5.4. Special Features
- Open Window Detection: The thermostat can detect a sudden drop in temperature (e.g., from an open window) and temporarily turn off heating to save energy.
- Frost Protection: Automatically activates heating if the room temperature drops below a set minimum to prevent pipes from freezing.
- Child Lock: Prevents unauthorized changes to settings by locking the physical controls. This feature can be activated via the app.
- Valve Protection (Anti-calcification): Periodically opens and closes the valve to prevent calcification and ensure smooth operation.
- Temperature Calibration: Allows for fine-tuning of the temperature sensor for accuracy.

6. Maintenance
6.1. Battery Replacement
When the low battery warning icon appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. Follow the steps in Section 4.1.
6.2. Cleaning
Wipe the thermostat with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device.
6.3. Valve Protection
The thermostat includes an automatic valve protection function to prevent calcification. No user intervention is typically required for this feature.
7. Troubleshooting
- Thermostat not connecting to Zigbee Gateway:
Ensure the gateway is powered on and connected to your Wi-Fi. Check if the thermostat is in pairing mode (blinking Zigbee icon). Try restarting both the thermostat (by removing and reinserting batteries) and the gateway. Ensure they are within range. - Temperature not adjusting:
Check if the child lock is active via the app. Ensure batteries are not low. Verify the thermostat is securely mounted on the radiator valve. - Display is upside down:
Some radiator valve orientations may result in the display appearing upside down. This is a physical limitation of the device design and cannot be changed via software. Control via the app is recommended in such cases. - Inaccurate temperature readings:
Perform temperature calibration via the Smart Life/Tuya App if you suspect inaccurate readings. Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight or drafts that could affect its sensor. - Thermostat making noise:
The motor inside the thermostat makes a slight noise when adjusting the valve. This is normal operation. If the noise is excessive or continuous, check for proper installation and ensure the valve is not stuck.
