Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Worcester Wave – smart control for heating and hot water The Wave is a smart, internet-connected programmable control for central heating and hot water which can be operated using this app. After installation this app can also be used in demonstration mode, without access to the internet, a Wave controller or a Worcester Greenstar boiler, to showcase the extensive features and simplicity of use. Simple to use The Wave’s intuitive and modern design ensures it is very simple to operate using either its in-built touchscreen or the app. • Supplied with a pre-set programme that can then be easily modified to suit your requirements. • The Wave features a ‘holiday programme’, requiring just a start and finish date. • An installation and operating manual is provided with each control and there are links to number of helpful videos within this app that provide further details on specific functions. Simply smarter The Wave’s innovative programming enables it to have an ‘intelligent conversation’ with the boiler enabling energy efficiency features including: • Load and weather compensation which allows the boiler to adapt its operation, to achieve optimum efficiency, whist still maintaining the level of heating comfort required. This can help reduce fuel bills. • Unlike most other smart heating controls, the Wave can also programme the hot water settings, providing additional energy savings and comfort. • Charts of heating and hot water usage so the homeowner can easily identify where potential savings could be made. Want a Worcester Wave connected to control your heating? To take smarter control of your heating, first check if your Worcester, Bosch Group Greenstar boiler is compatible with the Wave by visiting worcester-bosch.co.uk/wave To purchase a Wave contact a heating engineer, and a list of Worcester accredited heating engineers can be found at worcester-bosch.co.uk/findaninstaller or using the Worcester, Bosch Group app. The heating engineer can install the Wave. It only requires a 2-core wire connection between the control and the boiler; all other connections are via the Wi-Fi network.

Worcester Wave APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Worcester Wave APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 593a7d967c9e9027288c73f0bb8ee7f0.
