My account hasn’t paired ­ what do I do?

In the unlikely case that your account has not paired follow the steps below:

2. Put the Hub into setup mode – flashing green led once powered back on
3. Open the app and select – setup new system / create account in app
4. Skip adding rooms and devices as you have already done this
5. Complete the WiFi journey again – it should remember your details
6. You will then be able to create user account
7. Once that is done and you have verified the user account via email go back to the app
8. You can then put your address details in the app

My radiator thermostat doesn’t fit on the radiator valves, what should I

do?

• If the supplied adapters don’t enable you to fit your Wiser Radiator Thermostat to your existing radiator, please see our handy Wiser Radiator Thermostat Adapter Guide, which offers suggested alternatives and where you can find them to buy. This is located in the Documents & Downloads section below.

The flame on my app/thermostat is displayed indicating the heating is on,

however my boiler isn’t on. Is this normal?

• This is perfectly normal and your system is working correctly. The flame symbol shows your room/zone has not yet reached the set point, however your boiler will go on and off according to the algorithm. As the room/zone gets close to the set point, the time the boiler is on will decrease. This basically means the boiler is ensuring that your room doesn’t over heat and you don’t waste energy.

I had a power failure and when Wiser powered up again I couldn’t see any measured temperature in the app and the room/radiator thermostats were unresponsive. Does it mean I have to recommission the system?

• After a power failure please give your Wiser system up to 15 minutes to fully recover. There is no need to reset or disconnect any of your Wiser devices during this period.

Why is there a difference in temperature between the Wiser Room thermostat and Wiser Radiator thermostat?

• The difference between the Wiser Room Thermostat and Wiser Radiator Thermostat is that a Room Thermostat measures the actual temperature of a room and a Radiator Thermostat gives an approximate temperature. If you find that a Radiator Thermostat is consistently too warm or cool compared to expectations, then the best resolution is to adjust the setpoint (down if too warm or up if too cool).

How do I check I have the latest app version?

• Access your Google Play store or Apple app store account, search for Wiser Heat, if there is a new version to download, it will say so in the app. To update, press the update button.

I can’t find the Wiser Heat app in the App Store?

• This could be because your phone is not updated to the latest version of the App Store or Play Store. Please try and update your smart phone first and try again. Alternatively, this could be because your phone, App Store or Play Store are set to a different country outside of the UK.

I’m having trouble connecting to the cloud – is there an issue?

• The latest information on cloud status can be found by visiting the status page

What happens if my internet connection stops working?

• If for whatever reason your internet connection stops working, if you are at home and your smartphone and/or tablet is connected to the same WIFI network, you should still be able to use the app to control your heating and hot water.
• If outside the home and your internet / home Wi-Fi fails for whatever reason, you will not be able to control your heating or hot water via the app. Don’t worry though, your heating and hot water will still work and will run to any preprogrammed schedule.
• There is also manual override on the Heat HubR directly. By pressing either the hot water or heating buttons (depending on 1 channel or 2 channel variants) this will override any pre-programmed schedules and engage the heating and or hot water directly for a period of 1 hour for hot water and 2 hours for heating.

The Wiser app works at home but not when I’m out of the house?

• If you cannot access the Wiser app outside the home it may be because your account hasn’t paired correctly. If this happens please don’t worry, contact customer services providing the email address you attempted to register with, they can then confirm how to proceed.

The wifi symbol on my app and thermostat only shows 1 bar, will my system still work?

• Yes ­ One bar indicates that the system is connected to the Heat HubR and will be fully functioning. User experience won’t be affected by the number of signal bars displayed. The lack of a connection is indicated by a red ! . If this is the case, please contact Customer Support on 0333 6000 622

What should I do if my WiFi signal strength is displayed as being low?

• If your signal strength is low then you may need a WiFi repeater to be installed to improve the coverage, but if your system is operating as you’d expect then this may not be necessary. The nature of WiFi networks mean that some `low signal’ system will work with no issues as the environment may be favourable. WiFi repeaters are available from any good electrical retailer.
• You can find your signal strength by navigating to Settings’ >Rooms & Devices’ and scroll down to the Hub.

I’ve changed my Wifi router and now I’m struggling to access my Wiser system

• If you have changed our Wifi router or internet provider and can’t operate your Wiser system anymore you will need to complete the Wifi journey again. The instructions on how to do this are on page 55 of the Wiser user guide.

I am having issues adding a smart radiator thermostat or thermostat to my system?

• Please refer to the detailed instructions either via the app or in conjunction with the app use the detailed printed instructions that came with the heating control to help guide you through the process.
  If that still does not help, feel free to give us a call or email, and we will endeavour to guide you through the process.

Why is my room thermostat screen blank?

• The screen of the Wiser room thermostat is designed to time out several seconds after use, in order to save battery life. If you have just installed your Wiser HubR you may find that 30 minutes to an hour after installation and first connection to your wifi network, the room thermostat screen goes blank for up to 30 mins – this is the point at which your HubR will download the latest firmware and therefore the thermostat will go blank in order to accept updated graphics. There is no cause for concern, but please follow the steps below if this happens:

1. Do not remove batteries

2. Do not attempt to reset the room stat

3. Do not remove the device from the app in rooms and devices

4. Wait 30 minutes, and when attempting to wake the thermostat up the screen will come
   back

5. If you still experience issues please contact customer services

What do I do if I get a clock symbol and green bar on my Wiser thermostat

• If you have just installed your Wiser HubR or have received a new firmware update you may find that 30 minutes to an hour after installation and first connection to your WiFi network, the room thermostat screen has gone blank or is displaying a clock symbol for up to 30 mins – this is the point at which your HubR will download the latest firmware and therefore the thermostat will go blank/display a clock symbol in order to accept updated graphics. There is no cause for concern, but please follow the steps below if this happens:

1. Do not remove batteries
2. Do not attempt to reset the room stat
3. Do not remove the device from the app in rooms and devices
4. Wait 60 minutes, and when attempting to wake the thermostat up the screen will come back
5. If you still experience issues after a few hours please contact customer services for further advice
