Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermostat not powering on | No batteries or dead batteries; USB-C cable not connected or faulty. | Insert fresh AAA alkaline batteries or connect the USB-C cable to a power source. |
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi password; 5 GHz Wi-Fi network active; thermostat too far from router; Bluetooth not enabled on phone. | Verify Wi-Fi password. Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz network and temporarily disable 5 GHz. Move thermostat closer to router. Enable Bluetooth on your phone. |
| Heating not turning on/off | Incorrect wiring to boiler; boiler issue; thermostat not in heating mode. | Check wiring connections (NO/COM). Ensure boiler is functioning correctly. Verify thermostat is set to heating mode and target temperature is above ambient. |
| Inaccurate temperature reading | Thermostat placed near heat source/draft; sensor calibration needed. | Relocate thermostat away from direct heat or cold drafts. Use the temperature calibration feature in settings. |
