Make sure that the Room Thermostat |
...
is within 2 meters (line of sight) of the Genius Hub (the part that is connected to your |
...
Internet router). If the devices are not close enough together, then use the following steps: 1. Carefully remove the Room Thermostat from its backplate by loosening the two screws at the bottom of the backplate. 2. Move the Genius Hub closer to the Room Thermostat. The Genius Hub must have power and an Internet connection. This can be done by: a) Using a long Ethernet cable Ensure there are new batteries in the Room Thermostat. Turn the thermostat over, so the dial is facing away from you and put the number 1 dip switch (left side) into the UP (on) position. |

If it is measuring the temperature for the main source of heating for the property, first go to the 'Home Screen', next tap on 'Setup' (under the menu ••• ), tap on 'Assign Device' at the bottom and choose the Room Thermostat.
If it is measuring the temperature/occupancy for a room with radiators, electric heating or a zone of underfloor heating, go to the 'Home Screen', tap on the corresponding zone, tap on 'Zone Setup' (under the menu ••• ), tap on 'Assign Device' at the bottom and choose the Room Thermostat which is located in the zone that you are trying to control.
You also need to delete the old Room Thermostat from the list of devices as this no longer exists.
Go to the devices page (tap the 'Main Menu', then 'Settings', then 'Devices').
Tap on the ••• and then 'Ping' - this tells the hub that the Room Thermostat is not there as it will not reply to the ping.
Tap on 'Remove Dead Node' - this will remove the Room Thermostat from the list.
Do not unplug the Genius Hub for at least 30 minutes so the hub has time to save the new settings.
...
Tips for locating the Room Thermostat correctly:
• At chest height (so it measures the correct temperature).
• On an internal wall (so it measures the correct temperature and is not affected by being on a cold surface).
...
pick a zone to assign the Room Thermostat to.
