Thermostat stuck on setup

djsoikkeli — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 23:22:19 GMT

After setting up a new wifi network, and trying to reset the thermostat, it is stuck on

"Continue setup in the Google Home App" in several languages. This is the mirrored face thermostat.

Google home app does not see it, and the capacitive buttons on the side do nothing. Removing batteries also does not do anything, it goes right back to this screen.

@djsoikkeli

Any way that you can set up the old Wifi?

This is the easiest way

@Patrick_Caezza No, unfortunately. A power surge fried my old 802.11n router. The new router/network is a 802.11ac

@djsoikkeli

You don't need your old router, just change the WiFi name and password on your new router to what was on the old router.
