Troubleshooting

Panel not heating

Ensure the panel is correctly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check the thermostat settings via the app or remote and verify that a heating schedule is active or manual mode is selected.

App not connecting to the panel

Verify your Wi-Fi connection is stable. Ensure the panel is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Try restarting both your router and the heating panel by switching off the power at the mains.
