Possible Causes

Incorrect pairing mode on thermostat, Interference from other 2.4 GHz devices, Faulty Viessmann gateway (e.g. Vitoconnect), Outdated firmware on thermostat or gateway

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Only handle low‑voltage devices and follow manufacturer instructions. Do not open sealed electronic modules.

  • Reset pairing: Put the thermostat into pairing mode as described in the manual (often via a menu option or button combination). Ensure the gateway is also in pairing mode.
  • Reduce interference: Temporarily turn off or move away cordless phones, baby monitors, or other 2.4 GHz devices that may interfere.
  • Check distance: Place the thermostat and gateway within a few meters of each other during pairing.
  • Update firmware: Use the Viessmann app to check for firmware updates for the gateway and thermostat. Apply updates and retry pairing.
  • Factory reset if needed: As a last resort, perform a factory reset on the thermostat and re‑add it to the system, then reconfigure schedules.
