Router rebooted or changed SSID/password, weak Wi-Fi signal at the thermostat, router blocking outbound connections for Sensi cloud, thermostat Wi-Fi module intermittent failure.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No high-voltage work is required. Do not open HVAC panels for this issue.
Steps to restore connection:
- Verify internet access: Confirm that other devices on the same Wi-Fi network have internet access.
- Check SSID and password: If you recently changed your Wi-Fi name or password, use the Sensi app to reconnect the thermostat to the updated network.
- Improve signal: Move the router closer, adjust its orientation, or add a Wi-Fi extender to improve signal strength at the thermostat's location.
- Rejoin network: On the thermostat or in the app, select the option to reconnect or change the Wi-Fi network. Follow the pairing instructions carefully.
- Reboot router and thermostat: Power cycle the router and modem. Remove the thermostat from the wall for 30 seconds, then reattach it and retry the connection.
When to replace: If multiple known-good networks fail and the Wi-Fi icon never goes solid, the Wi-Fi module may be failing, requiring thermostat replacement.
