4. Setup
4.1 Power Supply for Thermostat
The BOT-R6X thermostat display unit can be powered in two ways:
- USB-Powered: Use the provided Type-C USB cable to connect the thermostat to a power source. This is ideal when placing the thermostat on a desktop.
- Battery-Powered: For wall-mounted installations or flexible placement, the thermostat can be powered by 3 AA batteries (not included).
4.2 Thermostat Placement
The thermostat offers versatile placement options:
- Desktop Placement: Use the included stand to place the thermostat on any flat surface, such as a table or desk. The stand can be easily attached or removed.
- Wall Mounting: For a more permanent installation, the thermostat can be mounted on a wall. Ensure to use the provided screws and follow the drilling guide for expansion screws (59mm distance, 3-3.5mm diameter).
4.3 Receiver Connection to Heating System
The receiver unit connects directly to your gas boiler or actuators. The receiver is powered by 220V AC. For your safety, installation should always be performed by a qualified professional.
- Connect N and L pins to a 220V AC power supply.
- For gas boilers, connect the K1 and K2 pins (dry contacts) to your boiler's control terminals. Refer to your boiler's manual for specific wiring.
- For NC (Normally Closed) actuators, connect N and NC pins.
- For NO (Normally Open) actuators, connect N and NO pins.
- The receiver can also connect to a pumper.
Important: Boilers and actuators/valves cannot be connected at the same time. Ensure proper wiring to avoid damage or safety hazards.
4.4 Wireless Connection (RF)
The thermostat and receiver communicate wirelessly via 433MHz radio frequency. This allows for flexible placement of the thermostat up to 30 meters from the receiver, which is beneficial if your heating system is not in the same room as the thermostat.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Thermostat Display and Controls
The thermostat features a clear display and intuitive touch buttons for control.
- **Power On/Off Button:** Controls the main power of the thermostat.
- **M (Mode) Button:** Switches between Auto mode and Manual mode.
- **Up/Down Arrows:** Adjusts the set temperature or navigates menu options.
5.2 App Control (Wi-Fi)
The BOT-R6X-WIFI model can be connected to your home Wi-Fi network and controlled remotely using the Smart Life or Tuya Smart applications on your mobile device.
- Download the 'Smart Life' or 'Tuya Smart' app from your smartphone's app store.
- Register or log in to your account.
- Follow the in-app instructions to add your BOT-R6X-WIFI thermostat. This typically involves putting the thermostat into pairing mode and connecting it to your Wi-Fi network.
- Once connected, you can monitor and adjust the temperature, set schedules, and access other features from anywhere.
5.3 Voice Control
Integrate your thermostat with popular voice assistants for hands-free control:
- Amazon Alexa: Link your Smart Life/Tuya Smart account to Alexa. Use commands like, "Alexa, make the heater warmer in here." or "Alexa, set the study to 21 degrees Celsius."
- Google Home: Link your Smart Life/Tuya Smart account to Google Home. Use commands like, "Hey Google, set the thermostat to 22 degrees."
- Alice: The thermostat also works with Alice.
5.4 Programmable Schedules
The thermostat allows you to set customized heating schedules to match your daily routine, optimizing comfort and energy savings.
- Switch between automatic and manual modes using the 'M' button.
- In automatic mode, you can program up to 6 periods for weekdays and 2 periods for weekends, each with a specific temperature setting.
- Refer to the detailed programming instructions in the included User Guide for setting up your personalized schedules.
5.5 Temperature Hysteresis
The thermostat maintains a precise temperature with a hysteresis of 0.5°C. This means heating will turn on when the room temperature drops 0.5°C below the set temperature and turn off when it reaches the set temperature, ensuring stable comfort.
5.6 Backlight Display
The thermostat's backlight automatically turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery power and prevent disturbance, especially in bedrooms.
5.7 Child Lock
Activate the child lock function to prevent accidental changes to the thermostat settings. This feature is particularly useful in households with children.
5.8 Frost Protection
The built-in frost protection feature automatically activates heating if the room temperature drops below 5°C, preventing pipes from freezing and protecting your heating system during cold weather.
6. Maintenance
- **Cleaning:** Wipe the thermostat's screen and body with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the device.
- **Battery Replacement:** If using battery power, replace the 3 AA batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Ensure correct polarity.
- **Avoid Obstructions:** Keep the thermostat free from obstructions (e.g., furniture, curtains) that could block airflow and affect temperature readings.
- **Environmental Conditions:** Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources, as this can lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat display is blank. | No power (USB or batteries). | Check USB connection or replace AA batteries. |
| Heating system not responding. | Receiver not powered or wired incorrectly. RF communication issue. | Ensure receiver has 220V AC power. Verify wiring to boiler/actuators. Check RF signal strength; move thermostat closer to receiver if needed. |
| App control not working. | Thermostat not connected to Wi-Fi or app. Wi-Fi signal weak. | Ensure thermostat is connected to Wi-Fi. Re-pair with the app if necessary. Check Wi-Fi router. |
| Inaccurate temperature reading. | Thermostat placed near heat source/draft, or in direct sunlight. | Relocate the thermostat to a more central and stable temperature area. |
| Voice control not responding. | Incorrect voice assistant setup or command. | Verify Smart Life/Tuya Smart account is linked to your voice assistant. Use correct commands. |
8. User Tips
- **Optimal Placement:** For the most accurate temperature readings, place the thermostat in a central room, away from direct sunlight, windows, doors, or heat-emitting appliances.
- **Battery Life:** If using batteries, consider using high-quality alkaline batteries for longer life. Remove batteries if the thermostat will be unused for an extended period.
- **Wi-Fi Stability:** Ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and the thermostat is within good range of your router for reliable app and voice control.
- **Professional Installation:** For the receiver unit's wiring, especially with gas boilers, it is highly recommended to consult a qualified electrician or heating engineer to ensure safe and correct installation.
