Seasonal Comfort Mode

If you have a shutter control devices installed at your home, Seasonal Comfort Mode feature will be available.

Seasonal Comfort Mode is a smart feature helps maintain the perfect temperature throughout the year by automatically adjusting your shutters or blinds.

Features:

  • Keep your home comfortable in a cost-effective way.
  • In the winter, let natural sunlight warm your home during the day.
  • In the summer, block excess sunlight to prevent overheating.

  • Save up to 5% on energy bills when used year-round, based on a home with both heating and cooling systems.

How It Works:

  • Summer: The system will close your shutters based on temperature and light levels to reduce heat and keep your home cooler.
  • Winter: Shutters will open at sunrise to let in natural warmth and close at sunset to help maintain indoor temperature.
  • Mid-Seasons: The mode adapts to changing outdoor temperatures, ensuring your home stays comfortable.
    • If the highest temperature of a day reaches 22° C or above, the seasonal comfort mode operates the shutters the same as in summers.

    • If the highest temperature of a day is below 22° C, the seasonal comfort mode operates the shutters the same as in winters.

The Seasonal Comfort Mode adapts its operation based on the devices available in your system, offering three levels of algorithm efficiency. Each level improves the comfort and energy savings by integrating additional data sources:
  • Basic level - Control based on time & geographical location:

    At this level, it uses your home’s geographical location and the time of day to manage shutters automatically based on the estimated sunrise and sunset times. This maintains the optimum light and temperature at home. This level is ideal for users who want a simple, automated solution without additional sensors.

  • Enhanced Level - Temperature - Driven Optimization:

    At this level, it uses the local indoor and outdoor temperature in addition to the time and your home’s geographical location. It manages the shutters dynamically based on the real-time temperature conditions to improve comfort.

  • Advanced Level - Best-in-class optimization with light sensors/outdoor motion sensors:

    At this level, it further improves the shutter management by using the real-time light intensity measured by the outdoor motion sensors and the indoor and outdoor temperature.

    NOTE: Make sure that the outdoor motion sensor is facing towards the floor and not facing the sun.

    It offers maximum efficiency by adapting shutter movements based on actual temperature and natural light, rather than relying only on the estimated sunrise/sunset times.

TIP: Choosing the right level for shutter operation:

The Seasonal Comfort Mode adapts to the devices installed in your system. Even if you don’t have all the required sensors, you can still benefit from the feature at a basic level. This flexible approach ensures that you can experience optimized comfort and energy efficiency, regardless of your system setup.

However, for the best results, we recommend using the full set of compatible devices.


NOTE: The seasonal comfort mode performs accurately when the indoor and outdoor temperature sensors (Temeperature/Humidity Sensor) and outdoor motion sensors are installed at home.
IMPORTANT: The IP rating of the sensors used for the seasonal comfort mode are as follows:

Sensors

IP rating

Outdoor Motion Sensor

IP66 - Sensor is protected against dust and water ingress.

Temeperature/Humidity Sensor

IP20 - Sensor is protected against solid objects of size more than 12 mm.


Therefore, they should be installed at a suitable location at home.

Find the details of setting-up the Seasonal Comfort Mode in the Device User Guide of the respective shutter control device. Refer to List of Wiser Devices for the links to Device user guide for each devices.
