POSSIBLE CAUSE
Too many networks appearing in the list while setting it up, or your router
has been set to hide your network.
SOLUTION
Select “Other”, and enter name manually.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Router does not support the required Wi-Fi specification.
SOLUTION
The thermostat uses the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency
(Standard IEEE 802.11 b/g/n). Ensure your router supports it.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Thermostat is too far from router and the Wi-Fi signals are too weak.
SOLUTION
Confirm by trying to connect to Wi-Fi with your smartphone at the
thermostat’s location. If the signals are too weak, change the location of
your Wi-Fi router, or install a Wi-Fi repeater at a location between the router
and the thermostat, or it may be that the router has a problem.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Your Wi-Fi router has insufficient security.
SOLUTION
Wi-Fi routers utilize two main types of protective encryption: WEP and
WPA. WEP is the original form of encryption, and it offers very little
security. Hackers can very easily break into your wireless network if your
router is set up for WEP encryption. WEP encryption was replaced with
WPA encryption in 1999 and WPA2 in 2006. WPA is a security protocol
that makes it much more difficult to break into networks. For optimum
security and for protecting your network, your Schluter-DITRA-HEAT-E-
RS1 thermostat currently supports WPA and WPA2 encryption only. If
your router was manufactured after 2003, you should be able to change
the setting from WEP to WPA by following the guide in the link: (http://
www.tech-faq.com/how-to-change-wep-to-wpa.html). Your Schluter-
DITRA-HEAT-E-RS1 thermostat can still control your floor heating system
without wireless network connection. As the best course of action, it is
recommended that you upgrade your security settings to properly protect
your network from hackers.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Good signal but can’t connect due to too many devices connected to
the Internet by the router.
SOLUTION
The problem might be with your router (even if your other wireless
devices are still connected). A simple restart of the router will usually
resolve such problems. While most routers simply have to be unplugged
and then plugged back into their power source to restart them, you
should refer to your routers documentation for specific instructions.

SOLUTION
Contact your ISP or the router manufacturer website for downloads and
for instructions on how to update the firmware.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Other devices are interfering with the wireless signal.

Your DITRA-HEAT-E-RS1 thermostat needs a reset with the router.
SOLUTION
Reset your Schluter-DITRA-HEAT-E-RS1 thermostat by pressing both
arrows simultaneously on the thermostat and re-connect it to the
app on your smartphone. Make sure beforehand that your phone is
connected to your router Wi-Fi.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The thermostat is ‘Offline’.
SOLUTION
The Schluter-DITRA-HEAT-E-RS1 thermostat server may be offline for
service, or there may be a poor internet connection. Re-try registering the
thermostat at a later time.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Thermostat is not in access point.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
The thermostat has not been set
to “Automatic”.
SOLUTION
Set the thermostat to
“Automatic”.
PAUSIBLE CAUSE
Someone has manually changed
the setpoint on the thermostat.
SOLUTION
The app should display the mode
as “Auto Bypass”. When the next
programmed period begins, the
manual setpoint will be overridden.
The user can cancel the bypass
by putting the thermostat back in
“Automatic” mode.
The thermostat is heating above/below the target floor

SOLUTION
It will take 3-5 days of uninterrupted heating/cooling for the thermostat

performing as desired after several days, please contact the Customer
Support Team at 800-472-4588 (US) or 800-667-8746 (Canada).
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Thermostat has been recently installed and not enough time has passed
for the thermostat to learn the floors heating/cooling characteristics.

The display temperature on the thermostat does
not match the measured floor or ambient room
temperature
POSSIBLE CAUSE
In the case of the floor temperature control, there are two possibilities:
1) The instrument used to make the measurement may not be accurate.
Non-contact infrared temperature measuring instruments are generally
not accurate for this type of measurement, as they require special
adjustments to make them accurate.
2) The floor temperature sensor may be located too close to the heating
cable, or too far from it, relative to the general cable spacing in the
room.
SOLUTION
To troubleshoot the floor:
Either use a (1) non-contact infrared instrument which has been adjusted
and calibrated for the application or (2) use a calibrated instrument which
uses a small contact sensor and tape the sensor to the floor in between
cable runs to obtain a new temperature measurement. If it is determined
through this testing that the installed sensor under the floor covering is
indeed too close or too far from the heating cable, use the “OFFSET”
feature in the app to adjust the temperature indication.

SOLUTION
Relocate the thermostat to a different location or use the “OFFSET”
feature in the app to adjust the ambient temperature indication.
If the solutions listed do not resolve the issue, please contact the
Customer Support Team at 800-472-4588 (US) or
800-667-8746 (Canada).
POSSIBLE CAUSE
In the case of the ambient temperature control, it could be that the
thermostat is located where the sun is shining on it for long periods, or
where the wall is poorly insulated and cold relative to the other walls.

Q: What temperature will my heated floor reach?
A: Floor temperature can reach 75 - 97ºF (24 - 36ºC) depending on the
type of sub-floor and floor covering, but the normal comfortable range
is 77 - 84ºF (25 - 29ºC)
Q: Why is the “Away” set point activated on the thermostat with
an airplane icon when the Schluter Smart Thermostat app
home page shows “Home” and I have not left home nor set the
thermostat to “Away”?
A: Only one account can control Geofencing at a time. This happens
in situations when more than one smart phone is connected and
the primary smart phone that controls the Geofencing feature is
out of range. Should you wish to access control while the primary
smart phone is out of range, simply log into the account, head to the
Geofencing section and press “Replace device”.
Q: What is Frost Safe mode?
A: Frost Safe mode prevents the floor temperature from falling below the
“Min. Floor Temperature” setpoint that is selected in “Advanced Device
Settings”.
Q: I am experiencing internet and cell phone connectivity issues.
Can I unlock the keyboard even if I do not have access to the
Schluter Smart Thermostat app?
A: Yes. You can unlock the keyboard when the thermostat is in an
unlocked state. To achieve an unlocked state, unplug your router, and
power cycle the thermostat. You will be able to access the thermostat
buttons, including factory reset. Alternately, you can simply unplug the
Wi-Fi router and power cycle the thermostat to initiate a factory reset

Q: When I switch to either “Control Mode” or “Max. Floor
Temperature” on the thermostat, I do not see this change
reflected in the Schluter Smart Thermostat app.
A: These changes require a reinitialization of the app. Going back to the
thermostat main page or to “Home” will reinitialize the Schluter Smart
Thermostat app and update the settings.
Q: I changed the temperature unit from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C)
on the thermostat, however, the Schluter Smart Thermostat app
is still displaying the temperature in Fahrenheit (F). Why are the
temperature units not syncing between the thermostat and the
app?
A: Settings such as temperature unit (°F or °C), time (12- or 24-hour
clock), and language (English or French) are not synced between the
Device and the Account. To set preferential settings in the Schluter
Smart Thermostat app, you will need to make and save changes under
the Device section and the Account section, separately.
