6. Powering the Thermostat
The thermostat offers flexible power options:
- 3x AAA Batteries: The thermostat runs on 3 standard AAA batteries (not included). When the low battery indicator is displayed, battery replacement is required. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the back cover for battery replacement.
- USB Type-C Cable: The thermostat can also be powered via a Type-C USB cable. It features a dual-port design, meaning either of the two ports (side or back) on the device body can be used for connection. The USB cable provides power to the thermostat but does not charge rechargeable batteries if installed.

10. Troubleshooting
- Thermostat not powering on: Check if AAA batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. If using USB-C, ensure the cable is properly connected to a working power source.
- Heating/Cooling system not responding: Verify wiring connections to the boiler's dry contacts (NO/COM). Ensure the thermostat is in the correct mode (Heating/Cooling) and the set temperature is appropriate.
- Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Follow the app's instructions for pairing. Restarting the thermostat and your router may help.
- Inaccurate temperature readings: Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources that could affect its internal sensor.
- Buttons unresponsive: Check if the Child Lock feature is activated (look for the lock icon on the display). Deactivate it to regain control.
11. User Tips
- USB Power vs. Battery Charging: The USB-C cable provides continuous power to the thermostat. It does NOT charge rechargeable batteries if they are installed. If you use rechargeable batteries, you will need to remove them to charge them externally.
- Coexistence of Power Sources: You can use both AAA batteries and USB-C power simultaneously. The thermostat will primarily draw power from the USB-C connection if available, using batteries as a backup.
- Child Lock for Security: The child lock feature is effective for preventing unauthorized changes, making it suitable for environments like rented apartments where you want to maintain specific settings.
- Optimizing Battery Life: Utilize the energy-saving display feature. For the black version, the screen turns off completely, while the white version dims, both reducing power consumption.
12. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the thermostat's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace AAA batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to ensure continuous operation.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Tuya or Smart Life app for any available firmware updates for your thermostat to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
