Honeywell Home HR924UK evohome Wireless Radiator TRV Heads Multi-Zone Kit for UK, White

Product Information

These monitor a room’s temperature, and will only allow hot water into the radiator (i.e. only allow the radiator to ‘turn on’) if the ambient temperature is low enough. When it comes to the features, one that stands out is Geofencing. Using the location on your phone, it notifies you to turn down the heat when the last person has left or turned it up when a person is expected to arrive. Moreover, the heating can be regulated automatically with the auto-assist skill. However, you won't get the 'smarter' functions or complete heating control that's possible with a smart thermostat and smart radiator valve setup. Smart TRV’s do not work with electric radiators (use smart plugs or get a smart electric heater instead)

And since they are smart, you can naturally use an app, automation rules or voice control to open/close the valve – thus allowing the room to be heated or cooled as required. No company has as much experience in the heating arena as Honeywell, so it’s no surprise that its first smart product offering has been extremely comprehensive. Rather than replacing your basic smart thermostat, the Honeywell Evohome adds room-by-room control through smart TRVs, but also supports underfloor heating and even heat pumps. This latest version supports dual-zone plumbing and can be extended to support hot water systems as well. Note that there are no smart radiator valves to add full zoning, however.

You can adjust the size of the radius around your home, with those living in more rural areas ideally wanting a larger radius, while those in towns and cities are best off using a smaller radius to ensure you’re not triggering the heating when you’re out shopping. This is the set up a lot of homes will have. You can manually set the thermostat temperature, and it will turn the boiler on and off to maintain the temperature of the room it's placed in.

You set the temperature in degrees celsius This is easier to use and more intuitive than the 0-5 scale on TRVs. The one-touch app is easy to configure if your hub is already in place and the whole system can be integrated with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. The Drayton Wiser system has eco-mode, comfort mode and away mode which is what you’d typically expect.This means you can remotely set the thermostat temperature, and it will turn the boiler on and off to maintain the temperature of the room it's placed in.
