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

Product Information

You’ll need a connecting device to go into your modem so your mobile phone can communicate with the smart valves. I don't mean to sound like a d*ck but it's not clear why you've bought the system if technology isn't your thing.

Is there a best room to put the smart thermostat in or should it go on the landing or something like that? Conversely, the main "home" wireless stat is currently set at 19 degrees but indicating an actual temp of 14 degrees, yet the heating doesn't come on.It will have some effect, but modelling it seems quite involved, because it's dynamic - until the 'unheated' room falls to its Setpoint and starts being heated as well. Assuming the room thermostat is in the right place, TRVs can be manually adjusted to reduce the temperatures in individual rooms.

Building on the iconic design of the Drayton TRV4, the Wiser Radiator Thermostat maintains the simplistic style and builds on years of success as a leading TRV manufacturer with a host of additional features. With all the valves set at maximum the house never properly got up to temperature - you just assumed that was the norm and there was nothing you could do about it.

This allows for an enormous amount of fine tuning over a standard system and will lead to a reduced gas bill.

We work from home so mostly we will keep 1 zone to temp all day, while bedrooms only trigger before night time. I’m not sure I’m technical enough to embrace this right now but I’ll be keeping an eye on how Home Assistant develops. first have you checked that the small pin on the valve body is moving freely,you should be able push it down so that the flow stops when released it should pop up again and flow restarts? It needs a Hive smart hub to work (sold separately) but is an easy system to install and get up and running.

I have underfloor heating throughout at home, which responds more slowly than radiators, but still benefit from setting the main rooms to be heated when we use them rather than the whole house being on or off at the same time. If you put the room stat in a room with no smart TRV it is controlling the heating in all the rooms without a smart TRV. Unless you live in a small dwelling, take the plunge, you will not lose money and very likely make savings that eclipse the initial investment in a couple of heating seasons. Having watched Heat Geeks video on why not to zone a heating system I am now wondering (confused) about whether using smart thermostats to zone my home is actually worth it. If the radiator has no TRV it will just keep heating until the boiler is triggered off by the room stat and all smart TRV's have also meet their setpoint temp.

Let’s quickly summarise the experience at the start and I’ll mention the individual components of the system in a bit more detail as I go. Built with multiple sensors for pinpoint accuracy, you'll enjoy seamless room-to-room heating control straight from the app. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Toolstation Ltd, acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers, PayPal Credit is a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. So bedrooms and bathrooms are heated morning and night, kitchen, dining and office/study are on through the day (but office not on at weekends) etc.

I do like the new setup, being able to adjust individual room temps from a phone or tablet is super convenient. Easy to fit, easy to commission and save money too, paying for themselves quickly Great quality smart radiator controls from Drayton who I trust for heating controls having years of central heating experience.
