Is the Wi-Fi thermostat included?

No, the Wi-Fi thermostat is an optional extra and needs to be purchased separately to enable smart home control and app integration.

Troubleshooting

Towel rail not heating (Central Heating mode)

Check if the central heating system is operational. Ensure radiator valves are open and there is adequate water pressure. Bleed the radiator if necessary.

Towel rail not heating (Electric mode)

Verify the electric heating element is securely fitted. Check the power supply to the element and ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. If using a thermostat, check its settings and power.

Wi-Fi thermostat not connecting

Ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and within range. Restart the thermostat and your router. Check the Smart Life app for troubleshooting steps or contact support.

Leakage from connections

Turn off the water supply (for central heating) or power (for electric). Tighten fittings carefully. If the leak persists, professional plumbing advice may be required.
