3. Setup and Installation
Installation of the Netatmo Smart Thermostat involves two main steps: wiring the Relay to your heating system and setting up the Netatmo Energy app.
3.1. Relay Wiring
The Relay connects directly to your boiler. This process may require basic electrical knowledge. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
- Power Off: Ensure the main power supply to your heating system is switched off at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
- Identify Wiring: Locate the existing thermostat wiring or the boiler's thermostat connection points. The Netatmo Relay is designed to replace most standard wired or wireless thermostats.
- Connect Relay: Follow the specific wiring diagrams provided in the detailed installation guide (often found within the Netatmo app or on the official Netatmo support website) to connect the Relay to your boiler. The Relay typically requires a 250V wired connection.
- Mount Relay: Secure the Relay in a suitable location, usually near the boiler.
- Restore Power: Once all connections are secure, restore power to your heating system.
3.2. Thermostat Placement
The main thermostat unit communicates wirelessly with the Relay. It can be placed on its mobile stand in any room or mounted on a wall.
- Optimal Location: Choose a central location in your main living area, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources (e.g., radiators, lamps) that could affect temperature readings.
- Wall Mounting: Use the provided wall plate, screws, and plugs to securely mount the thermostat unit at an appropriate height (typically 1.5 meters from the floor).

3.3. App Setup and Connectivity
The Netatmo Energy app is essential for controlling and configuring your thermostat.
- Download App: Download the Netatmo Energy app from your smartphone's app store (available for iOS and Android).
- Create Account: Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to create a Netatmo account or log in if you already have one.
- Pair Thermostat: The app will guide you through the process of pairing your Smart Thermostat with the Relay and connecting it to your home Wi-Fi network. Ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and within range.
- Initial Calibration: The thermostat may undergo an initial calibration period to learn your home's thermal inertia.

5. Maintenance
5.1. Battery Replacement
The Netatmo Smart Thermostat is powered by 3 AAA alkaline batteries. The app will notify you when the battery level is low.
- Gently remove the thermostat unit from its wall plate or mobile stand.
- Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit.
- Replace the old batteries with 3 new AAA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment and reattach the thermostat unit.
5.2. Cleaning
To clean the thermostat, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray cleaners directly on the device.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Netatmo Smart Thermostat, consider the following:
- No Display/Power: Check the batteries. Ensure they are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge.
- No Heating: Verify that the Relay is properly connected to the boiler and has power. Check the thermostat's schedule and current mode in the app. Ensure your boiler is functioning correctly.
- Connectivity Issues: Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and the Relay is within range. Try restarting your Wi-Fi router and the Netatmo Relay (by briefly disconnecting and reconnecting its power). If issues persist, try re-pairing the thermostat via the app's setup process.
- Inaccurate Temperature Readings: Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or other heat sources. If consistently inaccurate, a calibration offset can sometimes be adjusted in the app settings.
- App Not Responding: Close and reopen the Netatmo Energy app. Ensure your smartphone has an active internet connection.
