Possible Causes
Actual open window or door near thermostat, thermostat installed in draughty location, poorly insulated wall causing rapid temperature swings, overly sensitive open‑window algorithm
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps to manage open‑window detection:
- Check for draughts: Confirm whether a window or door is actually open near the thermostat. Close it if you want normal heating to resume.
- Wait for recovery: The system usually resumes normal operation automatically after a short period once the temperature stabilizes.
- Relocate thermostat: If false detections are frequent, move the thermostat away from direct draughts or poorly insulated external walls.
- Adjust feature (if available): In the app, reduce the sensitivity of open‑window detection or disable the feature if it causes nuisance interruptions.
This is not a hardware fault unless temperature readings are unstable; in that case, check the sensor and installation location.
