4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Power Supply Options

Comparison of battery and USB-C power supply for the thermostat. Battery power dims and turns off the screen after 5 seconds to save power. USB-C charging keeps the screen always on, with customizable vibration wake times.
Figure 4.1: Battery Powered vs. USB Powered
  • Battery Power: Uses 3x AAA batteries (not included). To save battery, the screen will dim and turn off after 5 seconds.
  • USB-C Power: A USB port on the side allows for hassle-free wall mounting. With USB-C charging, the screen can remain always on. You can set vibration wake times in the app.

4.2 Wiring Diagram

Important: Due to the strong power design of some circuits, installation should be performed by qualified professionals. Most boilers are connected to COM and NO terminals, while a few are connected to COM and NC.
