    2. Keep holding the buttons for 10 seconds.  

    3.After 10 seconds, rEs will appear on the Amazon thermostat.

Some Common Problems with Amazon Smart Thermostat  

Amazon thermostat Disconnected from Internet. What to do?

At times, disconnected wifi can be the real culprit of an unresponsive Amazon thermostat.

If your Amazon Smart thermostat is disconnected from your Home Wifi, this will cause the smart thermostat to behave like a basic old school thermostat. 

In order to fix this problem, you need to head over to the Alexa app.   

1. Open the Alexa app 
2. Click on devices 
3. Select “Thermostat” and then find and choose Amazon Smart Thermostat from the list that pops up in the Alexa app. 
4. Go to settings 
5. Select thermostat configuration 
6. Choose WiFi and complete the process until your wifi is connected to the Amazon thermostat. 

Sometimes, that’s all you need to make your Amazon thermostat work again and take your commands.  

 

What if the Amazon thermostat’s power goes out? 

 

 Luckily, the Amazon Smart Thermostat has a battery backup system. If the power goes out, the thermostat will use 2 AA batteries to power the thermostat. 

This will enable the thermostat to continue with its basic functionalities. You will be able to adjust the temperature, but you won’t be able to use most of the smart features until power returns. 

As I pro tip, I suggest you to make sure the Amazon smart thermostat is always connected to power, so that the batteries get saved for only emergency cases.

This will enable you to use all the smart features of your Amazon thermostat.  

 

What if there is an issue with the Sensor? 

 Another common reason why your Amazon Smart thermostat is not working normally is that it might have a faulty sensor.  

 In this case you have no option, other than to replace your smart thermostat.
