10. Troubleshooting
- Thermostat not responding: Check battery level or USB power connection. Ensure the receiver is powered and connected to the boiler.
- No heating/cooling: Verify the thermostat is in the correct mode (heating/cooling) and the set temperature is appropriate. Check the wiring connections to the boiler.
- Wi-Fi connection issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4G. Restart your router and the thermostat. Follow the app's pairing instructions carefully.
- Inaccurate temperature readings: Ensure the thermostat is not placed near heat sources, direct sunlight, or drafts.
11. User Tips
- Optimal Placement: For accurate temperature readings, place the thermostat in a central location away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat-emitting appliances.
- Receiver Distance: While the wireless connection is robust, consider the distance and number of walls between the thermostat and receiver. For boilers located outside or behind multiple walls, ensure the signal strength is adequate during setup.
- Programming for Efficiency: Utilize the daily programming feature to set lower temperatures when you are away or asleep, and higher temperatures when you are home, to maximize energy savings.
- Child Lock Activation: If you have young children, remember to activate the child lock feature to prevent accidental changes to your heating schedule.
