Recommendations

Place the Access Point in a central location, away from large metal objects and other sources of radio interference, to optimise RF range. For reliable performance, ensure good Wi‑Fi or wired network access for the paired router and keep firmware up to date via the app. Use time-controlled heating schedules or automation scenarios in the app to combine radiator thermostats, sensors and actuators for efficient climate control and energy savings.
