Features, Safety, and the "Auto Timer"

The Auto Timer (2-Hour Safety Shutoff) Due to US regulations regarding heaters controlled from outside the home, all Infratech Bond controllers feature a hard-coded Auto Timer.

  • Function: The heater will automatically turn OFF after 2 hours of operation.

  • Resetting the Timer: Any interaction with the device resets the 2-hour countdown.

    • Example: If the heater has been on for 1 hour, and you change the dimming level from 50% to 75%, the timer resets back to a full 2 hours.

    • This applies to physical button presses, App commands, Schedules, or Voice commands (Alexa/Google).

  • User Note: There is no audible "beep" on the device before it turns off, though the App displays a countdown.

Integration & Smart Features

  • Schedules: Supported on both models.

    • Dimmer: Can schedule On, Off, and Set Heat Level.

    • Switch: Can schedule On and Off only.

  • Groups:

    • Dimmer-only Groups: Full control (On, Off, Set %, Increase/Decrease).

    • Mixed Groups: Limited to common actions (On/Off, Toggle).

  • Voice Assistants:

    • Users can say "Alexa, set heater to 30%" (Dimmer only) or use "Low/Medium/High."

    • Switch models are limited to "Turn On/Turn Off."

Unsupported Features

  • Scenes: Not currently supported.

  • Multi-Way Control: Not supported for safety reasons. You cannot link two switches to control the same heater.
