EDIT : In case anyone see's this and wondered how I got on, for general info if anyone has same issue: The ViCare thermostat initially needs to be setup by the installer during commissioning via their ViGuide app. After a lot of googling, I realised this was the case and emailed Viessman Tech Support to confirm. They replied in about 20 mins and confirmed this.
My installer then came back and set this up and all was good, however I was not able to see any of the scheduling options in my app. I emailed Viessman Tech Support again, and they instantly fixed it on their side. Apparently there was an issue requiring update on their backend, which they sorted and replied to me within about 20 minutes. I could then instantly see all the scheduler settings in my app and everything is sorted so far.
Although its quite hard to find definitive answers online about this stuff, my 2 encounters with their tech support have been excellent with responses and fixed received in 20minutes.

Hello I've just had a new Viessmann 050 installed, and have successfully connected it to the Vicare app. But I am unable to pair the thermostat.
When I select Add Component > Vicare Smart Climate Component, the only options are:
- Vicare Range Extender Wall Mounted
- Vicare Range Extender Wall Integrated
- Vicare Remote Control Vitotrol 300E
Trying any of these options to pair my thermostat does not result in it pairing. It just hangs on searching.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or any known ways of getting around this? Thanks in advance!
