Product Information

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.

You can also set up heating schedules within the app to change the thermostat temperature throughout the day. In the diagram above, the thermostat is located in the living room. So you could set it to 18°C and also schedule this to change to 20°C between 7pm - 8pm, making it nice and cosy for you in the evening when you settle down in front of the TV. Smart TRVs are smart thermostatic radiator valves, which, in combination with the EasyControl, allow you to control the heating in each individual room to give maximum comfort when and where you want it. The product software updates automatically. All data requested by your product for the updates will be sent in encrypted form. The coordinating and sending of data uses a secure server.

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.A84-1871: The valve adaption process needs to be started on one of the linked Radiator Thermostats.

It’s a fine idea, but the problem is that the system will turn on, say, one bulb in your kitchen and one in your living room, then it will switch and turn on one bulb in the office and the hallway. Unfortunately, the system doesn’t understand rooms and that it should operate groups of bulbs to simulate someone using individual rooms.

Ultimately, it depends what you want smart heating for to decide if it's worth getting. Smart radiator valves offer high levels of control, but that doesn't suit everyone. Smart radiator valve pros Fail-safe protection for reliable operation at all times thanks to protection against frost and calcification, as well as warning when the battery is low and regular testing of the valve function

We reached out to the biggest brands to find out more about support policies, and some are far better than others. Automations are also available and work in a similar way to IFTTT. You set a trigger (a time of day, or something happening such as a door opening), then you can set what you want to happen with an action. Actions are limited: I couldn’t set a Hue bulb to turn on or off, although I could change the temperature on a Radiator Thermostat. The only workaround is to trigger a scenario that you’ve configured to turn on the lights you want. Bosch Smart Home Heating and Radiator Thermostat – Performance
