INTRODUCTION COMET WIFI

Thank you for choosing a product from Eurotronic Technology GmbH. This device can easily adjust the temperature in your rooms according to your wishes and helps you to effectively reduce your heating costs.
Development and production are 100% “Made in Germany“, which guarantees the highest quality and technology. These operating instructions will help you to put your device into operation quickly and easily.

THIS IS COMET WIFI

Comet WiFi is an energy-saving controller for radiators equipped with the WiFi radio standard, with modern and simple operation. It automatically regulates your room temperature according to your specifications and is configurable, directly on the controller or conveniently via smartphone via your WiFi network.

CONTROL AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS

Button in the battery compartment for performing the factory reset or activating the pairing mode:

NOTE: The first model series has a lower reset button that is operated with the supplied tool.

INSTALLATION AND START-UP

The following explanations describe the procedure using an Android app (app version: 1.2) and may differ slightly for Apple. In addition, the screenshots shown may differ from newer app versions.

DOWNLOAD APP

Download the “WiFi Smart Living“ app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

CREATE USER ACCOUNT

1. Create a user account. Enter your email and choose a password.
   Note: Make sure you enter a valid email address. The app does not check the validity of the email.
2. Accept our terms and conditions and privacy policy.
3. Click on the “Create new account“ button.
4. You will now receive an e-mail Pin for verification. Check also your spam folder.
5. Enter the pin you received by email, in the field.
