App / WiFi GUIDE – WFSTAT OPTIMUM VIBE WiFi PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT
Transmitter
Receiver
The OPTIMUM VIBE – Model WFSTAT incorporates both radio frequency and WiFi
connectivity.
The control set – when configured for T.P.I. control – meets the UK Government
BEIS Department’s criteria for Class IV control, contributing 2% to the energy
efficiency of the system.
The transmitter is battery-powered (2 x AAA alkaline); the receiver is mains- powered, with volt-free switching
The control set uses the license – free 868 MHz radio band to communicate between transmitter and receiver. The receiver incorporates both 868MHz RF and 2.4GHz WiFi communications. The Optimum Connect C-Home App (or the Tuya Smart App) will allow control of the thermostat and receiver wherever you are, from your smart phone via your WiFi router.
Install the C-Home App on your iOS or Android mobile phone – scan the QR code for your device below, or search C-Home on the iOS App or Google Play Store
The Tuya Smart App can also be used to control your Optimum Connect devices.
Load the App and follow the instructions to create your user account.
Before adding the thermostat in the App, make sure that you first connect the receiver and power-up the receiver. Then add the device as noted below.
Once the App is installed on your smart phone you can add the VIBE – WFSTAT.
If you have a dual-band WiFi router, make sure that your phone is connected
to the 2.4GHz network. You may have to separate the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
networks in the home page of your router to do so, as smart phones will often
connect to the 5GHz network by default.
In the App home screen touch the + icon (top RH corner) to add a device.

flashing.
