How to Change WiFi on Wyze Thermostat
Changing the WiFi network on the Wyze thermostat is not as straightforward a process as you’d expect from a smart home device.
If you want to change your Wyze thermostat to a new WiFi, you’ll have to reset it and then set it up again in the app with the new WiFi. What does this mean? It means whenever your router information changes, you’ll need to reset the thermostat and set it up again.
Luckily, the steps to reset and set up the Wyze thermostat are easy as long as the thermostat is already installed. Follow the steps below to change the WiFi on your Wyze thermostat:
- First, press and hold the control wheel for 10 seconds to reset the thermostat.
- Next, open the Wyze app on your smartphone.
- On the Home screen, tap on the plus icon, and then tap Add Device.
- Tap Home.
- Select Wyze Thermostat.
- Tap Begin Preparation. Don’t worry about the 30-minute estimate, as this process will only take 3 minutes.
- Tap Begin. Don’t turn off the power, and tap Next.
- You already have your Wyze thermostat installed, so skip the steps and continue to select no to the “Do you have a high voltage system?” This is because most have a forced air system, which is not usually high voltage.
- Select the terminals that have wires connected.
- Make sure you have enabled Bluetooth on your smartphone.
- The Wyze app will automatically search for and pair with your Wyze Thermostat.
- Once they’re paired, you’ll need to select your Wi-Fi network and enter your password.
- Once you’re connected, name your thermostat and begin customizing your settings.
Fortunately, the Wyze app is easy to navigate and provides instructions to complete each step. While following these steps, make sure your phone is close to the thermostat and your WiFi network is on the 2.4 GHz band.
