How do I temporarily disable Homely and control my Riello heat pump?

If you're having a technical issue with Homely, we'd recommend trying the Homely Troubleshooting Articles first that can be found here

If you're unable to solve your issue with the articles, try contacting a member of the Support Team here.

If you have an urgent issue and aren't able to contact a member of the team; please follow these steps to take revert control back to your heat pump. 


The following article is a guide to reverting control back to your Riello heat pump.

Disabling Homely

Please make your way to your Homely Hub which should be situated close to your indoor unit and hot water cylinder. Please unplug the power cable from the Homely Hub. Keep the power cable unplugged until you are able to return control back to Homely.

Controlling your heat pump with it's own controls

This will mean that you'll be able to use the onboard Riello controller to turn your heating and hot water on/off whilst we get your Homely back up and running.

Please make your way to your heat pump controller which should look like the image below.
