How to Connect Your Amana Smart Thermostat to Wi-Fi and the SkyportHome App

At a Glance

Step-by-Step: Wi-Fi and App Setup

Stand at the thermostat with your phone and your Wi-Fi password.

Step 1

Check your router first

The thermostat needs a password-protected home network. It works with 5 GHz routers as long as the router also supports 2.4 GHz. Have the network name and password ready.

Step 2

Open the thermostat settings

On the home screen, tap the menu icon in the top left corner, then choose Settings.

Step 3

Turn on Wi-Fi

Tap Wi-Fi and make sure the Use Wi-Fi box is checked.

Step 4

Choose your network

Tap Networks, pick your home network from the list and enter the password when asked. If your network is not listed, search again, and move the router closer if the signal is weak.

Step 5

Confirm the connection

A status screen shows when the thermostat has an internet connection and a cloud connection. If it reaches the internet but not the cloud, restart the thermostat. Our restart guide shows how.

Step 6

Get your pairing code

Go back to Settings and tap Account. The thermostat shows a code. The code expires after 15 minutes, and you can ask for a new one at any time.

Step 7

Set up the SkyportHome app

Download SkyportHome from the App Store or Google Play and create an account. Add your home location when the app asks, then enter the code from the thermostat.

Step 8

Test it

Change the temperature in the app and watch the thermostat respond. Give the thermostat a room name so it is easy to find, especially if you add voice control later.

Tips for a Good Connection

• Set the thermostat up on your regular home network, not a guest or public network that needs a sign-in page.
• If you changed your router or Wi-Fi password, repeat steps 3 and 4 to join again.
• The Amana Home and Daikin One Home apps were merged into SkyportHome, so use SkyportHome for new setups.
• After it is online the thermostat can install software updates on its own.
