🧱 Physical Thermostat: What the Lights and Display Mean

The eWeLink thermostat gives you clear indicators on the screen to let you know what it’s doing.

🔴 Heating Mode (Physical: On - Heating)

When the thermostat is actively calling for heat:

• A heating icon (usually a flame or waves) lights up.
• The relay click might be audible.
• The display may show something like HEAT or ON, depending on the model.
• The set temperature is usually higher than the current room temperature.

✅ What this means: Your heating system is running—radiators warming up, boiler active.

---

🌙 Idle Mode (Physical: On - Auto/Idle)

When the thermostat is on but not heating at the moment:

• The screen is still active.
• No heating icon is shown.
• You’ll see the current temperature and target temperature.
• Relay is off; no sound or heat being produced.

✅ What this means: Thermostat is monitoring temps and will turn the heat on if needed.
