Connecting to WiFi
Before you can register this device, you must first connect it to your WiFi network. WPS is
the simplest way to do this. Alternatively you can use access point mode, which is more
involved.
Before starting, ensure that the Thermostat is connected to your Relay Module. Ensure that
the unit shows a signal strength and that the Relay Module is powered up. If you put the
batteries in the Thermostat before powering the Relay Module, it may take upto 10 minutes
to connect.
You should find a WPS button on your router. If you are unsure where the WPS button is, or if
your router supports this, consult your router manual.
The button or a light on the router will normally flash to indicate that it is in WPS mode. This
will usually timeout after 2 minutes.
With the router in WPS mode, press pairing button (Middle) on the Relay Module, this will
make all 3 lights flash green. Press the middle button again, now just the middle light will
be flashing. Once synced the middle light will turn alternate colours.
Access Point
You should ONLY use this if your router doesn’t support WPS, or if you have tried this several
times and it has failed to connect.
Press pairing button (Middle) on the Relay Module, this will make all 3 lights flash green.
Then press and hold middle button for 5 seconds, all 3 lights should now be solid amber.
Shortly a new open WiFi network will appear called Inspire, connect to this WiFi network,
and browse to http://inspirehomeauto.co.uk
Select your router from the list provided and enter your WiFi password. This can usually be
found on your router.
Click ‘Add’
If this doesn't connect, double check your password and try again. Please note, passwords
are case sensitive.

Establishing Connection
Once the Relay Module is connected to your router, the middle light will flash red, orange
and green while it is establishing a connection with our servers. Once connected, it will
flash orange and green. You can now proceed to the Product Registration section.
Product Registration

setup, an email will be sent to you for account validation. Login to your new account where
it will prompt you to add your new device.
Adding your Device
If your computer or phone is connected to the same network as your Relay Module, this
should be automatically detected. If not, you will need to enter a registration code online.
You need to get this code from your Thermostat.

some bars on your Signal indicator on your Thermostat
2. Ensure the Relay Module is connected to your Router. The middle light should be flashing
orange and green.

Landlord Version
If you have purchased a landlord version you will need to enter your Landlord Code, you will
have received this via an email when you placed your order. You only need this code for your
first unit.
Once enabled, you will be able to remove functions from the Thermostat and restrict the
Temperature range. This is all set up online via the Setup/Locks page.
How you restrict your heating system is up to you, however the idea of the system is to
prevent excessive use such as having the heating switched on 24 hours a day at 30
degrees. NOT to freeze your tenants!
We recommend it is set up as follows.
Speak to your tenants to determine their usual household patterns and set a profile with
suitable morning and evening heating times at a comfortable temperature.
Consider allowing local adjustment of the target temperature by restricting the setpoint. eg
adjust up to a maximum of 24 degrees. If this is used, it is only a temporary adjustment until
the next profile time.
Enable the BOOST facility. eg set it to 21 degrees for 1 or 2 hours. This will allow your
tenants to get heating if they are home early or work from home occasionally.
The above is just an example setup, and your situation will vary. However in our experience,
a setup similar to the above will keep everybody happy. Remember if the heating is too
restrictive, you will continuously get telephone calls from your tenants and / or they may use
electric heaters.
Calendar Version
The calendar version includes all the landlord features but can also be linked to an iCal
calendar. This is configured on the setup page within the web client.
