Weak Wi‑Fi signal at thermostat location, Congested 2.4 GHz channel, Router power-saving features, Firmware issues
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No mains work required.
Steps:
- Check Wi‑Fi signal strength at the thermostat location using a smartphone; if weak, move the router closer or install a Wi‑Fi extender.
- Change the router's Wi‑Fi channel to a less congested one (1, 6, or 11 on 2.4 GHz).
- Disable aggressive power-saving or band-steering features that may disconnect IoT devices.
- Update router firmware and thermostat firmware to the latest versions.
- Re-add the thermostat to the Heatmiser app after performing a Wi‑Fi reset on the thermostat.
