Frequently Asked Questions

How to Use the New Bromic Heating App?

Bromic is excited to announce the new Affinity Collection of controls to their product line-up! Now, with the new Affinity Collection, you can easily control and monitor your heaters through Bromic’s dedicated app. This app brings you the power to manage your outdoor heating with the touch of a button, right from your smartphone. From basic On/Off and Dimming functionality, to state-of-the-art features, this guide will take you through everything you need to know to make the most of this technology, transforming your outdoor space into a cozy retreat.

Why Use the Bromic Heating App?

The Bromic Heating App isn’t just another gadget; it’s a gateway to enhancing your outdoor living experience. Imagine enjoying a perfectly heated patio during a cool evening without having to get up or fuss with complicated controls. With this app, you have the ability to:

  • Easily adjust the output of your heaters to match the changing weather or your personal comfort preferences.
  • Set a timer for maximum efficiency to ensure your heaters are only on when in use and not left on when not in use.
  • Group heaters by zone to control multiple units within differing locations (“zones’) simultaneously, perfect for larger outdoor spaces.
  • Set schedules and scenes that automatically turn on or off your heaters based on your lifestyle.

This kind of convenience and efficiency is more than just a luxury—it’s a smart way to ensure that your outdoor spaces are always ready for relaxation or entertainment, no matter the weather.

What You’ll Need to Prepare for Setup

Before you dive into using the app, make sure your Bromic heaters and controllers are installed and configured by a licensed electrical contractor. Once that’s set up, follow these simple steps to get your app up and running: 

  • Locate the Serial Number on your controls box: You can find this on the sticker located on the side paneling of your control box. 
  • Download the Bromic Heating App: Find it on the Apple Store or Google Play and install it on your smartphone or tablet. It is important to note that the Bromic Heating App is only applicable with our Affinity Collection of controls and not with any of Bromic’s Legacy Remote Controllers. 
  • Turn on Bluetooth and Connect to the Internet: Ensure your device has both Bluetooth and an active internet connection. These are crucial for the initial setup and ongoing operation of the app. Initial configuration of the App to your controls box will need to be done within 30ft of the control box, via Bluetooth connection. Once you are set up, you can easily switch your connection to Wi-Fi if desired. 
  • Decide which email address you will be creating an account with: You’ll need access to this email address to create an account and verify setup. This step ensures that your account is secure and ready to use. 

Getting Started with the Bromic Heating App

This is where the magic happens! Once you’ve created an account and verified your email address, you’ll start by naming your site (e.g., “Outdoor Kitchen”, “Deck”, or “Garden Area”) and begin connecting your controllers.

  • Set Up Your Site: Select the controllers from the list that appears on your screen. Only those located within 30ft in discovery mode will be visible. If there are multiple controls on site, you can confirm that you are setting up the correct one by verifying the serial number in the App with the serial number on the controller box match one another.  
  • Configure the Controller: Next, you will want to set up the channels of controllers. It is important to configure each channel of the controller, depending on how many channels your controller box has.  
  • Manage Your Connections: You will be taken to a page to manage your controller’s connection. Your controllers are automatically connected via Bluetooth up until now. For more stable and flexible control, connect your controllers via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
  • Complete Setup or Add Another Controller: Congrats! You have made it to the last step where you can now continue to add additional controller boxes or invite additional users if connected on Wi-Fi. In the case that you are done adding controller boxes, and do not wish to invite additional users, select “No, go to invite users”, then select “Skip and Complete Site Creation” on the next screen, then “Done”. Once you select “Done”, you’ll be redirected to the home screen and your heaters will be ready to control.
  • Invite Additional Users: Whether it be family members or guests who will need access to the heaters. The app makes this easy and secure:
    • Invite Users: As the admin user, you can invite others to use the app. Simply go to the settings, click “Manage Users,” and send an invitation via email. 
    • Control Access: Not everyone needs full control. You can assign different roles to different users, ensuring that only those who need it can make changes to the heating settings. Of the two control access options to choose from, Admin or User, you can assign individuals different roles ensuring that only those who need it can make changes to the heating settings.

This feature is particularly useful if you have frequent guests or if you rent out your home as a vacation property. It allows you to maintain control while offering convenience to others.

By following these steps, you’ll have your Bromic Heating App ready to go in no time, giving you seamless control over your outdoor heating system.

Navigating the Bromic Heating App

Once your setup is complete, navigating the app becomes second nature. The user interface is designed to be intuitive, offering you easy access to all the features that make your outdoor space more enjoyable. 

  • Home Screen: This is your command center. Here, you can see all connected appliances, zones, and scenes. Each heater is listed with a symbol indicating its connection type—Bluetooth, WiFi, or Ethernet—so you know exactly how it’s connected.
  • Appliances: In this section, you can turn on each heater with a simple toggle. If your heater has a dimming feature, you can adjust the heat level using a slider from 0% to 100%. For more detailed settings, like changing the appliance name or setting a timer, just click the arrow next to the heater’s name.
  • Zones: For those with multiple heaters, the Zone feature is a lifesaver. It allows you to group heaters together, so you can manage them all at once—whether you want to turn them all on, set a time, set them to the same heat level, or schedule them to switch off at a certain time.
  • Scenes: This feature is ideal for setting up a routine. Whether it’s turning on the heaters every evening or ensuring they switch off after a party, for residential applications or to turn all heaters off at the end of each service for commercial applications, you can schedule these actions in advance. The scene operation works on a 7-day schedule, giving you full control over your outdoor environment.

Enhancing Your Experience with Zones and Scenes

Let’s dive a bit deeper into Zones and Scenes, two of the app’s most powerful features.

  • Zones: Imagine having a large outdoor space with different sections—perhaps a dining area, a lounging space, and a poolside corner. With Zones, you can control each area separately or together. You might want the dining area warmer during dinner but keep the lounge area cooler until after. Zones make this possible with just a few taps.
  • Scenes: Think of Scenes as your personal heating butler. Hosting a Sunday brunch? Set a scene to warm up the patio just before your guests arrive. Planning a cozy evening with family? Another scene can ensure your heaters are on and set to the perfect temperature by the time you step outside.

These features are not just about control; they’re about creating an atmosphere. With the Bromic Heating App, you’re not just turning heaters on and off; you’re setting the mood, ensuring comfort, and enhancing the overall experience of your outdoor space. 

Troubleshooting & Support

While the Bromic Heating App is designed to be user-friendly, there might be times when you need a little help. Our website includes built-in troubleshooting and a detailed FAQ section that covers common issues. Additionally, customer support is always just a call or click away if you need further assistance. 

With the Affinity Collection and the Bromic Heating App, you’re not just controlling your heaters—you’re elevating your outdoor living experience. By providing easy-to-use controls with personalized zones and customized scenes, the app allows you to enjoy warmth and comfort with minimal effort. Whether you’re hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, the app’s smart features ensure that your space is always perfectly heated. Here’s to creating a cozy and inviting outdoor environment with Affinity!

Can I use the app and BMS capabilities at the same time?

I would like to switch heaters off after a time period?

  • This function is available in different settings. Firstly, when you turn on an appliance, you can also set a timer off interval. You set this each time the heater is turned on and it will then countdown to the interval duration and automatically switch the appliance off. Set this function by clicking the appliance name to go to the detailed screen and setting the timer off internal at the bottom of the screen. 
  • Alternatively, you can set the timer off delay using schedules. This feature is only available to WiFi connected appliances.

Where do I find the serial number of the controller?

  • The serial number is represented as a 14 digit code (eg CONF2C23080005). The digits will be different for each type of controller. The serial number is printed on the product label attached to the controller. It can also be located via the menu on the Bromic Smat-Heat App, under Site configuration-> Edit Site. All the controllers will be listed and within each controller setting you can identify the connected heaters.

How do I setup my controller to work with Google Home or Alexa?

  • All Affinity controllers have the capability of working with Google Home or Alexa. (Unfortunately, we do not support Apple Home at this stage.)
  • Using the Bromic Smart-Heat App, follow the installation instructions and ensure it is configured to work in WiFi (or ethernet, if you have an expansion board fitted). Note voice control will not work with Bluetooth or BMS configured setups.
  • Once you have your heaters operating with the Bromic Smart-Heat App, go to your Google Home or Alexa App and setup a new device under “Bromic Smart-Heat.” Authorize the paring by logging into the Bromic Smart-Heat App and confirming the setup.
  • For more details, refer to the instruction manual and videos available from the Bromic website.

What is a site and how do I configure my heaters?

  • The Bromic Smart-Heat App will guide you through the installation process, step by step to configure each controller. Before you commence the installation, a little planning is required to define how to setup the heaters within the App. Sites are created to group heaters and separate site control. You can have all heaters on one site, accessible to all users or split the heaters into groups allocated to different sites. Sites function to separate user access if this is required by inviting users to each site independently (by the site admin user.)

How many heaters can I control with my App?

  • There is no limitation of the number of heaters configured to a site, or the number of sites a user has access to.

What is an Admin User and how do I invite my friends?

  • The Bromic Smart-Heat App assigns Users to sites and there are 2 types of User roles. Admin Users have complete access and control of the site setup. User roles are restricted to operational control of the appliances. 
  • Both types of users are added to a site by invitation unless it is a new installation, the user that creates the site is automatically assigned as an Admin user. Admin users having complete control of the site setup are responsible for inviting other users. Go to Manage Users under the settings menu to invite new members by entering their name and email address. All members need to download the app, register, and confirm their invitation by email.

I have registered as a user but I cannot access the App?

  • When you create an account using your email address, the registration process requires the user to validate the invitation by confirming the email address. Log into the email account and search for the Bromic Smart-Heat registration invitation email. If this is not located in the inbox, check the spam or junk folder in case the email was caught by Spam filters.
  • If you have not received the email, register again using the same details.
  • Note if you mistyped the email address the invitation will not be sent to the correct email address. Simply register with the correct details.

The App reports the controller is not reachable. Why does this happen?

  • When a controller loses WiFi/Ethernet/Internet connection it will revert to a Bluetooth connection. However if the Bluetooth is out of range or the controller has been powered off, the App will report the controller as unreachable. In the situation this is not the case, the controller is unreachable if it is connected to another Bluetooth User.

When I toggle the button, the setting bounces back to its original state. Why does this happen?

  • The Bromic Smart-Heat system operates on a cloud service. This allows many users to control appliances on an array of sites. As there can be many users connected to the one site, it is possible that heaters are being controlled by other users at the same time. Another reason for the button bounce phenomena is due to connection latency. This is the time delay of the data sent to the server and response back. The cloud server is responsible to synchronize the control settings with all users connected to site. If the server detects the control settings do not match with the last received command, it will issue a restore command to sync the control settings. The button bounce phenomena will occur at times and in almost all cases the correct setting is restored within 1-2 seconds.

Where do I find the App version number?

  • The App version can be found by accessing the AppStore or Google Play.

Is the App available in other languages?

  • Yes. The language set on the App is based on the Smartphone or Tablet region setting. Change the region setting to another language and the App will update. Languages currently available include German, Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch, Japanese.

How do I delete the Controller?

  • Deleting the controller will remove the device from site and restore the configuration to factory default settings. This action can only be performed by Admin Users. Under the Bromic Smart-Heat App menu, go to Site Configuration, Edit Site, select the controller and press the Delete button at the bottom of the screen.

How do I rename my heaters?

  • The heater names can be changed within the App from the appliance screen. Go to the home screen where the heaters are listed under appliances, click the heater name to jump to the detailed screen and press on the pencil icon at the top right of the page to change the name.

Can I re-sort the heaters as they appear on the screen?

  • From the home screen where the heaters are listed under appliance, scroll to the bottom and click the re-arrange button. Press, hold and drag each heater to the order desired. Save when complete.

I forgot to turn my heaters off and no one is at home?

  • A key feature of the Bromic Smart-Heat App is remote access and control. This is available for controllers configured to operate on an internet connection such as Wifi or Ethernet. Simply open the Bromic Smart-Heat App and turn off the heaters from the appliance menu.
  • If you cannot access the controller, the safety cut off timer will activate after the predefined countdown. This is set by default as 4hours and can be changed by the Admin User.

How do I know if my Appliances are connected to WiFi?

  • There is a connection icon next to the heater name. This icon will change depending on the connection status of the heater.

Why does my Appliance switch from WiFi to Bluetooth or between other connection methods?

  • The Affinity Smart-Heat controllers have the ability to switch connection method depending on the status of the connection. If the internet, ethernet or WiFI connection is lost, the controller will switch to other available connections and if no other connections are configured, then will default to Bluetooth connection. This ensures that the heaters can be operated at all times. Connection will restore back to the WiFi or Ethernet configuration once it is up.

What does the warning message “Controller is unreachable through Bluetooth” mean?

  • The controller is currently operating on a Bluetooth connection and it is not accessible due to one of the following reasons:
  1. The controller is out of range from the Smart device connecting to it.
  2. The controller is currently connected and working with another Bluetooth device.
  • All heaters connected to this controller will display the warning message.

What does the warning message “Controller is currently offline” mean?

  • The controller is currently powered off and cannot be accessed. All heaters connected to this controller will display the warning message.

Why can’t I setup all heaters on a single Zone?

  • Zones are used for controlling multiple heaters with common functions. Zones allow heaters to turn on, set all heaters to dimming level of 50%, or set lighting output to any level. It is only possible to setup zones for same type of heating appliances.

Why do my heaters which off automatically after 4hours?

  • Each controller has a default 4hr timer off countdown. When the controller is operating on Bluetooth and connection has been idle for 4hrs, the heaters for this specific controller will switch off. This interval setting can be changed to 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 hours or disabled. Each controller has its own individual settings. To change this, go to the site configuration menu, edit site, select the controller, click the controller name to go to the detailed page. At the bottom there will be a dropdown list to change the value. It is recommended to not disable this setting.
