Boost

What boost does

The boost dialog open, letting the user set a target temperature before boosting.

Boost heats your water immediately, outside the normal schedule. The boost controls offer two ways to run one:

  • Boost to target. Heats until the water reaches the temperature you pick, then stops.
  • Boost for a set time. Runs for a duration you choose: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom length up to 4 hours.

While a boost runs, the dashboard shows progress and time remaining. You can cancel at any point. If your tariff is set up, the boost controls show an estimated cost before you start.

Cancelling a boost

Open the boost controls and choose Cancel Boost. Your device returns to whatever your goal or schedule would normally be doing.

Boosts during grid events

If a grid event you have signed up for is active, your boost may be paused or overridden to support the network. The boost controls show this before you start.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not start a boost?

The boost button is unavailable when your device is offline or while away is on. Turn away off first, or wait for the device to reconnect.

Does a boost cost more than scheduled heating?

A boost uses the same energy, but can run at a more expensive time of day than your goal would have chosen. The cost estimate in the boost controls shows the likely cost before you start.
