Mit dem EcoTimer übermitteln Sie ein individuelles Zeitprogramm auf die Bediengeräte FKS, WKS und WFS. Die App stellt eine Bluetooth-Verbindung mit dem Regelgerät her. Wurde das Raumbediengerät von der App erkannt ist es möglich, das Bediengerät umzubenennen sowie wöchentlich wiederkehrende, tagesindividuelle Zeitprogramme zu erstellen und diese auf die Raumbediengeräte zu übertragen. Die App ermöglicht die zeitabhängige Steuerung der Betriebszustände „Aus“, „Eco“ und „Komfort“. Die Komfort-Temperatur wird über die Einstellung des Drehrades am Raumbediengerät eingestellt. In der Eco-Funktion wird diese Temperatur um einen, über die App, frei wählbaren Wert abgesenkt. Im Modus „Aus“ ist ausschließlich der Frostschutz aktiv, der dafür sorgt, dass eine Raumtemperatur von 7°C nicht unterschritten wird. Weiterhin können die bereits geschriebenen Zeitprogramme vom Raumbediengerät ausgelesen und angepasst werden.

Tempo is a chess clock that stays out of the way. Put your iPhone or iPad next to the board - and play. • Two big halves, one per player. After your move, tap anywhere on your half. • White is light, Black is dark. The top half faces the player across the table. • Precise to the millisecond. In the final ten seconds the clock shows tenths. • Every common time control: bullet to classical, increment, delay, custom times. • Before the game: enter names, swap or draw colors, flip sides. • Afterwards: rematch in one tap, stats for every move, a history of your games. No ads, no account, no tracking. Tempo collects no data and works offline.
