9. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Beok BOT-R3X-WIFI thermostat.
9.1. Pairing Issues
- Thermostat and Receiver not pairing: Ensure both devices are powered on. Follow the pairing steps in Section 5.1 carefully. Make sure the receiver's "Wireless" LED blinks during its configuration step and then stays lit after thermostat configuration.
- "Low Battery" alarm after connecting USB: If you switch from USB power to battery power, ensure the USB cable is disconnected before inserting the batteries.
9.2. Wi-Fi Connection Issues
- Unable to connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. The thermostat does not support 5 GHz networks.
- App not detecting thermostat: Make sure the thermostat's Wi-Fi icon is blinking, indicating it's in pairing mode. Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Intermittent connection: Check the signal strength of your Wi-Fi network near the thermostat. Ensure the thermostat is within range of your router.
9.3. Heating System Not Responding
- Boiler not turning on/off: Verify the receiver is correctly wired to your boiler (refer to Section 4.1). Check the receiver's indicator lights to ensure it's receiving commands from the thermostat.
- Temperature inaccuracy: The thermostat has a detection range (hysteresis) of 0.5 degrees. For example, if set to 20.5°C, heating may activate at 20°C and stop at 21°C. This is normal operation.
