Navien NPE Hot button and Navlink

[Derf]

Hello,
After installing a “hot button” on my Navien 240, I lost the weekly setting schedule.
After reading all the documentation, it states the hot button doesn’t allow any form of scheduling. Is that correct or is there a work around? I thought, what a great idea, install a hot button, use if needed when hot water required before normal program. Why waste gallons of water. Now, think I wasted money on the hot button and will continue wasting water.
Thanks in advance,
Fred

No the hot button is to replace the schedule. Your supposed to use it every time. I always thought it was a dumb idea, but surprisingly people like the hot button.

John,
I agree, if the hot button is designed to be activated every time when hot water required, it is not a great product. I was hoping it would have worked with a schedule, activated if hot water need before schedule turn on circulation pump is turned on.
Knowing now what I know, probably would have setup a programable WiFi switch on the circulating pump.
Thanks
