The Smart Home radiator thermostat makes it easy to save energy: Thanks to time programs and clever services such as "Sustainable ventilation", you can heat your home just enough to feel comfortable. All the smart radiator valves can communicate with the smart thermostat, meaning you can turn the boiler on and off by changing the settings of any of the heating devices. Out of our three home setups, this gives you the most complete control of your heating. The short answer is yes, but we recommend calling in professional help if you want to convert your regular thermostat into a smart thermostat. This is because the process requires some relatively complex electrical work, which shouldn't be attempted unless you know what you're doing. Based on installing a new A-rated condensing boiler in England, Scotland and Wales with a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic radiator controls (TRVs) in a gas heated detached home from an older G-rated boiler with a programmer and room thermostat. Figures are based on fuel prices as of October2023. Savings will vary depending on the size and thermal performance of your home. Source: Energy Saving Trust. By default, the system is set to do this immediately, but you can change the delay to between zero and 180-seconds. Normally, I’d argue that implementing this feature in software is better, with the thermostats measuring the temperature drop to detect when there’s a window or door open. However, Bosch’s Door/Window sensors can also be used in the alarm, setting off a siren when the alarm is armed.

There's no option for zonal control through radiator thermostats either, and the plastic design isn't stylish, but it's worth considering for those that already have an Echo or two. Many homes already have thermostatic radiator valves (or TRVs for short) on their radiators. They work by detecting the temperature of the room, and turn the radiator on or off depending on whether the room needs heating up or not.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.

You can create zoned heating If you want smart heating where you can control the temperature and whether the heating is on or off in each room, smart radiator valves allow you to do this. The function of a smart radiator valve (or SRV for short) is exactly the same, but with these four key advantages:

Frequently Asked Questions

EasyControl is compatible with Bosch ETRV's, which allow precise temperature control for each room via the EasyControl Smart Radiator Thermostats. We reached out to the biggest brands to find out more about support policies, and some are far better than others. 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. Put the correct adaptor on the valve (most smart radiator valves come with adaptors for the most common valves)

A84-1876: The connection to the appliance has been lost. No communication to the appliance is possible. It's also worth noting here that you can use smart radiator valves without a smart thermostat, but this setup would have the same limitations of wi-fi radiator valves. There’s no Google Assistant skill available at the moment, so you can’t use your Google Home system. There’s currently no IFTTT channel for the Bosch system. Why buy the Bosch Smart Home Heating and Radiator Thermostat?There’s also a scheduled mode. Again, this too is basic. You can set a “Warm phase” and “Cold phase” temperature, and then the schedule lets you choose which periods use each phase. Breakdown warning: Do you want to be on the safe side? You can also create an "IF room temperature <15° THEN send message" automation.
