Smart Heating Control for Radiators

Radiator heating represents a universal method of heating that is suitable for almost any space. Radiators heat up quickly, and the warmth from them rapidly heats the room. They are easy to install, and unlike underfloor heating, they are also suitable for upper floors as they do not burden ceilings. On the other hand, the low thermal inertia means they cool down quickly, which can be problematic, especially in the case of an unbalanced heating system. Smart radiator control ensures that heat reaches everywhere it needs to, and when it is needed.

Smart heating can also be applied to:

• underfloor heating
• combined heating (control of underfloor heating and radiators)

Zone Control and Heating Management via the Internet

Smart heating is a simple way to optimize the heating system, minimize heat loss, and reduce energy costs. Savings on heating can reach up to 30% compared to a conventional thermostat or heating without regulation, without changing the temperature in your home or office. It allows for full control of heating in homes, apartments, and both smaller and larger commercial spaces, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Smart heating systems allow individual zone control (rooms) individually, enabling you to set different temperatures for each section at different times. This way, you do not unnecessarily heat rooms you do not need. You can control the heating from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. The applications are in Czech and designed to make mobile heating control intuitive and easy.

The implementation of smart radiator heating is wireless, meaning that individual components are easy to install and, in the event of an appliance replacement, dismantle and reassemble. Communication between individual elements works even in the event of an internet outage, is encrypted, reliable, and secure. Thanks to these features, the system can be expanded at any time with additional smart devices, not only related to heating.

Smart radiator heads also have additional features such as a child lock, open window detection function, and frost protection.

Siemens Connected Home

Siemens Connected Home is a home automation ecosystem that is intuitive to use, easy to combine and install. It also includes smart radiator heating.

• the router allows individual room (zone) control
• allows connection of up to 100 devices, including 32 radiator heads per Zigbee router
• easy installation without construction interventions
• 2 output relays - switching the heat source and DHW simultaneously
• easily add additional components at any time when expanding the system
• without a touch control unit
• smart home control from the Connected Home app
• based on ZigBee 3.0 wireless communication
• indoor range is 60 m, for greater distances it uses signal repeaters
• works even without an internet connection
• compatible with IFTTT and voice control
• use: apartments, houses, guesthouses, hotels, offices, and other commercial buildings
• great value for money 

Danfoss Ally

Danfoss Ally is an intelligent system for radiator heating control.

• allows connection of up to 32 radiator heads
• without switching the heat source
• without a touch control unit
• smart home control from the Danfoss Ally app
• based on ZigBee 3.0 wireless communication
• indoor range is 30 m, for greater distances it uses repeaters
• allows voice control
• open API for connecting third-party products to the Ally app
• use: where there is no requirement to control the heat source (apartments, guesthouses, hotels, offices, and other commercial buildings)

Honeywell Evohome

Honeywell Evohome is a smart system for zone heating, which also includes radiator control.

• touch control unit allows individual control of up to 12 rooms (zones)
• easy installation without construction interventions
• the control unit also serves as a wifi thermostat
• switching the heat source
• without a signal repeater
• for boiler control, an additional ATF500DHW set must be purchased
• smart home control from the Honeywell Evohome app
• indoor range is 30 m, for greater distances it uses repeaters
• compatible with IFTTT and voice control
• use: smaller applications where a large signal range is not needed (apartments, houses, smaller guesthouses, hotels, offices, and other commercial spaces) 

Central Remote Heating Can Also Be Smart

Smart heating heads can be used independently without other smart heating control elements, which is especially useful in the case of remote heating. Wifi heating heads can be controlled individually, for example, by manually setting the temperature directly for each radiator. A more convenient option, which is ideal for heating regulation in larger spaces, is connecting the heads to a central unit (router). This way, you control the entire system zonally and all at once from a mobile app. Radiators then heat your apartment, house, or commercial spaces only when needed, thereby reducing the energy bill. Smart heating heads thus also turn central heating into smart heating.
