7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MOES Smart Thermostat, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat is offline/cannot connect to Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi frequency (5GHz), weak signal, incorrect password, router issues. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz signal. Move the thermostat closer to the router. Verify Wi-Fi password. Restart your router and the thermostat. Re-pair the device in the app. |
| Thermostat loses time/program after power cut | Internal clock reset due to power interruption. | The thermostat should ideally retain settings. If it consistently resets, ensure stable power supply. Re-synchronize time via the app. If the issue persists, contact support. |
| Inaccurate temperature readings | Thermostat placed near heat sources/drafts, sensor obstruction. | Relocate the thermostat away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat-emitting appliances. Ensure no objects are blocking the internal sensor. |
| Heating system not responding | Wiring error, boiler malfunction, thermostat in incorrect mode. | Check wiring according to the diagram. Ensure the boiler is functioning correctly. Verify the thermostat is in heating mode and the set temperature is above the ambient temperature. |
