Introduction
This guide describes how to control your heating using the Calculus portal.
To control the heating we use a scheduler. This is a calendar in which you can enter commands to the gateway. The gateway then passes on commands to the heater at a time specified by you.
Smart energy management allows you to optimize your energy consumption during and after working hours and reduce energy costs.

Where can I find the planner?
The scheduler is located in the navigation menu, under Advanced.

Setting a task
In the Planner, double-click on the date and time that you want the heater to be turned on/off.
The following screen will appear, where you can set a task.
You can use the "Repeat" field to set the task to run multiple times, such as daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or never. In the manual Calculus Planner You can find a more detailed explanation of its function.
You can also choose a color with which the task is displayed in the scheduler. Click the drop icon to choose a color.

Turning off the heating
To turn off the heating we create the following 2 tasks:
- We issue a command to the gateway to stop passing signals from the thermostat to the heater.
- We give a command to the heater to turn off.
You create a task by selecting the "Perform Action" option in the "Schedule Type" box.
Select the asset type of the room in which the heater is located.
In the "Action Definition" field, define the type of action to be performed.
We select the Mirror_to_output action.
Mirror_to_output determines if the gateway passes a heating request from the sensor to the heater.
When the value is 0, no requests are passed
When the value is 1, requests are passed on.
Set "Value" to 0.
Then click on the green check mark in the lower right corner.
Click the Add button, next to "TASKS," to create a second action.
Repeat the same steps on this second task for the Action Definition "state."
State determines whether the heater is on or off.
At the value 0, the heater turns off.
At the value 1, the heater turns on.
10. Set Value to 0.
Then press the Save button in the lower right corner.
An example of what an action in the scheduler looks like:
The relationship between the thermostat, gateway and heater now looks like this:

Turning on the heating
In the scheduler, double-click on the desired time. Only 1 action must be performed to turn the heater back on:
We create a task where the the Value field of the Action Definition "Mirror_to_output" is changed to 1.
After performing this action, the gateway passes back requests to the heater and it turns back on (so state also goes back to 1).
