Ideal Halo Heat & System Wi-Fi

System Overview

The Halo system comprises several key components that work together wirelessly:

• Halo PRT: The main user interface, typically wall-mounted or desk-mounted, which displays temperature and allows for manual control.
• Smart Interface: Connects to the boiler via OpenTherm and communicates wirelessly with the PRT and Smart Wiring Centre. It also links to your home Wi-Fi network for app control.
• Smart Wiring Centre: Manages central heating components such as zone valves and cylinder thermostats, communicating wirelessly with the Smart Interface.

Communication between components primarily uses Zigbee (a local RF protocol) and Wi-Fi for remote access via the Halo app.

Installation & Location

Proper placement of the Halo PRT and Smart Interface is crucial for optimal wireless signal strength. Key guidelines include:

• Mount the Halo PRT at a height of 1.2-1.5m above the floor, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or drafts.
• Ensure the Smart Interface and Wi-Fi router are within a 30-meter range, avoiding solid or metallic objects that can impede signal strength.
• The system must be installed by a competent person with appropriate safety qualifications.

Commissioning & Troubleshooting

This guide includes comprehensive checklists for commissioning the system to ensure all components are correctly paired and functioning. A dedicated troubleshooting section addresses common issues, such as pairing failures, connectivity problems, and boiler operation, providing step-by-step solutions.
