Thermostat 02907
WiFi thermostat (802.11 b/g/n, 2.4GHz), wall-mounting, mains-powered (230 V~), with interface with capacitive keys and equipped with user-friendly functions to facilitate energy saving. Designed to control heating and air-conditioning via C, NC, NO relay output. Equipped with an input for an external temperature sensor (not supplied) that can be used for monitoring, control or limitation. Built-in buzzer. WiFi connectivity lets you control/consult the device remotely, directly from your smartphone or tablet.
Field of application
The appliance is designed to control room temperature by acting on the control circuit of the burner or circulation pump (heating) or on the control circuit of the air conditioner (air conditioning), ensuring an ideal temperature. The graphical user interface, thanks to special views, facilitates system management helping the user to operate while maintaining a state of energy saving.

Installation

The appliance must be installed on a wall at a height of 1.5 m off the floor in a suitable position for correctly detecting the ambient temperature. It must not be installed in niches, behind doors and curtains or in areas affected by sources of heat or atmospheric factors. The thermostat is a wall-mounting device that can be installed directly on a wall or on 2 and 3-module back boxes. It should be used in dry, dust-free places at a temperature between 0°C and +40°C.

Connections

Relay connection

External temperature probe
Depending on how it is configured, the external temperature probe can be used to accomplish several functions; it does NOT have polarity so you can connect the 2 wires in the 2 terminals without any particular order. It is recommended to use the NTC 10k beta 3900 probes (art. 02965.1-20432-19432-14432). The typical wiring diagram is the following:

Installation examples

IMPORTANT: During installation, take care not to damage the insulation of the probe while laying the screed. Perform the installation in such a way that the probe is accessible for any maintenance work.

Switching on and resetting parameters
When switching on, in the first 3 seconds of power-up the thermostat displays the firmware version.

If in this phase you touch the icon, a screen appears on the display where you can reset the device parameters:

By confirming with, ALL the device parameters (temperature setpoint, heating/air-conditioning mode, a unit of measurement, etc.) and ALL WiFi function settings (phone numbers, SMS, etc.) will be restored to the default values.
WARNING This operation is not undoable. If you wish to reset only the WiFi settings, refer to paragraph 9.3.

Configuration via WiFi interface
The thermostat 02907 features a WiFi interface that lets you configure and control your device remotely. To function correctly, the WiFi interface must be properly configured by performing the first configuration procedure described in the next paragraph (6.1).

First Configuration

• First, identify the make and model of the client Gateway/Router and keep a note of them as a reference for any official Vimar support (use the specific table in section 17).
• If there is already an Internet connection at the site of installation, make sure the Gateway/Router has been turned on for at least 2 minutes and is connected to the Internet.
• Make sure the thermostat is installed at a reasonable distance (from the router), where the signal is strong enough.
• Activate configuration mode; in this phase the thermostat acts as an access point, generating a specific temporary WiFi network for the configuration with no need for an Internet connection.

Activating configuration mode

1. On the main screen, access the Settings menu by tapping the icon.
2. Using and scroll through the list of options until you see

Confirm by touching
Check that the “OnOF” option is set to “On”; the display must show the following screen exactly (“OnOF” flashes and “On” is on steady):

Otherwise, enter the “OnOF” menu by tapping; “ON” or “OFF” will begin to flash.
Using and select “ON” and confirm by tapping.
Using and scroll through the list of options until you see the “Conf” screen

Confirm by touching
The display will show “Strt”

Confirm by touching

The cursor will move from left to right; the icon will blink for a few seconds and will be fixed once the access point is active. The thermostat is then ready to be configured via the Byclima App. From this point onwards, the configuration will continue directly via the mobile device (e.g. smartphone) through the Byclima App (see par. 6.1.2). If necessary, the configuration procedure can be interrupted at any time by one of the following options:

• tapping
• closing the Byclima App
• when the mobile device (e.g. smartphone) goes into standby.

Configuring the thermostat with the Byclima App

• Pick up the mobile device on which is installed the Byclima App updated to the latest version.
• Stand in front of the thermostat.
• On the device, enable the WiFi interface and scan for available networks.
• Connect the mobile device to the WiFi network generated by the thermostat 02907.
• The login credentials of the WiFi network generated by the thermostat are printed on the label visible on the device when the front panel is unhooked:

SSID	VIMAR02907_snXXXXXX
Security	WPA
Password	administrator

IMPORTANT: SSID is the name of the network to which you need to connect your mobile device. The name is composed of a fixed string “VIMAR02907” and a variable portion of 6 hexadecimal characters indicating the serial number of the device you want to configure (see the example in figures 6 and 7):

1. Launch the Byclima App on a mobile device.
2. Add a new device by tapping “ + “
3. Select the “Configure a new Thermostat” procedure
4. The procedure will start searching for a new thermostat.
5. After identifying the thermostat, the Byclima App will require you to enter the current PIN (which by default is 1234) and possibly a new custom PIN.
6. After entering the current PIN, touch to proceed with the guided configuration and follow the instructions displayed directly by the App.

CAUTION: At the end of the first configuration procedure, the thermostat and the mobile device with which you performed the procedure will be paired. The thermostat 02907 can then be controlled (via WiFi) only by the mobile device with which it was configured. If you wish to control the 02907 also with other devices then you need to carry out the pairing procedure for additional devices described in paragraph 6.4.

Configuring the temperature control parameters and using the device
If your mobile device has been properly paired with the thermostat, you can set the temperature control parameters (temperature profiles, setpoint, etc.); the Byclima App clearly displays all the instructions in a user-friendly manner for making the desired settings. After these settings, send the configuration to the thermostat or proceed to configure the network parameters as shown in the next paragraph (6.3).

Configuring the WiFi network and cloud services
The network parameters should be configured during initial installation and/or if you change the network credentials with which the thermostat connects to your home WiFi.
Using the Byclima App, you enter the section shown in the figure on the next page and proceed by entering the parameters with which the thermostat will connect to your home WiFi network (network name, password, address assignment method, etc.).

To enter the parameters follow the guided procedure displayed by the By clima app. After making the settings, the thermostat will automatically reboot the network interface and, with a specific icon as shown below, it will show the state of its connection to the WiFi network:

absent: WiFi antenna of the thermostat off (to turn the WiFi interface on or off, see par. 9.3.1)  blinking: thermostat connecting or not connected to the local WiFi network (if prolonged it indicates a possible error in entering the password/network name or no WiFi router signal). (bars from 1 to 4): thermostat properly connected to the WiFi network and its signal strength.In addition to configuring your home network, you can also specify whether you want to take advantage of the Vimar cloud service.

Cloud Service

Vimar lets users easily access their thermostats from all over the world over the Internet thanks to its cloud service.
This service enables:

• Fully controlling your thermostat from all over the world.
• Receiving notifications from your thermostat directly on your mobile device.
• Updating the thermostat software.
• Save all the thermostat settings should you need to replace it. Registration with the Vimar cloud is automatic and is linked to the thermostat (creating a user is not required: no login). By pairing a mobile device with the thermostat, the smartphone/tablet is merged (at the logic level) with the registration of the thermostat in the cloud (see par. 6.2).

Use without the cloud
If you do not wish to register on the cloud, the thermostat can still be set to run without the cloud (for example, only via a local WiFi network without the Internet). Not activating the cloud will prevent you from doing the following:

• Operating the device over the Internet (control only within the local WiFi network)
• Receiving software updates
• Receiving notifications from your thermostat on your mobile device
• Save all the thermostat settings should you need to replace it.
  NOTE: We recommend the installer keep the thermostat in this operating mode and let the customer choose whether to use the Vimar cloud.

Pairing additional mobile devices with the thermostat

The thermostat 02907 can be controlled only with mobile devices that have been paired with the first configuration or pairing procedure. A new mobile device (on which the Byclima App has previously been installed) can be paired at any time by using the Byclima App on the mobile device itself but only by also interacting with the local interface of the thermostat and within the same WiFi network (you cannot pair mobile devices remotely/ over the Internet). When pairing, you are prompted to enter a 4-digit PIN code to pair the mobile device with the thermostat, which can only be controlled if:

• the mobile device is paired with the thermostat;
• the PIN code of the mobile device and that of the thermostat coincide.
• If you change the PIN of the thermostat but not that of the tablet/smartphone, the mobile device (which is still set to the old PIN) will no longer be able to manage the thermostat; it will then be necessary to update the PIN of the tablet/smartphone device(s).
  CAUTION:
• The PIN for accessing the thermostat 02907 from your mobile device can only be changed with the Bclima App.
• The PIN code is very important because it protects the thermostat from previously paired mobile devices too (eg that of the installer). The end user is advised to change the default PIN code so as to disable control of the device from all smartphones/tablets (even if already paired with the device) that do not have the updated PIN code.

Display
The touchscreen display allows you to control the system using the following buttons and icons:

• WiFi radio signal strength indicator
• Operating mode
• Away
• Confirm
• Menu navigation and setting parameters G: Back
• Settings menu
• AUTO program temperature trends

N.B. The field/value being edited is highlighted by the field/value itself flashing.

Symbols
Depending on the different operating modes, the display shows the following icons:

Standby
If no operations are carried out on the device for 30 seconds, it automatically activates standby mode which lowers the brightness level of the device.

Locking the interface via PIN (set by the App)
The thermostat lets you set a password that inhibits any change to the operating mode (eg switching from Manual to OFF), limits setting the temperature values, and, more generally, blocks access to the
configuration menu. This feature is useful to prevent the thermostat from being used by unauthorized persons; the device prompts you to enter the PIN, indicating a shutdown with the PIN.

Alternative views
During normal operation, i.e. when you are not navigating the menus, you can select the information to display on the left-hand side of the display.

This view is the default and gives an indication of the daily temperature control program along with the data on the current moment. The program area, represented by histograms, is divided into 24 sectors each of which represents the corresponding hour of the 24 hours in a day. Each sector can be composed of 1, 2 or 3 dashes:

The clock shows the current time. The indicator of the day of the week highlights the current day with a dash under the number associated with it (eg, 4 = Thursday). The set temperature indicator highlights the current temperature being regulated thus replicating the information represented by the “dashes”:

The energy saving indicator indicates whether, compared to a conventional average consumption, the set temperature setpoint enables you to achieve “savings” in consumption. If the operating mode is not set on AUTO, the program area will not be active.

Operating mode

The thermostat 02907 is able to regulate the temperature according to the following operating modes:

• Switched off (OFF): switches the system off
• Manual (ON): lets you set the environment temperature set-point manually
• AUTO: lets you set a control program that compares the room temperature with the value set for each quarter of an hour of the current day; the user defines three levels of temperature distributed over 24 hours which can then be varied for each day of the week. Timed manual: starting from AUTO mode, this lets you activate MANUAL operation of the thermostat for
  any period of time at the end of which the device will return to AUTO mode.
• Away: lets you set the set-point in order to achieve significant energy savings during periods when the user is away
• Antifreeze: used to set a minimum temperature level to avoid damage to pipework or prevent the temperature from falling below a safety level.
• The operating mode is selected via the SETTINGS menu or with the shortcut keys.

Switched off (OFF)
With this mode on, the thermostat is turned off and you cannot make any adjustments; in this case, the icon is displayed above the temperature indicator. In this mode you cannot perform any operations other than activating the menus or changing the view mode.

For heating-only systems this mode is typically used in the summer
