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.

  2. Please start at the Receiver (rectangular white box) and press and hold both buttons for 5 seconds. '1' and the WiFi light will slowly flash.
  3. Now press, and release the right hand key, 1 and the WiFi light will rapidly flash.
