Possible Causes

Active schedule overriding manual settings, Remote changes from Rheem app or integrated smart home platform, Misconfigured geofencing or occupancy features, Firmware glitch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Review schedule: Check the programmed schedule to see if changes align with scheduled events. Adjust or disable schedule if undesired.
  • Check app activity: Review recent activity in the Rheem app or any linked smart home system (e.g., voice assistants) for remote changes.
  • Disable geofencing/auto-away: Temporarily turn off any occupancy-based features to see if behavior stabilizes.
  • Secure account: Change passwords and ensure only authorized users have access.
  • If random changes persist with all automation disabled: Perform a factory reset. Continued issues may indicate a faulty thermostat.
