Troubleshooting
Radiator not turning on
Check that the power cable is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the main power switch on the unit (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. Verify the thermostat is set to an active mode.
Unable to connect to Wi-Fi
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is operational and within range. Confirm you are using the correct Wi-Fi password. Restart your router and the radiator. Check if the Tuya app is updated to the latest version.
App or voice control not responding
Verify the radiator is still connected to your Wi-Fi network via the Tuya app. Ensure your smart home hub (if used) is powered on and connected. Try unlinking and relinking the device in your voice assistant app.
Radiator not heating effectively
Check the thermostat setting to ensure it is set to a desired temperature. Confirm there are no obstructions blocking the radiator's surface. For smaller rooms, the 0.6kW output might be nearing its limit; consider if the room size is appropriate for the unit's capacity.
Touchscreen is unresponsive
Gently clean the touchscreen with a soft, dry cloth. Try turning the radiator off at the power source for a minute and then turning it back on to reset the unit.
