Even if the Amy sun protect io automatism has been developed to avoid unwanted activations, it is better to deactivate Amy sun protect io automatism in winter period or whenever you don’t need it.
To deactivate Amy sun protect io, it is simple: You just have to slide the toggle to the left.
Night cooling:
Amy sun protect io installed in a house equipped with air-conditioning:
E.g.: Program Amy sun protect io temperature at 25°C and your air-conditioning temperature above 25°C like 26°C.
Either the sun protection lower too early, I can handle more “heat” or too late, I need the sun protection to lower earlier. Amy sun protect io temperature threshold can be adjusted.
There are 5 sensitivity levels. By default, the Amy sun protect io is set on sensitivity level 3. You can reduce it to get the sun protection lower earlier for a cooler temperature or increase it to get the sun protection lower later as you can handle more “heat”. The procedure to modify the sensitivity threshold is as follow:
Long press 7s on T°/MODE button until orange LED feedback (green+red) to activate setting mode
Then move to front panel and short press on UP or DOWN button to adjust the setting to the new wished treshold
There are 5 different sensitivity levels that you can select using the UP and DOWN buttons based on the desired maximum target temperature that you do not want to exceed in your room. The number of flashes of the green indicator light indicates the selected level.
Note: Current selected level can be checked by pressing simultaneously on UP and DOWN shortly when setting mode is ON.
Long press 7s on T°/MODE button until orange LED feedback (green+red) to go out of setting mode (or wait timeout of 10s)
Amy sun protect io measures the indoor temperature every 15 minutes. The onboard intelligence analyses the temperature evolution within the room. If the temperature increase analysis predicts future thermal discomfort, Amy sun protect io will automatically send a down order to the motorised sun protection.
The closure position will depend on the sun protection type:
to keep visual comfort with natural light coming in the room.
Note: If the sun protection is closed, Amy sun protect io will never open the sun protection for safety reason.
To reach the best performances of the sensor (accuracy and repeatability), favor wall mounting. Temperature measurement will be more consistent with temperature felt. To ensure a good temperature measurement, please follow the positioning recommendations:
