FAQs

What is the required output rating for my towel rail?

You should choose a heating element with an output (in Watts) not greater than the Delta 50 value of your heating appliance for safe operation. For this 1000W element, ensure your radiator or towel rail is rated accordingly.

Can I install this myself?

This heating element requires hard-wired installation, which involves direct connection to your home's electrical supply. It is strongly recommended to have a qualified electrician perform the installation to ensure safety and compliance.

What smart home systems is it compatible with?

This Ecoso heating element is compatible with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, allowing for voice control and integration into your smart home ecosystem.

How do I control the heating element remotely?

You can control the heating element remotely using the dedicated ECOSO app, available for download on smart devices. This allows you to adjust settings, set schedules, and monitor its status from anywhere with an internet connection.

What are the different heating modes available?

The ECOSO app offers several programmable settings including Schedule, Eco (energy-saving), Comfort (standard heating), Boost (rapid heating), Dryer (for quick drying of towels), and Anti-freeze (to prevent freezing in low temperatures).

How do I reset the heating element?

To reset the heating element, disconnect the power supply at the circuit breaker or fuse box for at least one minute, then restore power. This can often resolve minor connectivity or operational glitches.

Does it work with a 5GHz WiFi network?

Typically, smart home devices like this operate on a 2.4GHz WiFi band. Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network, or that your router settings allow for compatibility with 2.4GHz devices.

Troubleshooting

Heating element not turning on

Verify that the hard-wired connection is secure and that the circuit breaker is active. Check if the device is properly connected to the WiFi network via the ECOSO app. Ensure the correct mode is selected in the app.

Unable to connect to WiFi

Ensure your WiFi network is functioning correctly and within range. Restart your router and the heating element. Double-check the WiFi password entered in the ECOSO app. Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz network, as 5GHz may not be supported.

App not responding or showing incorrect status

Close and reopen the ECOSO app. Check for app updates. Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection. Try resetting the heating element by turning off the power at the source for a minute, then restoring it.

Heating element is too hot or not hot enough

Adjust the temperature settings via the ECOSO app. Ensure the correct mode (e.g., Comfort, Eco) is selected. Confirm that the element's wattage is appropriate for the size of your radiator or towel rail and that it does not exceed the appliance's Delta 50 rating.
