Possible Causes
Corrupted timekeeping firmware, Failed RTC chip on Geo PCB, Loss of backup power to RTC, Incorrect time zone or NTP sync failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No high‑voltage work is required.
- Step 1 – Manually set time and date: In the thermostat settings, set the correct time, date, and time zone. Save and observe if the time drifts or resets.
- Step 2 – Enable network time sync: Ensure the thermostat is connected to Wi‑Fi and that automatic time synchronization is enabled in settings.
- Step 3 – Firmware update: Update the thermostat firmware via the Geo app to correct any known RTC bugs.
- Step 4 – Factory reset: If E19 persists, perform a factory reset and reconfigure the device, then recheck timekeeping over 24–48 hours.
- Step 5 – Replace thermostat: If the clock continues to lose time or reset and E19 remains, the RTC hardware or backup power is defective. Replace the thermostat head unit.
