Program modes of your Danfoss Icon thermostat

The Danfoss IconTM thermostat supports different program modes for the heating system: home, away, vacation or automatic.

Niko Home Control uses the same program modes:

  • Home: a fixed set point temperature (as defined in the Niko Home app) is used. Defined schedules are overruled.

  • Away: a fixed set point temperature (as defined in the Niko Home app) is used. Defined schedules and the Danfoss cooling settings are overruled.

  • Vacation: the set point temperature is set at 16°. The Danfoss cooling functions are overruled.

  • Schedule (automatic): the thermostat changes the set point temperature according to the weekly program as defined in the Niko Home app.
