Setup
Internet Gateway
Plug in the supplied power cable and connect to your router via the network cable.
Pairing and Connecting
This is the process by which the Room Thermostat and the Gateway are programmed to recognise
each other. Your new Room Thermostat should already be paired to your gateway at the factory, so
they should automatically recognise each other and connect.
Power up the gateway and wait until the Power Light is green. Then power up the Room Thermostat.
Within a few seconds, the connection should be established, confirmed by the Radio symbol on the
Room Thermostat and the RF Light on the Gateway switching to green.
If the gateway was switched on after the Room Thermostat, then it may take up to 10 minutes to
establish the connection. If you do not wish to wait this long, reset the Room Thermostat by pressing
and holding all four buttons for 5 seconds. Upon reset, the connection should be made within a few
seconds.
If you have received a replacement unit, an additional unit to create a Multizone setup, or they will
not connect, they will need to be paired. Switch on both units, wait for the Internet Gateway Power
light to go green, then press the Pairing Button on the back of the Gateway. The RF Link light will
begin to flash Amber.
Figure 1: Gateway Box
Next press and hold 'M'and 'S'simultaneously on the Room thermostat for 5 seconds. This will make
a connection icon, located in the bottom left hand corner,flash. This icon will stay on permanently
once a connection has been established.

one Thermostat, once registered, all devices connected to your Internet Gateway should show in
your account.
If you purchased the NS1001 PLUS model or Landlord Model, you should have been emailed an
activation code to unlock the extra functionality. Click the 'Advanced' tab, then scroll down to ‘Unit
Codes’ Copy and paste your activation code here to unlock the extra features.
If you have purchased a zoned Plus/Landlord system, you should have received a code for each
Thermostat. You will need to enter one code for each Thermostat. To switch Thermostats, click the

Boost Mode (Plus & Landlord Versions)
This is used if you would like to switch your heating on for a set period of time. This feature needs to
be enabled in the "Advanced" tab within the web client.
Once enabled, boost is entered by pressing and holding the 'S' button for 3 seconds. The ‘ON; will
flash to show that boost is currently active, and it will switch your heating on for the programmed
length of time, at the programmed Boost Temperature (If set.) After this time has expired, the
function will return to the previous state.
Program advance (Plus & Landlord Plus)
This feature is off by default. To use it, it will need enabling in the "Advanced" tab within the web
client.
If the unit is set up to use Program Timers
Program advance is a way to 'jump' to the next timer switch point. It will only have any affect if the
Thermostat is in timer mode (P1, P2, or both). If the timer is currently not active, pressing the 'M'
key will immediately start the next available timer.
Example, P2 Timer is set from 17:00 to 23:30, at 22 degrees.
You come home early from work at 16:00 and want the heating on. Pressing the 'M' key will
immediately activate timer P2 and it will then run normally and switch off at 23:30. The thermostat
will then resume normal operation.
Example 2, P2 Timer is set from 17:00 to 23:30, at 22 degrees.
It is 23:00 and you decide to go to bed earlier. Pressing the 'M' key will immediately end the current
timer program and switch the heating off. The thermostat will resume normal operation at the next
timer program.
Pressing the 'M' key a 2nd time will cancel the program advance.
If the unit is set up to use Temperature Profiling
Program advance (By pressing the ‘M’ key) is a way to 'jump' to the next Temperature in your
schedule. It will only have any affect if the Thermostat is in profile mode (P1 or P2). Pressing the 'M'
key a 2nd time will cancel the program advance and the unit will revert back to the set temperature
Menu
Note: If you have the plus variant, and program advance is enabled, you will need to hold down the
'M' key for 3 seconds to enter the menu.
The Menu button is used to set the clock and the timer programs. The easiest way to set these is via
the "My Thermostat" page located at https://www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/client/
If you wish to set these up on the Room Thermostat itself, follow the instructions below.
Note Temperature profiling (PLUS Models) Cannot be setup on the unit, and must be done via the
website. Entering the program menu when profiling is enabled, will only allow adjustment of the
clock.

Troubleshooting
The Room
Thermostat display is
blank.
Is the unit in power saving mode? (Set via the advanced tab on the website)
Pressing a key will bring the display back on for the set period of time
Unit Malfunction. Reset the unit by pressing and holding all four buttons for
5 seconds.
Batteries exhausted. Replace the batteries.
Battery polarity wrong. Replace batteries noting the correct battery
orientation (Both batteries have positive towards the top of the Room
Thermostat)
The Thermostat
Display occasionally
dims.
Incorrect batteries installed. Your Room Thermostat should only be used
with Alkaline batteries. Please note that so called “Heavy Duty” batteries
are not alkaline batteries. Also, NiMH or NiCad rechargeable batteries are
not suitable either.
The room thermostat
does not switch the
central heating
on/off.
Is the thermostat calling for heat? Ensure “ON” is displayed and press the
“+” button to make sure that the temperature set point is higher than the
current room temperature.
Battery very low. If the battery symbol is flashing on the display, the
batteries may be too low to function correctly. Replace the batteries.
Does the relay switch? Ensure the set temperature is higher than the room
temperature, then switch the function to “ON” You should hear an audible
click as the Room Thermostat switches on.
Did you hear the click? Yes –The thermostat is working correctly.
With reference to the installation manual, check the wiring is
secure underneath the wiring cover. Also if your boiler has a
programmer, ensure that the central heating is switched to “ON” If
this does not solve the problem, then the fault may lay in the wiring
or the boiler. Contact a heating engineer.
No –Possible faulty connection between the Room Thermostat and
the Wall Mount. With reference to section “Changing the batteries”
Remove the thermostat from the wall mount and carefully replace
it. Then try to switch it on again.
My room thermostat
will not pair, or
repeatedly loses
connection to the
gateway
This is usually caused by interference or distance between the two units.
The connection can be improved by trying the following.
Both units contain a radio aerial. Ensure that there are no metal
objects near the unit.
Do not place the unit on the floor.
Note that your internet router will also most likely contain a radio
transmitter (WiFi) Therefore ensure that your Gateway and
internet router are separated.
Move the Gateway closer to your Room Thermostat.
I cannot connect to
my Thermostat from
my phone / website.
Check the status lights on the gateway box. All three should be green. If the
Room Thermostat or the gateway box has only just been switched on, it can
take a few minutes after all lights go to green, before the website or mobile

app will allow a successful login. If the lights are not all green, then this
indicates a problem.
All three lights out: No Power. Ensure power adapter is fully inserted into
the socket and the socket is switched on. Ensure the dc power plug is fully
inserted into the back of the gateway. Does the socket have power? Check
by plugging in another device.
Power light Amber: This should only happen for a short period at power
up. Wait 30 seconds and this light should now be green. If it is not, try
resetting the gateway by removing power, wait 30 seconds, then apply
power. This should now initialise correctly.
Internet Light Amber: Establishing connection with the server. This should
shortly change to green. If there is no Room Thermostat connected, the
internet light will periodically change to Amber, then back to green.
Internet Light out: No connection to the server. This is usually indicative
that the gateway does not have a valid internet connection. Check that the
network cable is securely connected between the gateway and your
internet router. Check that the router/modem is switched on and
connected to your phone line / Internet connection point. Can other
devices such as your pc connect to the internet?
Internet Light flashing Amber: This is indicative that your gateway Is not
registered with our website. This could also be caused if the Room
Thermostat was inadvertently put into registration mode. Follow the steps
in the section “Registering your Room Thermostat” above to register your
system.
RF Link light out: No pairing information. Refer to section “Pairing and
Connecting” to pair your Room Thermostat with your Gateway.
RF Link Light Amber: No connection to the Room Thermostat. Check that
the Room Thermostat is powered up, the low battery indicator is not
flashing, and that the RF Link on the Thermostat is displayed. Check the
“My Thermostat will not pair or repeatedly loses connection” above for
information on how to improve this.
