ᐅ Changing a heating valve (using an adapter)

Hello,

I have the following issue:
I want to integrate RWE Smart Home into my house, and I started with the thermostats. When they arrived, I realized that our radiators have rather unusual valve connections, and of course, there were no suitable adapters included with the RWE thermostats.

So, I took an original 40mm (1.6 inch) thermostat (Vaillant) along with the new one to the hardware store looking for an adapter. I was told they don’t stock anything like that, as modifications are not allowed to be made by customers themselves!

My question is: as a non-expert, what is the easiest way to install the new thermostats? Should I replace the valves, or are there adapters available after all?

Attached are 2 pictures of the valve and the thermostat.

Thank you very much in advance

That should work. We also had a similar part on the same valves.
