﻿#Automatic heating/cooling

The parameters of the heating/cooling function are available on this parameter page.

Automatic heating/cooling can supplement the extended sun protection so that the sun shading of a room is available to an additional application. When automatic heating / cooling is active, a presence signal - e.g. from a KNX/EIB presence detector or monitor - is evaluated in addition to the signals of the extended sun protection function.
The automatic sun protection function will then only be activated by the actuator when people are in the room. The room is then shaded or not shaded according to the sunshine signal - as described in previous chapters.

If no presence is signalled to the actuator, it additionally evaluates a heating/cooling signal derived, for instance, from a room temperature controller or from an outside thermostat. In this case, the shading function can be used to support the heating or cooling function in a room.  As no persons are present in the room, intensive sunlight can be used, for instance, to heat up the room by opening the slats or by raising the curtain. Similarly, the room can also be shaded against sunlight during the absence of persons, if additional heating up of the room is not desired.
