Tuya
Relay Noise / Excessive Switching
Thermostat makes loud clicking noises frequently, disturbing occupants

Possible Causes
Mechanical relay used instead of solid-state, Very tight hysteresis causing frequent switching, Incorrect control mode for type of heating, Relay nearing end of life
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No need to open the thermostat for settings changes.
Steps to troubleshoot:
- Increase the temperature differential/hysteresis in the thermostat settings to reduce switching frequency.
- Change control mode from PWM to simple on/off if recommended for your heating system.
- Consider replacing the thermostat with a Tuya model that uses a solid-state relay (triac) for silent operation, especially for underfloor heating.
- If clicking becomes irregular or accompanied by heating failures, the relay may be failing and the thermostat should be replaced.
