- SmartGeo Technology: Enable SmartGeo within the app. This feature uses your location to automatically control your heating, warming your home in time for your arrival and preventing energy waste when you are away. This can lead to significant energy savings.
- Remote Control: Adjust temperature, change modes, and manage schedules from anywhere using your smartphone.
- Energy Monitoring: View energy consumption data and reports to understand and optimize your heating usage.
IFTTT Connectivity:
The 6iE thermostat supports IFTTT (If This Then That) integration, allowing it to communicate with other smart devices and services in your home. This enables advanced automation, such as controlling your thermostat with voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, or linking it to other smart home routines.
Maintenance
The Warmup 6iE Smart WiFi Thermostat requires minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the touchscreen and casing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the display or finish.
- Software Updates: Ensure your thermostat's firmware is up to date. Updates are typically delivered automatically via Wi-Fi when connected to the internet. Check the MyHeating app or the thermostat's settings for update status.
- Sensor Check: Periodically ensure the floor sensor (if installed) and air sensor are free from obstructions that could affect temperature readings.
No user-serviceable parts are inside the thermostat. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself, as this will void the warranty and could pose an electrical hazard.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your 6iE Smart WiFi Thermostat, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
