Connecting the Thermostat to the Internet

Access Point



If you are looking to connect your thermostat to the internet via Wi-Fi Boosters or extenders, then access point mode would be beneficial for you. This is also the case if you are having problems connecting to your router via WPS mode.

Please note that you will require a Laptop, mobile or tablet to connect your device. If you are using a mobile phone or tablet, please ensure that your data is switched off before proceeding.

The following video will show you how to connect via Access Point.

Steps

  1. If you previously tried a WPS connection, and your Thermostat is still showing 'C1', reset the unit as described in the help at the bottom of this page.
  2. Please start at the Thermostat, press 'CH MODE' and 'BOOST HW' on the thermostat for 5 seconds. The Thermostat will display 'C3' to indicate that it is in access point mode.
  3. You will now need to search for the `Inspire` open network, please search for this by looking for an open Wi-Fi network from your device.
  4. Shortly a new open Wi-Fi network will appear, e.g. Inspire-1234, please note that the numbers will be unique to your relay. Connect to this Wi-Fi network from the device you are viewing this web page on. (Ignore any ‘no Internet’ warnings that might be shown)
  5. Wait 30 seconds, then click this link to select your WiFi network (opens in a new Window).
  6. You will now be able to see list of available connections. Select your router or booster, enter your password, then click 'Add'
  7. After approximately 1 minute, the Signal bars show, and the time is correct, connect your computer back to your router (this may have happened automatically). Your Thermostat should now be connected to your new router. Return to your account page.
  8. If no Signal bars are shown, reset the device as shown in the help below, if there is still no signal bars after 30 seconds, try again from step 1.
