Introduction
This Room Sensor is a part of the OWL Intuition range of cloud connected monitoring and
control products. Its operation is dependant upon being paired to the broadband Internet
connected Network OWL (supplied separately). The Room Sensor provides both room ther-
mostat and programmer / time clock functionality. If wiring does not already exist between
the chosen Room Sensor location and the heating system then you will also require an
OWL Intuition Relay Unit [RMx-6C] (not included) to provide a wireless connection to the
heating system.
Basic day-to-day user operation changes can be made using the three buttons. Addition-
ally there is comprehensive yet intuitive and easy to use control via the OWL Intuition
web dashboard. Accessible from any Internet connected computer anywhere in the World.
iPhone and Android smartphone apps are also available for free download.
It is recommended that this product is installed by
a suitably qualied heating engineer, plumber or
electrician.
Please read the Safety Information section of this
document before proceeding.
