Connect TA65 to ThingsBoard¶
This section describes the process of connecting TA65 to ThingsBoard via Wi-Fi. This process applies to all models of thermostats in this series.
Prerequisites. Clear Wi-Fi Configuration¶
Tip
If your TA65 is used for the first time, or your TA65 has never been connected to any Wi-Fi router, you can skip this step.
If your TA65 has been connected to a Wi-Fi router before, when you need to connect to a new Wi-Fi router, you need to clear the Wi-Fi configuration of the TA65 first.
Step 1. Get Access-Token¶
Get a access-token of TA65 from ThingsBoard. See Step 3. Copy credentials of new device.
Step 2. Power On¶
When you first power up, TA65 will enter Wi-Fi AP mode without any Wi-Fi parameters. At this point, you can configure the parameters through the web page.
Tip
TA65 has a different Wi-Fi Hotspot name every time it’s powered on.
Step 3. Configure¶
Connect to TA65’s Wi-Fi hotspot on your computer or phone.
Open your browser, type
http://192.168.4.1
.Input your configuration, then
Apply
.Field Description Wi-Fi SSID SSID of your Wi-Fi router Password password of your Wi-Fi router Auth Token Access Token of your TA65. See Step 1. Get Access-Token Host This ThingsBoard Server’s MQTT URL.It must begin with “MQTT ://”, such asmqtt://192.168.21.222Please replace 192.168.21.222 with your Thingsboard IP Address.If saved successfully, the following will be displayed.
Step 4. Check¶
Check if TA65 is connected to ThingsBoard correctly. If connected correctly, there will be a Wi-Fi icon in the upper right corner of the Thermostat, and the time will no longer be 00:00. If you do not set the Tonezone relationship on ThingsBoard correctly, the time displayed by TA65 may be slightly off.
Troubleshooting¶
Thermostat TA65 cann’t connect to Wi-Fi:
If the Thermostat has never been connected to any Wi-Fi router since leaving the factory, it will enter Soft-AP mode. You can search for Wi-Fi SSID similar to “EasyStat-xxxx” through your mobile phone or computer.
Make sure the Wi-Fi router supports and turns on the 2.4G signal. Currently, some dual-band (2.4G & 5G) Wi-Fi routers can turn off the 2.4G signal. Please turn it on in your router settings.
Make sure your Wi-Fi SSID and Password are correct, and they are related parameters of 2.4G Wi-Fi signal.
Confirm that the Token is normal.
- Confirm that the Token corresponds to the actual model (the Token of TA65-FH-TB can only be connected to the Thermostat of TA65-FH-TB. The same is true for TA65-FC-TB).
- Confirm that the Token did not fail during the copying process.
- Confirm that the Token has no special characters. Token can only contain A-Z, a~z, 0~9. Illegal characters such as “-” will appear in the case of product end. You can edit and get a new Token in Step 1. Get Access-Token.
Confirm that the Host parameter is correct. Host must start with “mqtt://”, followed by IP address or domain name of Thingsboard.
If the above parameters are confirmed to be correct, you can start from Step 2. Power On and try several times.
