When you first set up your Homely app, you’re already equipped with smart, pre-set schedules designed to keep your home comfortable and your hot water ready — no extra setup required. These defaults work well for most households, but you can easily adjust them if you’d like something more tailored to your lifestyle.
Hot Water Schedule (DHW)
Your default hot water schedule:
-
07:00 – 08:00
-
18:00 – 20:00
-
Active every day
During these times, your system will heat the tank so that hot water is ready to use. It will stay available until the tank runs out, so you can enjoy it throughout the day.
