SALUS Smart Home: A Clear Guide to Product Compatibility

SALUS Smart Home: A Clear Guide to Product Compatibility

The SALUS Smart Home ecosystem offers a wide range of devices designed to create a comfortable, efficient, and connected living space. However, to ensure a seamless and well-functioning system, it's crucial to understand the compatibility between different products. This article provides a clear breakdown of these compatibilities, helping you design the optimal smart home setup for your needs.

Understanding the Two Key Modes: Online vs. Offline

Before diving into product specifics, it's essential to understand the two operating modes of the SALUS Smart Home system:

  • Online Mode (Powered by UGE600): This mode unlocks the full potential of your SALUS system. The UGE600 Universal Gateway acts as the central hub, connecting all your devices to the internet. This enables remote control via the SALUS Smart Home app, advanced automation features, voice control integration, and energy monitoring.

  • Offline Mode (Basic Functionality): In offline mode, devices communicate directly with each other or with a basic controller like the C010RF. While this provides basic functionality within your home, you will lose access to the smart features like remote control, automation, and integration with other smart home platforms.

This guide primarily focuses on systems with UGE600 connectivity. If not connected you can only make a direct setup as the setup will not be controlled.

Key to Understanding the Compatibility Chart

To clearly illustrate product compatibilities and limitations, please consult the chart below where you will see:

  • Main Device: This column lists the primary device or controller you're building your system around (e.g., a specific thermostat model, the KL08RF wiring center).
  • Can Be Associated With: This column details other SALUS devices that can be linked to the Main Device.
  • In OFFLINE Mode (Using C010RF or UGE600): Indicates whether the devices can be linked without an active internet connection and UGE600 gateway.
  • In ONLINE Mode (Using UGE600): Indicates whether the devices can be linked with an active internet connection and UGE600 gateway.
  • Remarks: Provides detailed information about the specific functionalities, limitations, and considerations for each combination.

Main device

Can be associated with

In OFFLINE mode (using C010RF or UGE600)

In ONLINE mode (using UGE600)

Remarks

SQ610


TRV10RFM



YES

YES

A thermostat can have a maximum of 6 TRVs, which will act simultaneously (eg a room with several radiators). When paired with the TRV10RFM, engaging the thermostat also engages the RX10RF receiver (if present).

SQ610RF


KL08RF


YES

YES

The SQ610 or SQ610RF thermostat allows association with multiple zones on the control center. The VS20WRF or VS10WRF thermostat allows association with a single zone. Engaging a thermostat causes the pump relay, the boiler relay and the RX10RF receiver (if present) to engage after a 3 minute delay (necessary to ensure the actuators open).

VS10WRF


RX10RF


YES

YES

In the standard configuration, turning on any of the compatible thermostats will turn on the receiver. A 3 minute delay applies to thermostats associated with the KL08RF. When configured as RX2 (internal switch), the receiver can be subordinated to a single thermostat (set according to a special procedure). There can be at most two RX10RF receivers in a system, one configured as RX1 and the second configured as RX2.

VS20WRF



SPE600



NO

YES

A thermostat can be associated with one or more smart plugs, using the "socket" symbol found in the application, in the thermostat’s menu. Thus, switching on the thermostat causes the switching on of the smart plug (or smart plugs).

TS600



SW600

NO

YES

A thermostat can be associated with one or more sensors, using the "window" symbol found in the application, in the thermostat menu. When a window is opened, the thermostat automatically switches to off mode.

-

SPE600



NO

YES

Through OneTouch rules, one or more thermostats can cause the smart plug to turn on or off, depending on the temperature value or the state of the thermostat (heat demand active or not).

FC600



SR600


NO

YES

Through OneTouch rules, one or more thermostats can cause a smart relay to switch on or off, depending on the temperature value or the state of the thermostat (heat demand active or not).

SW600


NO

YES

A thermostat can be associated with one or more sensors, using the "window" symbol found in the application, in the thermostat menu. When a window is opened, the thermostat automatically switches to off mode.


RX10RF




NO

NO

The FC600 fan coil thermostat cannot be associated with the RX10RF central receiver.


KL08RF / KL04RF





-

YES

YES

The KL04RF connects directly to the KL08RF using a cable (included) and allows the management of 4 additional zones (12 zones in total).

RE600 / RE10RF



any product

YES

YES

The RE600 / RE10RF is added to the system and will automatically amplify the signal for any system components within its range.

-

SQ610RF



YES

YES

The SQ610RF thermostat can only support the FS300 sensor when paired with the KL08RF. Alternatively, the FS300 can be used as an ambient sensor (it takes the role of the internal sensor). The thermostat can display both the ambient temperature and the floor temperature.

-

SQ610



YES

YES

The SQ610 thermostat can accept the FS300 sensor when paired with the KL08RF or when configured as a wired thermostat. Alternatively, the FS300 can be used as an ambient sensor (it takes the role of the internal sensor). The thermostat can display both the ambient temperature and the floor temperature.

-

VS20WRF / VS10WRF



YES

YES

The VS20WRF/VS10WRF thermostat can only support the FS300 sensor when paired with the KL08RF. Alternatively, the FS300 can be used as an ambient sensor (it takes the role of the internal sensor). The thermostat will only display the ambient temperature.

-

TS600



YES

YES

The TS600 thermostat can only support the FS300 sensor when paired with the KL08RF. Alternatively, the FS300 can be used as an ambient sensor (it takes the role of the internal sensor). The thermostat will only display the ambient temperature (in the app).

-

FC600



YES

YES

The FS300 sensor can be used together with the FC600 as an ambient temperature sensor (the FS300 takes the role of the internal sensor) or as a sensor placed in the fan coil unit battery (in "2-pipe" mode it can determine the transition between CALD/COOL modes).

-

SW600 / WLS600 / SD600 / MS600 / PS600









NO

YES

When the sensor detects opening, a water leak, smoke, movement or temperatures changes, alerts can be sent via email/SMS or changes can be made to other components in the system (e.g. changed the set temperature of a thermostat, connected or disconnected a smart relay, etc.) depending on the scenario and based on which an email/SMS alert is sent or the status of other active equipment in the system is changed



Key Considerations:

  • Underfloor Heating Systems: For precise underfloor heating control, the KL08RF wiring center is essential. The FS300 floor sensor provides valuable temperature feedback, and the SQ610/SQ610RF thermostats offer versatile control options.

  • Radiator Valve Control: You can have a separate control for rooms with a rediator. Also the SQ610/SQ610RF, VS10WRF/VS20WRF and TS600 thermostats make it easier

  • Environmental Sensors for Automation: The SW600 (window sensor), WLS600 (water leak sensor), SD600 (smoke detector), PS600 (heat sensor) and MS600 (motion sensor) work on their own to make alerts

By carefully reviewing this compatibility guide, you can confidently select the right SALUS Smart Home devices to create a system that meets your specific needs and enhances your comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency. Be sure to always consult the official SALUS documentation for the most up-to-date information and guidance.
