Various smart technologies are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives. They bring us not only comfort and entertainment but also greater security and financial savings. Intelligent heating controlled via the internet or a mobile app offers a range of advantages.
Room thermostats have undergone unprecedented development in recent years – from classic to digital to truly smart ones. What is the difference between them?
Classic thermostats for boilers are usually controlled by a dial or buttons and allow you to set temperatures only manually and permanently.
Digital programmable thermostats can be much better optimized and controlled via a touch screen. In addition to a weekly heating schedule, some of them allow setting temperatures for different rooms separately.
Smart thermostats can work with a range of data from various sensors and weather forecasts. Artificial intelligence considers your preferences for each time of day and each room separately and continuously optimizes the operation of the heating system, significantly reducing heating costs.
WiFi thermostats are smart thermostats that you can connect to your home WiFi and control from anywhere and anytime via the internet or a mobile app.
Manufacturers of wireless thermostats usually offer these devices as a complete set, including all accessories. The set for controlling heating via the internet or smartphone includes:
Besides that, you will only need internet access – both for the thermostat itself and for you and your app on a smartphone or tablet.
For reliable control of a smart thermostat, a prepaid internet is suitable, ensuring that the device works even outside the home WiFi

Honeywell Evohome set for the most efficient heating control.
Smart thermostats for boilers can be controlled directly on-site using the touch screen on the control unit. If you use a smart home system or voice assistant, these options can also be used without any problems.
The most sought-after option, however, is heating control via mobile or the internet, as this method provides you with perfect control over heating and energy consumption, no matter where you are.
Lovers of smart technologies probably don't need much convincing about the advantages of WiFi thermostats. Simple wireless heating control, smart functions, user-friendliness, and worry-free heating operation – all this and much more simply belong in every modern household.
The most important reasons to get a remotely controlled room thermostat are much more practical – heating operation is significantly cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
With a smart thermostat, you can not only set the exact temperature for each room and each time of day separately, but you can also change and optimize all these values anytime with a few clicks on your phone – for example, if you are delayed at work, the thermostat will simply turn on the heating later. You will achieve even better results and higher savings if you install an electronic circulation pump on the heating, such as the Grundfos ALPHA2 with the autoadapt function, which can adjust its performance according to the requirements and changes in the amount of heat.
And what about thermal comfort? This is ensured by a weekly heating schedule, where the temperature in the home will always be exactly as you wish. Wireless thermostats for boilers, of course, also account for irregularities in your schedule, so you can change the preset temperature at any time. With a remotely controlled thermostat, you can, for example, heat your home before returning from vacation or increase the desired temperature if you come home wet or cold.

Smart thermostats have become a hit in recent years, and more and more manufacturers are getting involved in their production. However, if you don't want to compromise, opt for brands with a long-standing tradition, such as Honeywell. Their Evohome smart heating control system is the best on the market in terms of both functionality and quality.
The individual Honeywell Evohome smart heating sets differ mainly in the number of heads or thermostats. The rule is that the more zones and sensors a smart heating system has, the more efficient its operation. For a medium to large family house, a set costing around 15-25,000 CZK will suffice. Average annual heating savings will be around 25%, or roughly 5-15,000 CZK. This means that the return on investment for heating a family house is usually 1-2 years, but no more than 3 years. You can see this in a case study.
Remote heating control is not just a fashion trend but a crucial step towards a economical, ecological, and modern household.
