How do you connect this to the Wi-Fi after I connect to the net work, enter the QR code, and other information on the card, the thermostat blinks and says, check owners manual, but there’s nothing to check in the manual, and I am left with a computer telling me it can’t connect on the website to register the device. I can see this company has given zero consideration to any customer with a vision, print or other Disability, who needs to set these up figures they’re probably a rude greedy American company at best.
