What type of heating systems is the Elektra ELR30 compatible with?
The Elektra ELR30 is specifically designed for electric underfloor heating systems. It is not intended for use with other types of heating systems like central heating or radiators.
Can I control the thermostat when I'm away from home?
Yes, with a stable WiFi connection, you can control and monitor your heating system remotely using the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app on your smartphone, regardless of your location.
How do I set a custom heating schedule?
You can set a custom schedule with up to 4 events per day either directly through the thermostat's LCD interface or more conveniently via the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app. The app provides a user-friendly way to define different temperature settings for various times of the day.
What are the different sensor options available?
The ELR30 supports three temperature sensing modes: an internal air sensor, an external floor sensor, and a combined mode that uses both an air sensor and a floor sensor with a limitation setting for the floor temperature.
Does the thermostat have a backup battery?
The product description does not mention a backup battery. It relies on the main power supply. In case of a power outage, the settings will be lost unless they are saved in the app and can be re-synced.
How often should I clean the thermostat?
It is recommended to clean the exterior of the thermostat with a soft, dry cloth periodically, or whenever you notice dust accumulation, to maintain its appearance and ensure proper ventilation.

The Elektra ELR30 meets EN 60730-1 and EN 60730-2-9 standards, which relate to the safety and performance of automatic electrical controls for household and similar equipment.
Troubleshooting
Thermostat not turning on
Verify that the power supply is correctly connected and that the circuit breaker is active. Ensure the thermostat is properly seated in its base.
Unable to connect to WiFi
Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz. Check that the WiFi password entered is correct. Restart your router and the thermostat. Move the thermostat closer to the router during setup.

Temperature readings seem inaccurate
Confirm the correct sensor type (air or floor) is selected in the settings. Ensure the floor sensor is correctly installed and positioned. Allow time for the sensor to acclimate to the environment after installation.
