Futurehome Smart Thermostat (black)

Introduction

Futurehome Smart Thermostat is fitted to Norwegian wall boxes and installation systems, which makes it easy to switch from conventional thermostats to a smart solution. The thermostat is compatible with 10, 12, 15 and 47 kOhm sensors and can withstand loads of 16A / 3600W.

Installation guide

1. Install the thermostat according to the wiring diagram.
2. In the Futurehome app, go to settings → devices → add device → Zigbee → start.
3. Press and hold the minus button on the thermostat for 8 seconds. The Zigbee icon should start flashing on the thermostats display.
4. When the app finds the device, press “Ok, done”
5. Click on the thermostat in the device list and then press “Settings”.
6. Give the thermostat a name and place it in a room → save.

Inclusion

To connect the device with the Smarthub, the hub must be set to inclusion mode. This is done by going to settings → devices → add new device → Zigbee → start. When the app searches for the device, set the thermostat to inclusion mode. This is done by holding down the minus key (-) for 8 seconds. The Zigbee icon on the thermostat should be flashing.

When the thermostat has been found, tap "Ok, done!". The device is now at the bottom of your device list. Tap on it → go to settings → give the device a name, a function and a room.

Exclusion

To delete the device, go to the device list → select the relay → settings → delete. It will load for 5 seconds before confirming that it has been deleted.

OTA update

On March 2nd, a Zigbee update was released which introduces OTA update for the thermostat:

• Improvements in temperature reporting.
• Fixed erroneous temperature readings.
• Improvements in energy reporting.

To start the update, you must first update the Smarthub, see instructions here. Once the Smarthub is updated, the thermostat will start the update automatically. You will receive status updates on the update in your timeline.

Configuration

The thermostat has two temperature sensors, an internal room sensor and a floor sensor. You select which sensor you want to use in the thermostat's menu. Open it on the device by holding down (+) and (-) at the same time for 5 seconds. Setting No. 1 is sensor selection, press (...) to enter the sensor menu. Here you select the sensor with the (+) and (-) keys:
00 = internal room sensor
01 = floor sensor
02 = maximum guard.
When the correct sensor is selected, press the power button to confirm.

The thermostat has two channels (if you have questions about channels, you can follow this link). The first channel is the main channel which contains the thermostat function and the temperature sensor you have selected on the thermostat. Channel 2 is the temperature sensor you did not select.

Power measurement

The latest version of the thermostat has an internal power meter. If you don't see the consumption automatically, it means you have the first version without a power meter.

This can be resolved by pressing "additional features" within the thermostat and manually entering the power consumption. If you don't know the consumption, it is recommended that an electrician measure it with a clamp meter or try turning the thermostat on and off a few times to see the difference in total consumption. Enter the value in watts, not kilowatts. (Ex. 1800, not 1.8).

Settings on the thermostat

To open the menu on the thermostat, hold (+) and (-) together for 5 seconds. In the menu, numbers displayed represent each setting. To edit the setting, press (...). Then change the value of the setting with + and -, and save with the power button.

1. Sensor type:
   0 - Internal room sensor
   1 - Floor sensor
   2 - Max guard (regulates based on air temperature, but has a maximum limit on the floor sensor. This is suitable for e.g. wooden floors).
   
   
2. Floor sensor type:
   0 - 10 kOhm (supplied).
   1 - 12 kOhm
   2 - 15 kOhm 3 - 47 kOhm
   
   
3. Max guard temperature: 20-95°C. Standard is 27°C.
   --: No limit.
   
   
4. Hysteresis: 1-9°C. Standard is 2°C.
   
   
5. Calibration: -9 to +9°C. Default is 0°C.
   
   
6. Highest set point: 35-90°C. Standard is 35°C.
   
   
7. Lowest set point: 0-30 °C. Standard is 5°C.
   
   
8. Home mode set point: (This is a mode on the thermostat, not in the app, and must not be confused). Standard is 22°C.
   
   
9. Away mode set point: Standard is 15°C.
   
   
10. Brightness of the display in sleep mode: 1-10. The default is 1.
    
    
11. Open window detection:
    0 - disabled
    1 - enabled
    
    
12. Restarting the thermostat: Select == and wait 5 seconds.
    
    
13. Factory settings: Select == and wait 5 seconds.

The modes

There are 5 modes on the thermostat: heat, home, eco away, sleep and auto.

Heat: This is the recommended mode that follows your command, either by manually pressing the device, changing the temperature in the app or by automations in the app's modes, shortcuts or automations.

Home: This sets the thermostat's own home mode. The temperature is then set to 22 degrees and the temperature cannot be changed in the app. You can manually change this temperature on the thermostat, see setting 8 in the thermostat's menu.

Eco away: This sets the thermostat's own away mode. Then the temperature is set to 15 degrees and the temperature cannot be changed in the app. You can manually change this temperature on the thermostat, see setting 9 in the thermostat's menu.

Sleep: The night mode sets the temperature to 18 degrees. This cannot be changed on the thermostat or via the app.

Auto: The thermostat has a built-in weekly program. On auto, it is this program that runs. The program is intended as an alternative for those who do not want to configure the mode/shortcut/automation on their own, and thus cannot be changed. For most people, it will be correct not to use auto, but rather to create their own modes/shortcuts/automation.

Troubleshooting the thermostat

In order for the thermostat to be as stable as possible, we strongly recommend only using the heat mode. After this, you can instead set up automations, app modes or shortcuts that change your temperature.

Does the thermostat change modes by itself?

• It could be that the thermostat is in auto mode on the thermostat, which causes jumping between modes in a weekly program. The solution is to set heat mode.
• If you have activated the Power Control Panel, this optimisation will be able to set modes on the thermostat. In these cases, it is supposed to switch between modes to save power.
