5.2 Cleaning

To clean the thermostats and base station, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or wet cloths, as these can damage the devices.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hama Intelligent WiFi Heating Control System, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Thermostat not heating when desired temperature is set:
  Ensure the difference between the current room temperature and the set target temperature is sufficient (e.g., at least 3°C). Some systems require a larger differential to activate heating. Check if the thermostat is in manual mode or following a schedule.
• Base Station cannot connect to WiFi:
  Verify that your WiFi router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz network. The base station may have difficulty connecting to combined 2.4 GHz/5 GHz networks. Try separating your WiFi bands in your router settings if possible. Ensure the base station is within range of your router.
• Open window detection not working:
  Ensure the thermostat is correctly installed and calibrated. The effectiveness of open window detection can vary based on window type, room size, and thermostat placement. If the issue persists, consider manually adjusting the temperature when windows are open.
• Thermostat display is blank or unresponsive:
  Check the battery level and replace batteries if necessary. Ensure the thermostat is securely attached to the radiator valve.
• App cannot find devices:
  Ensure the base station is powered on and connected to WiFi. Confirm that your mobile device is connected to the internet. Try restarting the app and the base station.
