I'm having trouble with the Resideo App on my iPhone IOS 14.2

Last updated

Notice for users running IOS 14.2

Issue: Users who try to install a Smart Round, T5, T6 Pro, T6 or T6R thermostat using a mobile/tablet running 14.2 IOS will not be able to complete device installation using Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC) mode. Users running IOS 14.2 with these thermostats already installed are not impacted; remote access will continue to work as normal.

Fix ETA: This is a generic issue with IOS 14.2, impacting all devices that connect/register using WAC mode. A resolution is being actively worked on by Apple, but a release schedule has not been shared as of yet.

For the interim, users are advised to opt for ONE of the following:

  • Setup/Register the thermostat using an Apple phone/tablet running 14.1 or lower
  • Setup/Register the thermostat using an Android phone
  • Follow the below workaround
