LED rapidly flashing. If pairing fails, the two outside LEDs will rapidly flash, prompting you to retry the procedure.

Testing the System: After pairing, it's crucial to test the signal strength in your desired location. The ideal placement for the Smart Sensor is at a height of 1.0-1.5 meters in a high-traffic area. To enter signal strength mode, hold the '∧' arrow button for 5 seconds. A sweeping LED display will indicate signal detection in progress. The strength is measured on a scale of 1-5 lighting LEDs; for effective operation, a minimum of two LEDs should be lit. If the unit hasn't been paired, two outside LEDs will rapidly flash, indicating a need to return to the pairing instructions.

Boost Function: The Smart Sensor includes a "Boost" function. To activate Boost, press the '∧' button twice. To cancel Boost, press the 'V' button twice. This feature likely provides a temporary increase in heating or a specific mode for a short period.

Online Account Integration: Once paired, you can log in to your online account to view and configure your new Smart Sensor. If you're adding multiple Smart Sensors, you can rename them via your online account by clicking on the unit setup. It is recommended to name them as you pair them to the Ignite system for easier identification and management.

Radio Signal Considerations: When choosing a location, consider the radio signal path. The signal degrades with distance and, more significantly, when passing through objects like walls. The Smart Sensor communicates via a low-power radio. While it should generally communicate through two single-skin brick or stud walls, thick or multiple walls can impede the signal. Large metal objects such as boilers, radiators, and mirrors can also adversely affect radio performance; ensure the sensor is placed at least 1 meter away from such objects. If signal issues persist, consider repositioning components or exploring an Ignite Signal Booster.

Maintenance Features

The Ignite Smart Sensor is designed for easy installation and battery replacement.

Battery Installation and Replacement:

  1. To access the battery compartment, hold the back plate and rotate the outer cover anticlockwise.
  2. Insert the two supplied AAA alkaline batteries.
  3. To secure the outer cover, reverse the process, rotating it clockwise until it locks into place.

Installation:

  1. Remove the outer cover as described for battery installation.
  2. Remove the batteries.
  3. Hold the device in the desired mounting position and mark the screw mounting points on the wall.
  4. Drill holes and insert the supplied wall plugs if required.
  5. Mount the device using the supplied screws.
  6. Re-insert the batteries.
  7. Secure the outer cover by rotating it clockwise.

Environmental Considerations: The Smart Sensor should not be installed in areas subject to extended periods of high humidity, such as bathrooms, as this could affect its performance or longevity.
