The following explains how to re-add an existing Wireless Room Thermostat to a Genius Hub.
If you have an existing Room Thermostat it will need to be factory reset before it is connected to a Genius Hub. |
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. |
Now the hub needs to get ready to add the device.
|
Turn the thermostat back over so the dial is facing you. Rotate the dial until 'L' is on the screen and press the dial, as a button. 'L' will start to flash. After 10 seconds the screen shows 'LP' when the device has included successfully. If 'LP' is not displayed this is not a problem so long as a number for the device is assigned below. On success, the Room Thermostat has been assigned a number, write this number on the side of the device.
|
Turn the thermostat over, so the dial is facing away from you and put the number 1 dip switch into the DOWN (off) position. |
Now pick a zone to assign the Room Thermostat to.
|
|
|
First locate the Genius Room Thermostat which has been re-added Genius Hub. You need to use the original ID number of the device, and not the one which it currently has.
|
First the Genius Hub needs to attempt to communicate with the Genius Room Thermostat once more. This is to ensure that the device is a 'dead node' and so is eligible to be removed from the system in this way.
|
Now the device is confirmed as no longer on the system, it can be removed.
