Advanced algorithm (PID)
The Advanced heating algorithm (PID: Proportional-Integral-
Derivative), smarter than the Hysteresis algorithm, allows a
better regulation of the ambient temperature with less
oscillations around the setpoint temperature, by taking into
account the inertia of the heating system in your home, and
greater responsiveness.
During the first weeks of operation (during heating season),
the Thermostat will automatically learn the specific
characteristics of your heating system and your home,
including their thermal inertia and the effectiveness of
insulation.
When these parameters are determined after a few days of
learning (without any intervention on your part), a
notification in the Netatmo Energy application warns you
that the Advanced algorithm is ready to be activated
(provided that your heating is compatible - see next page).
NB: The characteristics of the house continue to be analyzed
after the activation of the PID. The algorithms are
automatically adjusted every 2 weeks if necessary.
Notes :
• The minimal heating time can be set between 2 and 7 min to
suit all types of heating.
• The use of the PID algorithm is automatically suspended for all
setpoint temperatures less or equal to 14°C. The hysteresis
algorithm is then reactivated: it is indeed useless to switch the
heating more frequently to improve comfort when an economic
setpoint is activated. The PID algorithm is reactivated as soon
as the setpoint goes above 14°C.
