6 – Energy source selection
Gas, fuel oil, electric boiler and
“I don’t know”:
the PID algorithm is preferred, with
a hysteresis threshold of 0.1°C for
the learning period, and a
minimum ignition time of 2
minutes for the PID.
Wood:
the hysteresis mode is
preferred, with a threshold of
0.3°C. It is strongly
recommended not to use the
advanced algorithm (PID) on
pellet stoves.
Heat pump:
the PID algorithm is
preferred, with a hysteresis
threshold of 0.5°C for the
learning period, and a
minimum ignition time of 7
minutes with the PID.
It is always possible to force the algorithm and threshold of your choice, regardless of the defined energy type.
It is recommended to only change these settings if you perfectly understand the consequences.
The Thermostat adapts its operation to the different energy sources used for heating thanks to optimized
profiles. The selection of the energy source is done from the parameters of the Netatmo Energie application:
Manage my home > Home parameters > My home profile > Energy source
Choosing one of the five types of energy source only influences the default choice for the heating algorithm:
the hysteresis algorithm and its threshold, or the Advanced algorithm (PID) and its minimum ignition time.
Devices that are most tolerant to frequently being switched on/off can run with the most reactive settings.
