Drayton Wiser Smart Thermostat Dual Zone Heating and Hot Water Control - Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT

Product Information

Comfort mode, meanwhile, learns how your home warms up, so the heating can be turned on early to reach your desired temperature by a set time. Wiser allows you to build up your heating system as you go. Add smart plugs and radiator thermostats as required. By creating more independent heating zones, you can optimise your comfort and save energy. With its intuitive user interface, the Wiser Home app makes it easy to adjust your heating and hot water. Set up your app in seconds using simple step-by-step instructions.

Alexa and Google Home support means that you can control your heating using your voice. Alexa recognises individual rooms so that you can adjust the heat automatically, and you can also find out what the temperature is in each room. Now that we’re clear what a combi boiler is, some combi boiler systems have two separate heating zones, controlled by two thermostats. CHARACTERISTICS OF COMBI BOILERS (two heating zones)May be more economical to run for smaller households than other boiler system types according to the Energy Saving Trust.

Smart thermostatic radiator valves are the best way to control the temperature in your home, and they can help save a lot of money, as you only heat the rooms that you need. While most systems are very expensive, the Drayton Wiser system is comparatively cheaper, yet it remains very powerful. Design and installation That’s clever, as you can have a spare room that’s set to keep it just warmed (to prevent condensation) using one schedule; when a guest comes, you can apply a different schedule. It’s slightly more work to do that here than with custom modes on Honeywell Evohome, but I still appreciate the flexibility on offer. Hot water is available on demand independently of the central heating, without having to wait for a water cylinder to heat up. In residential areas with low water pressure a gravity or gravity/pumped system is usually the best option. Some systems incorporate a pump to help provide greater pressure at the taps. This type of system is effectively an upgraded gravity-fed system, where the central heating has been upgraded to be fully pumped, while the hot water remains gravity-fed. This type of upgrade allows separate central heating and hot water timer control, unlike standard gravity-fed systems, due to the addition of motorised valves and a cylinder thermostat.

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 the TRVs make a small humming noise while operating, I found that they were very quiet in operation. Once I was used to them, I could easily sleep while they operated.

Requires a two-channel Wiser kit ( Wiser Thermostat Kit 2 or Wiser Multi-zone Kit 2), to control the central heating via one channel and hot water via the other.Custom Moments can be created, where you set the target temperature that you want. For example, you could set a holiday mode where the heating’s mostly off but give a boost at set times to warm it through.
