Possible Causes
No internal backup battery or capacitor, Failed RTC backup component, Frequent power interruptions, Incorrect time zone settings in app
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate mains before opening mains-powered thermostats.
- Set correct time: Manually set the time and date on the thermostat or via the Wiser app. Ensure the correct time zone is selected.
- Check backup: On models with backup cells, inspect for leakage or failure. These may require replacement of the front module.
- Use app/cloud time: For Wiser systems, ensure the HubR is online so that time is synchronised from the internet.
- Stabilise power: If power cuts are frequent, consider fitting an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the router and HubR.
