About this deal

Wi-fi radiator valves cannot communicate with a smart thermostat (so they cannot turn your boiler on and off).

A great deal of smart thermostatic radiator valves feature more exceptional controls with the smart radiator valve maintaining heat correctly, contributing to much less warmth thrown away. While they influence the heating, Wireless radiator valves offer you a real statistical number, so you determine the heat used. Thanks to the individual configuration of the week program, any kind of temperature profile with up to 7 switching intervals can be definedHowever before the TRV heads were changed to electronic and the wall thermostat set so it only switched off when it was a warm day, the boiler would cycle on/off with the wall thermostat, so often the living room radiator at 70°C as it cycled on/off, if at 70°C at 9:30 am even when the boiler switched off, there was still heat from the radiator, and found the room at 32°C, due in the main to the hysteresis generated with a wall thermostat switching on/off. It was not 32°C every time, it depended when the boiler last ran. It should be multizone, each zone controlled by a controler thermostat (I plan to use esp32 with tasmota or espHome) that regulates operation of the valves when the temperature goes out of range. 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. The other odd thing as I said there is nothing actually connected to plug/terminal 20. The central heating pump is directly wired to the boiler for some reason. I have a feeling the fitter enjoyed soldering much more than wiring. Put the correct adaptor on the valve (most smart radiator valves come with adaptors for the most common valves)

Now house 2, I moved house and new house had an oil boiler, and when I came to look, there was no thermostat in the main house and the programmer which should have allowed us to select DHW or CH once or twice a day seemed to do same what ever I did, and on investigation found I had to go down steps outside house into the flat underneath main house and plug in or unplug the pump. I realised the problem was three core and earth cable, but only two cores working, so I wanted to control both DHW and CH with two wires only, so I fitted Nest Gen 3, but not because it was a smart device, it was simply as could get all the control I wanted with just 2 wires. turn the boiler on or off remotely with the smart thermostat or changing the setting of a radiator valve Regardless of a smart control mechanism, it can save you cash, and whether its best for your family is determined by your way of life, the method presently influenced in your heating model - and if you like implementing a practical application over utilising a conventional control mechanism.I know as a weather compensated boiler it should in theory say "hey, it's a hot day so I'm not putting the heating on", which it does, sort of, but the problem is the valves - nothing tells them to close on a hot day or when the boiler isn't firing. And the thermostats are pretty pants to be honest - unless they are turned way down, the valves stay open - and so we end up heating the central heating with DHW...
