Bosch Smart Home Room Thermostat II for Controlling Smart Radiator Thermostats

Product Information

Flexible use: can be mounted on a wall or installed freestanding thanks to wireless mounting and battery power. Using your heating and cooling system will also affect just how much of a saving you make. If you have it running all the time, chances are you'll generate some hefty savings, but if you already use a schedule to adjust the temperature in your home, the savings won't be as significant, but every little helps. Specify in the app or using the operating button on the device that manual settings on the device itself are no longer possible.

There's no option for zonal control through radiator thermostats either, and the plastic design isn't stylish, but it's worth considering for those that already have an Echo or two. However, you won't get the 'smarter' functions or complete heating control that's possible with a smart thermostat and smart radiator valve setup. 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. Could you be left in the cold if your heating breaks down? Not in a smart home! Your radiator thermostats feature a number of protective functions to minimize the risk of a breakdown:Having a dual-purpose system such as this makes a lot of sense, and you get faster, more accurate detection of a door or window being opened. However, if you’re not going to use the alarm part of the system, having a dedicated sensor adds to the overall cost. Simple wall mounting by means of enclosed screws and adhesives. No wiring is necessary because four AAA batteries power the unit. Battery lifetime: up to two years.

This connecting device plugs into your broadband modem and allows your smart heating appliances to be controlled by your smartphone app.It connects to your boiler via a module - or HubSwitch - and uses its own (low energy seeker signal RF) system to connect with the thermostats and radiator heads. It's really clever in doing this. It supports up to 30 rooms and 50 radiators, more than any other system. However, if you don't own a smartphone or don't like using one, you're unlikely to get the full benefit out of a smart radiator valve.

I started with the Indoor Climate Starter Kit, which gets you the Smart Home Controller (the hub), two Radiator Thermostats and a Door/Window sensor, which lets the heating in a room turn off when you have a door or window open.
