The Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 system is integrated with the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 Alert System service. Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 Alert System is an online platform that allows you to receive notifications from Devices connected in the Ferguson Smart Home mobile application available on iOS and Android platforms, based on the consent given by the User. The platform allows, among other things, define how notifications from Users’ Smart Home Devices are to be distributed as part of the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 Alert System to the Customer, e.g. to an insurance or security company that, wanting to provide an even greater sense of security to their Customers, can react to events and emergency situations that occur at Ferguson Smart users and immediately after their occurrence.
In a situation where the Ferguson Smart user concludes a contract with such a company and this company will add information about it his devices in the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 Alert System, the user will also see such information in his mobile application.
Yes. One of the advantages of the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 system is the ability to control devices from anywhere in the world. In this way, while on vacation in winter, you can, for example, set the temperature at home. All that is required is Internet access to also have access to Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 devices
Yes. In order to be able to use the SH2.0 system in a place where there are problems with the network or electricity, the system should be additionally equipped with a Wifi modem and a power bank. There are also SIM card modems on the market that have a built-in battery. Thanks to the fact that the Smart Hub control panel has a built-in battery and is able to operate undisturbed for several hours after the power is cut off, and thanks to the addition of a modem with a SIM card, the SH2.0 solution becomes an additional blackout resistant mobile system.
The Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 system uses Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth LE and GPRS technologies.
Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 devices are intended for use in closed rooms, however, if they are to be installed outdoors, it must be in a place where they will not come into contact with water.
No, the sensors are not compatible with the newer system.
An unlimited number of Smart Hubs can be connected to the application, while a maximum of 250 sensors can be paired to one Smart Hub in accordance with the specifications using the ZigBee protocol and 13 via the Bluetooth protocol.
No, in order to take full advantage of the possibilities of Ferguson Smart Home 2.0, it is required to connect the Smart Hub to the Internet (via Wi-Fi 2.4GHz).
The Smart Hub will not work with 5GHz Wi-Fi. To fully use the system, you need a Smart Hub that connects the devices to Ferguson Home 2.0. Some devices do not require pairing with the Smart Hub to work. In such a situation, however, we lose the possibility of remote supervision via the mobile application.
Yes, the application works on Android from version 5.0. You can download it from the Google Play Store at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.treesat.smarthome&hl=pl&gl=US
Yes, the app works on iOS from version 11. It can be downloaded from the App Store at: https://apps.apple.com/pl/app/ferguson-home/id1539129277?l=pl
Basically, the Ferguson Home system wakes up the app and alerts you loudly by using sounds on your phone. However, each phone model may have different settings. If the triggered alarm causes that the phone does not wake up with a sound despite arming the Smart Hub, then you should go to the application settings. To enter the information and settings of the Ferguson Home application, long press the application icon and then go to Application information. As part of the Application information, you need to search for settings related to notifications and enable notifications during the lock screen and allow sound (function names may differ depending on the phone model).
Sensors are sorted by Smart Hub and within the Smart Hub / created group alphabetically. In addition, it is possible to sort thermostatic heads within a group, and then control the grouped heads (turning on/off all, turning on/off the operating program and setting the same schedule for all, setting the temperature for manual mode for all heads at the same time).
Yes, each sensor has the option to rename it with its own name.
Sensors in Ferguson Home can be divided into 2 groups. The first group includes sensors powered by 230V “non-battery sensors”. The second group are battery powered sensors “battery sensors”.
Battery sensors:
-
- Thermostatic valve (FS2TRV)
- Temperature and humidity sensor (FS2HT)
- Motion sensor (FS2MS) – battery sensor
- Multipurpose sensor (FS2MP)
- Vibration sensor (FS2VS)
- Remote control (FS2RC)
- Smoke detector (FS2SD)
- GSM smoke detector (FS2SD-GSM)
- Carbon monoxide sensor (FS2CO)
- Water leak sensor (FS2WL)
Non-battery sensors:
-
- Double 230V junction relay (FS2RS)
- Intelligent alarm siren (FS2SA) – additionally equipped with a built-in battery to maintain operation
- Repeater and gas leak sensor (FS2RG)
- Programmable Wi-Fi Thermostat (FS2TH)
- Human presence sensor (FS2OS)
Depending on the type of sensor in the application, we can distinguish different states of sensors:
Battery sensors distinguish 4 sensor states:
-
- “OK” state – this is the state in which the detector remains in standby mode waiting for an alarm situation. Then the sensor works “in the background”.
- “No dumps” state – this is the state when the sensor battery has discharged or the sensor exceeds the period in which it should perform typical dumps. In this case, a yellow exclamation mark icon will appear next to the sensor. You should then check the battery level – if the application shows the battery level around 0%, the battery should be replaced. If the battery condition is OK, trigger an alarm from the detector to check if the detector is working properly.
- “Low battery” status – the status is shown if the battery level is lower than 15%. In the case of the battery below 15%, a flashing battery icon appears next to the sensor.
- “Activating” status – applies only to the GSM smoke detector. This is the state of a newly added sensor to the app which means the sensor is not active yet. Activation of the GSM smoke detector may take 24 hours from the moment it is added to the application, after which the detector goes into the “OK” state and starts working normally like other battery sensors.
Non-battery sensors distinguish 2 sensor states:
-
- “Online” status – device is connected to the mains and operating normally.
- “Offline” status – the device is disconnected from the power supply or not working properly – the red exclamation mark icon is displayed next to the sensor.
If the sensor’s battery runs out, the app’s sensor status will be “No Dumps”. In case the sensor battery level drops below 15% (the thermostatic valve has a descriptive battery status: low/good), the user will be informed about it, while in the application, next to the sensor, the low battery icon will flash.
Status Online/offline sensors refer to non-battery sensors, i.e. connected to electricity, i.e. Intelligent alarm siren, Dual flush relay, Gas sensor and ZigBee repeater and Presence sensor. This is information whether the sensor is working properly. If the sensor is offline, it does not send data to the system – check the sensor power supply.
After removing a sensor from the app, no data from the sensor is displayed. It is also necessary to unpair the sensor manually according to the instructions for complete removal.
Archiving of notifications moves the notifications to the “historical notifications” tab.
After removing notifications, they are permanently removed from the system.
Actions are “dependencies” between different Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 devices. The user can create actions that are useful for him, e.g. when the temperature from the temperature sensor is exceeded, the fan connected to the smart plug will be turned on.
You should use the option available at logging in “I forgot my password”, after entering the phone number or e-mail we will get a special code to set a new one.
By using the remote management of devices connected to the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 system, you can optimize media consumption. For example, having thermostatic heads mounted on the radiators, the user can set the program in such a way that the lower temperature in the house is set when the house is away. In addition, the use of a smart plug also allows you to save utilities, e.g. by connecting a device to the plug that is to be used only at a specific time during the day and the plug would disconnect it from the mains at night.
There are many variables that affect the range of Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 devices. These are, among others: the number of walls, their thickness, material they are made of. However, depending on the device, they can be installed in an open space between 70 and 100m from the Smart Hub.
By default, sensors are added to the Hubs group and arming the system is possible from the Hubs group level. In addition, the user can add any number of groups and add any devices to them, e.g. groups defined as ground ground floor/first floor location, etc. In addition, it is possible to sort thermostatic heads within a group, and then control the grouped heads (turning on/off all, turning on/off the operating program and setting the same schedule for all, setting the temperature for manual mode for all heads at the same time).
It is not possible. However, on the application desktop in the upper left corner there is a Shopping Cart icon. There you will find all the products from the Ferguson Smart Home offer with the option of going to the store and making a purchase.
It is a gateway that connects ZigBee and Bluetooth devices with the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 system. Thanks to it, it is possible to add additional devices and communicate between them. The Smart Hub also includes a loudspeaker so that all alarms will be heard.
We can connect the Smart Hub to the Internet using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

Disarmed mode means that the user will not receive notifications (on the phone, Smart Hub alarm and Smart Siren alarm) from the Motion, Multifunction, Vibration and Presence sensors. If the armed mode is set, we will receive notifications (on the phone, alarm in the Smart Hub and Smart Siren alarm) from the above devices. The other sensors operate independently, i.e. notifications regarding the event occur at the moment of the event, regardless of the armed/disarmed operating mode.
Night mode disables the audible alarm on the Smart Hub and Smart Siren for all sensors except the “Panic” button on the Remote Control. In this mode, phone notifications come from all devices.
When adding the device to the mobile app, pairing begins with connecting to the Wi-Fi network. The user then receives a notification about connecting to the server. The device checks if it has the latest firmware version. If so – it connects to the server and shows in the mobile application. If the software version of the Smart Hub is lower than the latest available, the user must wait until the end of the Smart Hub update process. After the update is completed, the user will receive a notification and the Smart Hub will be visible in the mobile application.
Updates happen automatically without the need to force it in the application. In the mobile application, the user will be informed about the appearance of a new software version (firmware) of the Smart Hub by entering the settings of the Smart Hub. Under the number of the current version, he will see information with the number of the latest software version and an icon for its installation. After enabling the installation, the Smart Hub will go offline and the user will be informed about the start of the update process. Upon completion of the update process, the user will also receive a corresponding notification. A pop-up information window will also inform about the availability of the new version of the Smart Hub firmware.
To change the Wi-Fi network, in Hub Settings, click Connect to another Wi-Fi network. Then put the Smart Hub into pairing mode and enter the details of the new network.
The Smart Hub is a connected device. After its disconnection from the power supply, it continues to function while online until the battery is discharged. Offline status can be either a flat battery or a loss of connection to the Wi-Fi network and thus also to the server. If the Smart Hub is offline, the sensors are also not connected to the server. Thus, they will not send alarms and will remain grayed out in the application until the Smart Hub is restored to operation.
In Smart Hub settings, you can enable the types of notifications you want to receive. These are alarms related to the arming status of the Smart Hub, offline mode of the Smart Hub, information about removing the Smart Hub from the base (tamper).

The Program tab in the thermostat settings is used to set an individual temperature schedule for each day of the week.
The thermostat allows you to receive notifications in the following situations: The temperature has dropped below and the temperature has risen above the set value. In addition, a notification can be sent when the sensor goes Offline.
The temperature resolution of the thermostat is 1°C (1°F).
The setting temperature range is: 7°C – 37°C (45°F – 99°F).
Yes, historical temperatures can be checked in the Graph tab for a period of 12 months back.
In the mobile application, the user will be shown information about new version of device firmware and Wi-Fi firmware. To update the firmware of the device, the user needs to run the update from the interface of the device itself.
The thermostat has 2 default programs that cannot be deleted. The user can add up to 2 additional programs.
The thermostat can operate in one of 5 modes:
-
- Heating – the thermostat turns heating on to the temperature set in the Program or manually to the next time range in the Program.
- Cooling – the thermostat turns on cooling to the temperature set in the Program or manually to the next time range in the Program.
- Auto – mode in which the thermostat maintains the temperature state within the set heating and cooling temperatures.
- Off – the thermostat does not regulate the ambient temperature.
- Emergency heating – thermostat mode available only if the thermostat is connected to control the heat pump and can be enabled if the settings of this mode are defined in the advanced settings interface of the thermostat.
The thermostat distinguishes 3 ventilation modes:
-
- Auto – The fan is controlled automatically depending on the room temperature.
- On – the fan stays on all the time regardless of the set program.
- Circulation – it is possible to set the fan on and off times.
The application allows you to create and edit programs, set the heating and cooling temperature, read the humidity, view the history of temperatures and humidity on the chart, set the ventilation with the option of adding a program, turn on the thermostat backlight and set the appropriate backlight parameters.
Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 – troubleshooting
If you have a problem with functioning of any element of the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 system, check the solutions for the most common problems below. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Check that there is no other device nearby that you have recently removed from the application and that it has not been physically (with the button) unpaired with the system.
If the LED blinks 6 times, it means that the device has become unpaired with the system. To re-pair, press the pairing button again until the LED flashes quickly.
Re-enter the Smart Hub into pairing mode by pressing the button in the small hole (using the “needle” included in the kit) located on the bottom of the housing for approx. 6-19s – LED no. 2 should blink green slowly.
You need to restart the Smart Hub. With the power connected, press the button in the small hole (using the “needle” included in the kit) on the bottom of the housing for approx. 1s – LED no. 2 should flash green quickly.
There are many variables that affect the range of the Ferguson Smart Home 2.0 system devices. These are, among others: the number of walls, their thickness, and the material of their construction.
The range of wireless communication varies between devices, but they can generally be installed between 70 and 100m (in open space) from the Smart Hub. Of course, the above-mentioned factors affect the range of wireless connectivity of devices, which must be borne in mind when installing them. It is possible that the device that is not working properly is too far from the Smart Hub, in which case the device should be moved closer to the Smart Hub or a repeater and gas leak detector (FS2RG) should be used, which extends the range of wireless communication.
If you have done the process correctly, check with your Internet access provider whether they allow TCP and UDP connections on all ports. This is required for proper communication with the server, and may be blocked by the Internet access service provider. To check this: prepare a second phone that will serve you as a router, turn off Wi-Fi on it, turn on cellular data, turn on hotspot, connect the phone with the Ferguson Home application to the hot spot and try to pair the central unit again – if successful, it means that calls are blocked and you need to contact your ISP.
Make sure your phone settings are properly configured.
