Possible Causes

Firmware bug or memory leak, Overloaded with complex schedules and integrations, Low supply voltage causing CPU throttling, Overheating of internal components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No high‑voltage work is required.

  • Reboot device: Power cycle the thermostat by turning off the HVAC breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
  • Update firmware: Use the Bosch app to check for and install the latest firmware, which may improve performance.
  • Simplify schedules: Reduce the number of complex schedules, scenes, or automation rules to lighten processing load.
  • Check for overheating: Ensure the thermostat is not in a hot, enclosed space. Improve airflow around it.
  • Replace if persistent: Ongoing severe lag after updates and resets may indicate internal hardware issues.
