T2 Wireless Thermostat Overview
The Herschel iQ T2 Thermostat and R2 receiver regulate Herschel Infrared Heaters, incorporating energy-saving features like 'Open Window' technology and 'Adaptive Start'. The T2 thermostat offers 7-day programming, Eco, and Manual modes. It controls the R2 receiver, which switches the heaters on/off and acts as the internet gateway for remote control via the SmartLife App. The R2 receiver supports up to 10 amps; ensure sufficient R2 units for the heating load. Each R2 must be paired to a T2. The R2 provides a limited Boost function and no temperature control on its own. The appliance is rated IP20 and must be installed outside bathroom splash zones.
System Diagram: A smartphone with WiFi connection communicates with an R2 receiver, which wirelessly communicates with a T2 thermostat. The T2 thermostat displays room temperature, time, program status, and heating status.

Installation
T2 Stand-alone Installation:
The T2 can be placed on a flat surface using its integrated stand.
T2 Wall-mounted Installation:
The T2 can be mounted on a wall using a wall plate, which houses the wiring terminals.
Initial Setup
- Insert 2 x AAA batteries into the T2.
Pairing Instructions T2 to R2
Pairing the First R2 to a T2:
- Switch on the R2. Confirm LED2 is green.
- Long press the Boost button on the R2 until LED 1 flickers Red.
- Turn OFF the T2.
- Long press the MENU button on the T2 until a code appears on the display.
- Tap the MENU button a second time; the code will flash.
- Pairing is complete when the code stops flashing and LED 1 on the R2 stops flickering.
Note: The first R2 paired becomes the internet Gateway. LED 1 will flash slowly RED until paired with the Smartlife App. The R2 functions with the T2 without SmartLife, but LED 1 will continue to flash slowly red. The T2 display indicates heating status.
Pairing Additional R2s to a T2:
- Switch on the R2. Confirm LED2 is green.
- Long press the Boost button on the R2 until LED 1 flickers Red.
- Turn OFF the T2.
- Long press the MENU button on the T2 until a code appears on the display.
- Tap the "Up" arrow button once.
- LED 1 on the R2 stops flickering.
- The R2 is now controllable by the T2.
Downloading the Smartlife App
Scan the QR code or search for "Smart Life" on the App Store or Google Play. Register an account using an email address and password, and accept the terms of use.
App Icons: Look for the Smart Life app icon (a stylized house with WiFi signal waves).
Pairing the R2 to the SmartLife App
Ensure the R2 is within router range and your mobile phone is connected to the 2.4 GHz WiFi signal.
- On the SmartLife App main screen, press the '+' button to add a device.
- Select "Small Home Appliance" and then "Thermostat".
- Verify the SSID is your network and enter the password.
- Press and hold the BOOST button on the R2 until LED1 rapidly flickers red.
- In the App, press "Confirm indicator rapidly blink".
- Pairing is complete when the Red LED on the R2 stops flashing. The App will then show the R2 management screen.
Note: The Smartlife App is subject to updates. Check the Herschel website for the latest instructions.
Clearing All Pairing
To use R2s with a different T2, press the Power button and BOOST button together on the R2 for 5 seconds. LED1 and LED2 will illuminate and then switch off upon release.
Signal Lost
If the R2 loses WiFi connection, LED 1 flashes red slowly. It remains controllable by the T2. If the R2 loses connection with the T2, it retains its current setting, and LED 1 flashes red slowly.
Time & Day Setting
- Turn the T2 on.
- Press and hold the MENU button for 3 seconds until the minutes display flashes. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the minutes (1-minute increments).
- Press MENU again to adjust the hour. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to change the hour (24-hour clock).
- Press MENU again to select the day. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to select 1 (Monday) through 7 (Sunday).
- Press the Return button to exit.
Mode Selection and Settings
The T2 offers three operating modes: Manual, ECO, and Program Mode.
- Manual Mode: Maintains a single set temperature. Displayed with a '✔' symbol.
- ECO Mode: Economizes on heat. Displayed with a '✔' symbol and a moon icon.
- Program Mode: Adjusts temperature based on time of day and week. Displayed with 'PRG'.
Setting Mode Temperatures:

Selecting a mode via the MENU button overrides the current schedule or setpoint.
Program Mode
The T2 features a 7-day timer with 4 periods per day. The default schedule is:
Period | Time | Temperature |
---|---|---|
Period 1 | 06:30 | 21°C |
Period 2 | 08:00 | 18°C |
Period 3 | 18:00 | 21°C |
Period 4 | 22:30 | 16°C |
Recommendation: For efficient heating, avoid dropping temperatures below 14°C overnight and maintain at least 16°C during the day.
Altering the Schedule:
- Press the PRG button for 3 seconds to enter the 7x1 day program setting. The first period of the first day is selected.
- Use the Up/Down buttons to change the time for the first period.
- Press PRG again to adjust the temperature for the first period using the Up/Down buttons.
- Repeat this process for all periods of the day and then for subsequent days.
- Press Return to exit the programming mode.
Manual temperature overrides are possible by using the Up/Down buttons. The setting will remain until the next scheduled change.
Parameter Settings
Advanced settings allow customization:
- 01 Temp. calibration: Adjust temperature by +/- 8°C to compensate for sensor placement or other room controls.
- 02 Open Window: 0:Off, 1:On (Default: 1). Detects rapid temperature drops (≥2°C in 15 min) and turns off heating for one hour, displaying "OP".
- 03 Adaptive start: 0:Off, 1:On (Default: On). Starts heating earlier if the difference between current and next setpoint is >5°C to smooth consumption.
- 04/05 Software info: Displays software version information.
