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

Product Information

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? Standard TRVs commonly have numbers 1-6 - the number 3 is about 20degC - but most people do not know that and turn them up higher. For example some of the Tado TRV adapters are quite large and thus come with pin extenders to enable the TRV to push the valve properly. In the Community Tab and in fact in the comments below my original video you’ll find a wealth of recommendations from everyone on the systems that work for them.

This allows for an enormous amount of fine tuning over a standard system and will lead to a reduced gas bill. People say you can get much cheaper smart plugs elsewhere which you can, but as I’ve just said these are also range extenders. Would having the boiler firing on, and wiser TRVs turning the kitchen/bathroom/bedroom rads off, and just the living room radiater being heated.You may know this already but the room where your ‘wall’ thermostat is should not have radiators with smart thermostats fittedNo idea if it's recommended or not but you can. This is perfect for our small apartment where we can control the living room and bedroom radiators, and have a hallway thermostat as before. Like most of the other brands mentioned here, they are both voice (through Alexa and Google Home) and remote-controlled through an app on your smartphone. Electronic interference from appliances or physical obstruction, such as brick walls, metal frames and floors, can reduce the wireless range.

Pre Drayton I had a thermostat fixed on the wall; it was fairly close to the radiator, so although I had it set to 21-22. It seems no perfect system, all central heating is a compromise, you need to decide what is good enough.

The valve comes with a variety of adapters to make sure it will fit just about any radiator out there and the Zigbee Gateway is included, which will let you get going straight away through Alexa, Google Home or your smartphone. The fear of battery replacement is what may hold a lot of you back from installing smart radiator valves, and a few of you said in the comments how they wish the valves could be hardwired to circumvent the need for batteries. Ref the comments in this post about utilising existing Danfoss TRV bodies, most of my system uses old Danfoss RA's which I have converted to smart using the supplied adapters.

It seemed obvious that individual control of every room was the holy grail but it's been a long time coming. You can set up weekly schedules so, for instance, you can have the heating turned off if you’re out all day at work Monday to Friday, but turn up the heat during the weekend days. I've just bought a Drayton Multizone Smart Thermostat and 5 of their smart TRVs and looking for advice on the best way to set things up so had a few questions. One or two people on my YouTube community platform have said they wish it communicated over wifi, but Drayton kept communication off wifi deliberately because if your wifi goes down, the system keeps functioning.Have been in frequent e-mail contact with Wiser (Schneider) support for over 3 months ref this issue, no real solutions offered, to be fair, I don't really think there is a lot they can do as some Danfoss rad's work and some don't! Insights+ will be able to analyse your heating by reference to the tariff you’re on and tell you exactly how much your heating cost for a particularly period, and even manage EV charging and the electricity saved in your power banks from solar panels and charging directly from the grid during cheaper off peak times. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. My main point there is these are not in my view sufficient for controlling the temperatures of rooms accurately, as with most trv’s their position right by the heat source (radiator) puts them wildly out despite the claim they are calibrated to allow for this. Neither the TRVs, room thermostat or programmer will necessarily help the boiler run more efficiently.
