Troubleshooting step |

...
Make sure that the Genius Radiator Valve 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 either of the following steps: 1. Unmount the Genius Radiator Valve from the radiator. This video shoes how to remove and refit the Genius Radiator Valve. |
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 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.
2. Move the Genius Hub closer to the Genius Radiator Valve . 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) |
