1.1 Notes on this manual
Read these instructions carefully before commissioning the H1 heating control. Keep the instructions for future
reference. The online version can be found at www.ubisys.de.
Images of the ubisys app
The illustrations in this manual correspond to the screens of the Apple iOS app (iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13.7).
Depending on which app you are using, slight deviations with regard to display or operation are possible. This
applies to different iOS versions on an Apple iPad or devices with Google Android operating system.
1.2 Function and design of the H1
The H1 heating control is a smart, battery-powered radiator thermostat with integrated temperature sensor for
radiator heating systems and is used for efficient room temperature control in private and commercial facilities.
The H1 communicates wirelessly using the international radio standard Zigbee. Temperature control is perfor-
med manually on the device or via app (e.g. ubisys Smart Home App).
For operation via the ubisys Smart Home App, you need the ubisys Gateway G1. When using a Zigbee-capable
gateway from another manufacturer, a corresponding app must be used. The power supply is provided by two
lithium batteries (type AA with 1.5 V, Energizer L91, Ultimate Lithium – or comparable).
Note: If you want to control the H1 via the app of another manufacturer, you need a corresponding Zigbee-
capable gateway of this manufacturer. Deviations may then occur with regard to setup and functionality.
Zigbee wireless technology
The H1 communicates by means of the international radio standard Zigbee. To ensure a smooth communication
between the H1 and the gateway, the devices must be in direct radio range. Zigbee components join together
to form a mesh-like radio network. Components that are not within direct radio range of each other can access
other components as intermediate stations (routers) to transmit their data packets to the addressee. All compo-
nents that are permanently connected to the mains have router functionality permanently integrated.
If the direct radio link between gateway and H1 is not available in your facility (e.g. due to interfering factors
such as walls, doors, etc.), you may have to integrate additional Zigbee components that are permanently
connected to the mains into your system. Suitable for this purpose are e.g.: ubisys Router R0 or Develco Smart
Plug Mini. These and further devices with router function are available on www.smarthome-store.de. For more
information about Zigbee, please visit our website www.ubisys.de.

Chapter 2 | Commissioning
2.1 Mounting
1. Unmount your currently installed radiator thermostat.
2. To do this, turn the mounting ring (A) counterclockwise until the
thermostat head comes off the valve (you may need pliers for this).
Note: Don‘t worry, water can‘t leak out in the process.
3. Turn the mounting ring (A) of the H1 onto the radiator valve until it
is properly tightened. Do not use a tool for this.
Note: The H1 is suitable for all commercially available valves with
an M30 x 1.5 connection*).
*) If the H1 does not fit, you will find a list of radiator valve adapters at www.ubisys.de.
Note: To unmount the H1, please use the „Unmount“ function (Chapter 5.6).
2.2 Initial commissioning (with and without gateway)
Note: If you wish to use the H1 heating controller as stand-alone solution, you only need to follow steps 4-11.
To be able to use the full range of functions and also control the device via app, you need a Zigbee-
capable gateway, such as the ubisys G1.
This is followed by the commissioning in combination with the ubisys G1 and the ubisys Smart Home App. Be-
fore you start this, you should have commissioned the ubisys G1. If you want to operate the H1 using a gateway
and accompanying app of another manufacturer, please follow the corresponding instructions of that manufac-
turer.

10Heating Control H1
Chapter 2 | Commissioning
Initial commissioning in combination with the ubisys G1 and the ubisys Smart Home App:
1. Open the ubisys Smart Home App.
2. Tap on Configuration -> Basic Configuration -> Open for new
devices.
3. The Zigbee network is now open for about 4 minutes and your H1
heating controller can join the network.

6. After the initializing process, the symbol for „Calibration“ appears
in the display.
7. The calibration of the H1 starts. The movements of the H1 valve pin
are now adjusted to the radiator valve and a status bar appears.

2021.09.3000:00
If the process fails even after several calibration attempts, there may
be a problem with your heating valve:
• Your heating valve is stuck so that the H1 cannot move it in
• Your heating valve is too long or too short so that the H1 cannot
start the calibration process
0°C
2021.09.3000:00
9. Following the calibration, the device performs the network startup
and tries to connect to an open Zigbee network. This process can
take up to approx. 7 seconds.
Note: Please make sure that the Zigbee network has been opened
via the app (see point 2).
0°C
2021.09.3000:00
10. After joining a network successfully, the display will show the cur-
rent target room temperature (center) and the actual room tempe-
rature (bottom right).
11. You can now set your desired room temperature using the rotary
dial.
Note: Also displayed, is the quality of the Zigbee wireless connec-
tion (top left), the battery status (top right) and the current actual
temperature (bottom right).

12. At the same time, the app automatically jumps back to the start
screen as soon as the H1 is in the Zigbee network. The device is
recognized as a new component and displayed accordingly: 1.

The H1 is now in a kind of „sleep mode“ - but is still accessible
via the gateway. You may now still change the set temperature
in the app, but the device and thus the heating will not respond.
Only when you switch on the H1 again, the desired temperature
will be set.

19Heating Control H1
Chapter 3 | Set Room Temperature
3.3 Set temperature offset
Depending on the room conditions, the H1 may measure (and display as actual temperature) a temperature that
differs from the real condition in the room:
Furniture or curtains in front of the radiator accumulate the heated air. Then the valve closes too early and the
room remains cold. Conversely, the H1 may be permanently exposed to drafts, for example. The consequence:
The valve remains open although the desired temperature has already been reached - it becomes too warm in
the room.
To compensate for such temperature differences, the H1 offers a correction option of up to +10°C or -10°C.
For example: If it is 3°C warmer in the room than it is displayed on the H1 or in the ubisys app, +3°C must be
entered in the corresponding menu on the H1. If it is 3°C colder in the room, -3°C must be entered.
To enter a temperature offset at the H1, proceed as follows:
