Setup

Battery Installation

The thermostat requires 2 x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries (LR6). Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries ensuring correct polarity (+/-), and close the compartment securely.

Physical Installation

The thermostat is designed for compatibility with most radiator valves. Use the provided accessories and follow the instructions specific to your TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) type for secure attachment. Ensure the thermostat is firmly mounted for accurate temperature sensing and valve control.

Network Configuration (WiFi)

To connect the thermostat to your WiFi network for app control, a Tuya hub is required. Ensure your Tuya hub is properly set up and connected to your home network.

1. Ensure the thermostat is in the OFF state.
2. Press and hold the rotary knob for 5 seconds to enter network configuration mode. The WiFi icon on the display will flash.
3. Open the mobile application (e.g., Tuya Smart app) and follow the on-screen instructions to add the device and complete the pairing process with your Tuya hub.

This illustration demonstrates how the thermostat connects to a WiFi router, enabling control via a mobile application and voice commands. A Tuya hub is required for this functionality.

Operating Instructions

Setting Temperature

Rotate the knob on the thermostat to adjust the desired temperature. The set temperature will be displayed on the LED panel. The temperature setting range is 5-35℃.

To set the temperature, simply rotate the top knob of the thermostat. The new temperature setting will be visible on the display.

App Operation

For more convenient and remote control, download the dedicated mobile application (e.g., Tuya Smart app). The app allows you to remotely control the thermostat, set schedules, monitor its status, and access additional features.

The mobile application provides a user-friendly interface to manage your thermostat, allowing you to adjust settings and monitor temperature from your smartphone.

The smart thermostat application offers comprehensive control, including features like antifreeze mode, child lock activation, temperature setting, and programming options.

Programming Modes

The thermostat supports both programmable and non-programmable modes. You can set up to 4 time periods per week for automated temperature adjustments, optimizing energy consumption and comfort. Refer to the mobile app for detailed programming instructions.

The thermostat offers flexible programming options, allowing users to choose between programmable and non-programmable modes to suit their heating schedule.

Child Lock Function

To prevent accidental changes to settings, especially by children, activate the child lock function:

1. When the thermostat is ON, long press the rotary knob for approximately 3-5 seconds.
2. The screen will display "LC" (Lock) to indicate the child lock is active.
3. To unlock, repeat the long press operation on the rotary knob. The "LC" indicator will disappear.

Anti-Freezing Function

The thermostat includes an automatic anti-freezing function to protect your pipes during cold weather:

1. When the thermostat is in the OFF state ("OFF" is displayed), the mobile app will show the anti-freezing function as enabled.
2. If the room temperature drops below 5°C, the valve will automatically open to prevent freezing.
3. The valve will close once the temperature returns to 8°C.

The anti-freezing function automatically activates when the room temperature falls below 5°C, opening the valve to prevent pipes from freezing. It deactivates when the temperature reaches 8°C.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the thermostat with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical agents, as these can damage the device's surface or internal components.

Battery Replacement

When the low battery warning appears on the display, replace both AA 1.5V alkaline batteries promptly to ensure continuous and accurate operation. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.

Troubleshooting

• Network Configuration: Repeat the network configuration steps as described in the Setup section.
• Tuya Hub: Verify that a Tuya hub is properly set up and connected, as it is required for WiFi/App control.

Temperature not regulating correctly

• Obstructions: Check for any obstructions around the thermostat that might affect its ability to sense the room temperature accurately (e.g., curtains, furniture).
• Valve Operation: Ensure the radiator valve is functioning correctly and is not stuck.
