Ensure that the flush-mounted box provides the required space for the room thermostat.

The installation of the Underfloor-heating room thermostat 230V may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. This ensures the safety and correct function of the device.

Summary:

Check the depth of the flush-mounted box. It should ideally be 50 mm deep.

If the depth is only 40 mm or less, contact a qualified electrician to deepen the box or to find another solution.

Have the installation of the room thermostat carried out by a qualified electrician.

By adhering to these requirements and standards, you ensure that your underfloor-heating room thermostat is correctly installed and functional.

Number of devices that can be connected to a room thermostat

A room thermostat can control up to6 devicesdirectly. This includes radiator thermostats or intermediate plugs. Here is the most important information about connection and control:

Connection options

Maximum number:You can pair up to 6 devices directly with a room thermostat.

Overview: On the device configuration page of the room thermostat, you will see an overview of all connected devices.

What happens with more than 6 devices?

Excess devices:Radiator thermostats that are not directly connected to the room thermostat regulate the temperature independently. They use their own temperature measurement.

Target temperature: The target temperature is still sent from the Smart Home Controller to all devices, so that devices that are not directly paired can also set the desired temperature.

Summary

A room thermostat can directly control up to 6 devices. The excess radiator thermostats are controlled as if there were no room thermostat in the corresponding room.

Battery life of the room thermostat

The batteries of the room thermostat have a typical lifespan of at least1 yearunder normal use. Here is the most important information about battery warning and replacement:

Low battery capacity warning

App notification: The Bosch Smart Home App informs you early when the battery capacity drops below a critical level.
