4.5 Dormancy Function

After approximately 5 seconds of no operation, the TRV enters a dormancy (sleep) mode to conserve battery life. The display will dim or turn off. To reactivate, simply press any button.

4.6 Open Window Function

When an open window is detected (indicated by a sharp drop in room temperature), the TRV will automatically signal the valve to close, preventing energy waste. This function can be enabled via the Smart Life app.

• Activation: Enable the window detection function in the Smart Life app.
• Detection: If the ambient temperature drops by more than 1.5°C within 4.5 minutes, the open window function activates. The screen displays "OP", and the temperature is set to 12°C.
• Termination: The open window function will terminate if:
  1. A temperature setting operation is performed on the app or device.
  2. The detected temperature rises by more than 1.5°C within 4.5 minutes.
  3. No operation is performed on the app or device within 30 minutes.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Anti-scaling Function

The radiator thermostat performs a routine descaling operation every Saturday at 00:00 (midnight) to prevent valve calcification and ensure smooth operation.

5.2 Battery Replacement

When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. Refer to the battery compartment lock for access.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Qiumi TRV, consider the following:

• Device not responding: Check battery level. Ensure the child lock is not active.
• No connection to app: Verify the Zigbee Gateway is powered on and connected to your network. Ensure the TRV is within range of the gateway. Re-pair the device if necessary.
• Incorrect temperature readings: Ensure the TRV is not obstructed or exposed to direct heat sources (e.g., sunlight, other appliances) that could affect its internal sensor.
• Valve not opening/closing: Check for physical obstructions. Ensure the anti-scaling function is operating correctly.
