The following explains how to add a new Time and Temperature addon (Electric Switch with Tank Temperature Probe) to a Genius Hub.
| Troubleshooting step |
|---|
Power on the Electric Switch within direct range of the Genius Hub (either in the same room as each other, or adjacent rooms). If the devices are not close enough together, then use either of the following steps: 1. Move the Genius Hub closer to the Electric Switch. The Genius Hub must have power and an Internet connection. This can be done by: a) Using a long Ethernet cable b) Plugging the Hub into a different Ethernet switch c) Using a Power Line Ethernet adaptor or WiFi booster which has an Ethernet port (see this link for how to connect the hub with a power-line Ethernet adaptor) 2. Temporarily wire the Electric Switch to a plug and short piece of flex so you can power on the Electric Switch next to the Genius Hub. It is recommended that this is done by an electrician/heating engineer. Next, remove the white front cover from the Electric Switch using a flat bladed screwdriver. Push the screwdriver into the slot on the underside of the cover and flex the slot out slightly to release the white cover. Ensure that the Tank Temperature Probe is wired into the terminals found at the back of the device before continuing.
