2. Setup and Installation
The Netatmo Smart Thermostat is designed for easy self-installation, typically taking less than an hour. It is compatible with most boiler models, including electric, gas, oil, wood, and heat pump systems. The thermostat can replace an existing wireless or wall-mounted thermostat or be installed as a new unit.
2.1. Compatibility Check
Before installation, ensure your heating system is compatible. The thermostat operates with dry contact, potential-free (ON/OFF) systems.
2.2. Installation Steps
- Prepare for Installation: Turn off the power to your heating system at the main circuit breaker.
- Choose Placement: The thermostat can be placed wirelessly on its mobile stand or mounted on a wall using the provided wall plate.
- Connect the Relay: The Relay acts as the communication hub. Connect it to your boiler according to the specific wiring diagram for your boiler type. Detailed guides and videos are available on the Netatmo Helpcenter.
- Insert Batteries: The thermostat requires 3 AAA batteries (6 are included in the package for extended use).
- Power On and Connect to Wi-Fi: Restore power to your heating system. Download the Netatmo Energy application on your smartphone or tablet. Follow the in-app instructions to connect the Relay to your home Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz) and pair it with the thermostat.
The connection between the Relay and your internet box uses Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz), while the communication between the thermostat and the Relay uses long-range radio (868 MHz). Supported security protocols include Open/WEP/WPA/WPA2-personal (TKIP and AES).
