Possible Causes

Contamination from dust or aerosols, Condensation damage, Sensor element aging, Firmware misreading sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not spray cleaners directly onto the thermostat.

  • Clean the vents: Gently vacuum around the thermostat’s ventilation slots to remove dust. Do not insert tools into the vents.
  • Stabilise environment: Avoid placing the thermostat in bathrooms or above kettles where steam is frequent.
  • Reboot and update: Power-cycle the thermostat and check for firmware updates via the Wiser app.
  • Compare with another hygrometer: If readings are clearly wrong and E18 persists, the sensor is likely defective.
  • Resolution: Replace the thermostat; the humidity sensor is integrated and not serviceable.
