Function and device overview

The Homematic IP Wall Thermostat offers time-controlled regulation of your conventional radiators with Homematic IP Radiator Thermostats or your floor heating in connection with Homematic IP Floor Heating Actuators according to individually tailored heating phases.

The wall thermostat serves to measure the temperature in a room. The data is cyclically transmitted to a radiator thermostat or floor heating actuator in order to regulate the room temperature precisely. In connection with a Homematic IP Window and Door Contact the temperature is reduced automatically during ventilation.

You can directly connect the wall thermostat to one or more Homematic IP devices (e.g. the Homematic IP Radiator Thermostat ­ basic) and adjust it to your personal settings. Alternatively, you can control the wall thermostat in connection with a Homematic IP Access Point comfortably via the free smartphone app.

Thanks to battery operation and radio communication, the device is highly flexible where mounting and selecting a mounting location are concerned.

Replacing batteries

If the symbol for empty batteries ( ) appears in the display or in the app, please replace the used batteries by two new LR6/mignon/AA batteries. You must observe the correct battery polarity

To replace the batteries of the device, please proceed as follows:

  • Once mounted, the electronic unit (A) can easily be pulled out of the mounting plate. Take hold of the sides of the electronic unit and pull it from the mounting plate.
  • Turn the electronic unit over to remove or insert the batteries.
  • Insert two new 1.5 V LR6/mignon/AA batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that you insert them the right way round (see figure 14).
  • Place the electronic unit back into the mounting plate (see figure 12).
  • Please pay attention to the flashing signals of the device LED while inserting the batteries (see see „9.4 Error codes and flashing  sequences“ on page 54

Once the batteries have been inserted, the device will perform a softest (approx. 2 seconds). Afterwards, initialization is carried out. The test display will indicate that initialization is complete: orange and green lighting.

Caution! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced correctly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Never recharge non- rechargeable batteries. Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. Doing so will present a risk of explosion.

Contact with batteries that are dead or damaged can cause skin irritation. Use protective gloves in this case.

Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to your local battery disposal point.

Troubleshooting

Weak battery

Provided that the voltage value permits it, the device will remain ready for operation also if the battery voltage is low. Depending on the particular load, it may be possible to send transmissions again repeatedly, once the batteries have been allowed a brief recovery period.
If the voltage drops too far during transmission, the empty battery symbol ( ) and the corresponding error code will be displayed on the device (see see „9.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 54). In this case, replace the empty batteries by two new batteries (see see „8 Replacing batteries“ on page 52).

Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (C) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see see „12 General information about radio operation“ on page 56). The failed transmission may also be caused by the following:

  • Receiver cannot be reached.
  • Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
  • Receiver is defective.
Duty cycle

The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.
In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.

During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long flash of the device LED (C), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

  • Release the system button to finish the procedure. The device will perform a restart.

Maintenance and cleaning

The device does not require you to carry out any maintenance other than replacing the battery when necessary. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any repairs.

Clean the device using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring.
Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do onsite structural/screening conditions.
