Update for Siemens Connected Home Smart Heating

Siemens Connected Home Smart Heating is a sustainable method of zonal heating control, which allows heating control via the internet and reduces operating costs by up to 30%. The entire automation system is intuitive, easy to install, combine, and use, making homes and commercial spaces smarter, greener, and more comfortable. To ensure Connected Home meets the demands of a changing environment and provides its users with the highest comfort, quality, and security, it must continuously evolve. This process entails the need for updates, which can be easily managed in a few minutes from the comfort of your home thanks to a clear guide. The system update also now allows for the setting of valve positions from which the boiler should turn on or off (the setting range is 5 to 50%) to prevent heat supply to nearly closed valves.

Connected Home App Update

The first step you need to take to update the Siemens Connected Home smart heating system is to update the Connected Home app. In the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android), click to update the app to version 2.0.3 and everything else will proceed automatically.

ZigBee Router Update

To update the firmware of the ZigBee router GTW100ZB, open the Connected Home app and go to Home settings (Home settings). Through Manage hub, navigate to Device details (Device details). Under the firmware version item, the number of the currently used firmware version is listed, and on the right, an update to the latest version is available (“can be updated”): click on the offered update and confirm it. The process may take up to 15 minutes, and once completed, the ZigBee router will use the latest firmware version (currently 2.0.7).

Switching Unit Update

Updating the firmware of the wireless relay switching unit RCR110.2ZB is somewhat more complex, but you can still handle it with ease. It takes place in two steps: updating the firmware via the Connected Home app and then re-pairing the switching unit with the app. For a faster process, we recommend placing the ZigBee router as close as possible to the switching unit.

First, in the app, open Settings (Settings) of the switching unit and go to Device details (Device details). To the right of the firmware version information, the option to update (“click to update”) will appear, which you just need to click on to update the firmware. This process takes 5 to 30 minutes depending on the distance between the ZigBee router and the switching unit. The number of the latest firmware version will again appear under the firmware version item (the current latest version is 02007).

After updating the firmware in the Connected Home app, you need to delete the updated switching unit from the app and perform a manual reset of the switching unit to factory settings: press the button on the switching unit and hold it for 10 seconds until the LED indicator starts flashing alternately red and green to confirm the device's return to factory settings. Then again pair the switching unit with the ZigBee router.
