Possible Causes

Drifted NTC sensor, Thermostat installed near heat/cold source, Draughts through wall box, Firmware calibration error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No mains work is required.

  • Verify with thermometer: Measure room temperature with a reliable thermometer to confirm the discrepancy.
  • Relocate thermostat: If installed above a radiator, near a window, or on an external wall, move it to an internal wall away from direct heat/cold and draughts.
  • Apply offset: Many Worcester Bosch smart thermostats allow a temperature offset in settings. Adjust by the measured difference.
  • If reading is unstable or extreme: The sensor may be failing; replacement of the thermostat is usually required.
