Step 3A Connect your Thermostat to your phone’s Wi-Fi signal (EZ distribution mode)
1. Go to your Wi-Fi setting on your phone and make sure you are connected via 2.4g and not 5g. Most modern
routers have 2.4g & 5g connection. 5g connections do not work with the thermostat.
2. On the phone press "Add Device" or " +" in the upper right corner of the app to add the device (Fig 3-1).
Under the small appliance section select the device type "Heating Thermostat" (Fig 3-2). Agree to Smart
RM having access to the device (Fig 3-3). Your phone should now show a screen similar to Fig 3-4.
3. With the thermostat switched on, press and hold button and button at the same time until both
icons ( & ) flash to indicate the EZ distribution mode (Fig 3-4). This can take between 5-20 seconds.
4. On your thermostat, confirm icons are rapidly blinking and then go back and confirm this on your
app. Tick the circle next to “Confirm indicator icon rapidly blink” and press “Next” (Fig 3-4). Enter the
password of your wireless router (this is case sensitive) and confirm. The app will connect automatically
(Fig 3-6 & 3-7). This may typically take up to 5 - 90 seconds to complete.
If you get an error message, make sure you have entered your correct Wi-Fi password (case sensitive any
typically found on the back / bottom of your router) and that you are not on your Wi-Fi’s 5G connection. If
this fails, try the alternative pairing method (AP Paring) on the next page.

2. CHANGING SENSOR TYPE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS.
Press the setting key (Fig 4-7) in the bottom right-hand corner to bring up the menu. Click the Sensor type
option and enter password (pre-set 123456). You will then be given 3 options:-
(1) “Single built-in sensor” Thermostat will only use the internal air sensor (DO NOT use this setting if you are
using the thermostat to control underfloor heating*).
(2) “Single external sensor” Thermostat will only use the external sensor or floor probe (ideal for bathrooms
where thermostat is installed outside the room).
(3) “Internal and external sensors” will use both sensors to read the temperature (Use for underfloor heating).
Once you have chosen the sensor type, check that “High Temp Protection” option is set to a suitable temperature
for your flooring (typically 27°C).
*A floor probe must always be used with electric underfloor heating to protect the flooring.

Press the setting key (Fig 4-7) in the bottom right-hand corner to bring up the menu. At the bottom of the

allows you to choose the number of days the schedule applies to between 5+2 (Weekday + Weekend) 6+1 (Mon
– Sat + Sun) or 7 days (all week).
“Weekly program” setting allows you to choose the time and temperature of your daily schedule at varying points.
