Drayton Wiser Smart Heating Radiator Thermostat Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT

Product Information

With the standard kit, you get two TRVs and one room thermostat. If you start with this, you can put the TRVs into your most heavily used rooms for individual control, and the room thermostat elsewhere in the house to control everything else. It’s also worth making sure that the householder understands that altering the temperature on a room thermostat will only be effective if a programmer has set the heating to be on. If the homeowner wants the heating on when the programmer has it set to be off, they need to understand they have three options: Smart radiator valves are great if you want complete control and transparency over how much you're using your heating. Wireless programmable room thermostats are easy to install, and most installers only need help with commissioning the system. First, remove the batteries from the transmitter unit and allow the screen to go blank.

David concludes: “Right now, we’re all working towards a net-zero future and looking for ways to save money on our energy costs. Our new auto-balancing TRVs are a simple and low-cost option that can offer a permanent and effective solution”. Heat Pumps are also supported and selectable in the app as the available heat source. Underfloor heating is also supported: wet systems need the Underfloor Heating Controller; electric systems can use the Drayton Wiser Eletrical Heat Switch. You can easily set up heating schedules. For example, the heating can be turned off in all the rooms but the office during the day, and then be turned on low in the bedrooms and higher in the living room during the evening.Yes! A room thermostat is an important component in controlling your heating to optimise the efficiency of your system and comply with the requirements of Boiler Plus. There’s also a two-channel kit, which adds hot water control into the mix for conventional boilers. If you have a home with a hot water cylinder, then you need this version. The target drop in temperature from the flow to the return pipe is 11˚C. If the temperature is different you need to adjust the flow rate, dropping it to increase the temperature drop and vice versa.

Regular Updates: Our recommendations stay current with any changes in product performance or availability. This means you can remotely set the thermostat and smart radiator valves temperatures. You can even set the exact temperature with smart radiator valves, instead of the 'rough' temperature as you do with thermostatic radiator valves.

The miGenie gateway is designed to be placed on a flat surface and should be located next to the customer’s internet router. You can also set the temperature of each room using the thermostatic radiator valves. In the diagram below: If you have a regular schedule, you may well benefit from being able to program a heating schedule. What are smart radiator valves? Can they work with your current heating controls? How much are smart TRVs? The red LED light will flash for approximately 7 seconds to tell you that the two units are initialising. This confirms that the radio signal is being sent and received.

I slightly prefer the Tado and Honeywell Evohome TRVs, which show the current temperature on their display and let you set a new target temperature.

Although you can use a smart thermostat to control your home’s heating, a smart radiator valve allows you to operate the radiators separately. They are a great addition to any central heating system because they allow you to have complete control of any radiator via a smartphone application or even through voice commands and other smart devices. Time controls are devices that allow you to set when your heating comes on and goes off. They can be programmed so that you never forget to turn your heating off (or on). Time controls work alongside your temperature controls. When your time control is on, if the room reaches the set temperature the thermostat will override the time control and turn off your heating. Timeswitches and programmers are both time control devices.
