IssueDescThe Doctor says: The new Wireless Radiator Valve needs to be included
ID9

The following explains how to add a new Genius Radiator Valve (Wireless Radiator Valve) to a Genius Hub.

Warning

If you have an existing Genius Radiator Valve it will need to be factory reset before it is connected to a Genius Hub.

See here for how to factory reset a Genius Valve



Troubleshooting step

First, take the Genius Radiator Valve to the Genius Hub (the part that is connected to your internet router) so it is within 2 meters of the Genius Hub with nothing in between.

Remove the battery cover. Do this by placing a fingernail at the bottom of the battery cover, pulling the catch up (in the direction of the screen) and compressing the slit next to the catch. The battery cover hinges at the screen end of the valve.

Ensure there are new batteries in the Genius Radiator Valve and they are correctly oriented.

Note: both of the springs are at the top of the valve but one battery points up and the other points down.

Replace the battery cover, starting at the top (nearest the screen).


Troubleshooting step

Now the hub needs to get ready to add the device.
