Favourites & scheduling summary​

A favourite is a shortcut that allows the user to press a single button to simultaneously change zone status, set points, mode, and fan speed.

Once a favourite has been created, it can then be scheduled to start and stop at specific times during a 7-day week.

To configure a schedule, first create a favourite with the mode, fan speed, and zone settings you want to run when the schedule is active. Once the favourite has been created and tested, it can then be scheduled to start and/or stop at the required time.

Note: if schedules overlap, the following occurs — in the example below, Schedule A starts at 08:00 and stops early at 08:45 because it is overridden by Schedule B. Schedule B starts at 08:45 and stops early at 09:15 because it is overridden by Schedule C. Schedule C starts and stops at its scheduled times of 09:15–10:40.

Air quality summary​

Air quality is measured using the following metrics:

  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
  • Relative Humidity (RH %)
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC ppb)
  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ppm)

Indoor air quality​

For humans, indoor RH below 35% feels uncomfortably dry, and above 65% feels uncomfortably humid. The ideal range is between 50% and 60%.

For ease of understanding, iZone summarises overall IAQ from the worst reading of the VOC and CO2 sensors. The categories and levels are as follows:

VOC

RatingppbDescription
Great0–60VOC levels are normal
Good61–200VOC levels are moderate. Opening windows/doors or running ventilation fans to increase outdoor air exchange will help reduce VOC levels
Fair201–2030VOC levels are elevated. Opening windows/doors or running ventilation fans to increase outdoor air exchange will help reduce VOC levels
Poorabove 2030VOC levels are high. Key sources include cigarette smoke, vehicle emissions, building renovations, solvents, household cleaning products, and pesticides. It's strongly recommended to open windows/doors or run ventilation fans to increase outdoor air exchange

CO2

RatingppmDescription
Great200–600CO2 levels are low and healthy
Good601–900CO2 levels are acceptable
Fair901–1400CO2 levels are high and may cause drowsiness. Opening windows/doors or running ventilation fans to increase outdoor air exchange will help reduce CO2 levels
Poorabove 1400CO2 levels are excessive; extended exposure may cause health issues. Opening windows/doors or running ventilation fans to increase outdoor air exchange will help reduce CO2 levels

Outdoor air quality​

Each Australian state and territory is responsible for monitoring air quality and publishing data in line with national NEPM standards. Most states and territories publish air quality indexes for individual monitoring locations, using a consistent linear scale where 100 represents the maximum concentration standard for each pollutant, as set by the NEPM.

Maximum concentration standards

PollutantAveraging periodMaximum concentration standard
Carbon monoxide8 hours9 ppm
Nitrogen dioxide1 hour0.12 ppm
Ozone1 hour / 4 hours0.10 ppm / 0.08 ppm
Sulphur dioxide1 hour / 1 day / 1 year0.20 ppm / 0.08 ppm / 0.02 ppm
Lead1 year0.50 μg/m³
PM 101 day / 1 year50 μg/m³ / 25 μg/m³
PM 2.51 day / 1 year25 μg/m³ / 8 μg/m³

The air quality index (AQI) for a location is the highest of the index values for each pollutant being monitored there.

AQI bands

AQIDescriptionHealth advice
0–33Very GoodEnjoy activities
34–66GoodEnjoy activities
67–99FairPeople unusually sensitive to air pollution should plan strenuous outdoor activities for when air quality is better
100–149PoorSensitive groups should cut back or reschedule strenuous outdoor activities
150–200Very PoorSensitive groups should avoid strenuous outdoor activities; everyone should cut back or reschedule strenuous outdoor activities
200+HazardousSensitive groups should avoid all outdoor physical activity; everyone should significantly cut back on outdoor physical activity
