ᐅ Are radiator valves controllable via an app or similar methods?

We have the following problem:

In all rooms, we have radiators with programmable thermostatic valves directly on the radiator. This works well so far.

Now, the problem:

Three radiators are over one meter (about 3 feet) high, and the thermostats are located near the floor at the base of the radiator. This means you can only reach them by lying down on the floor in front of them.

We have set up a cozy lounging area in front of one of these radiators. Because of this, we would like to be able to quickly adjust the radiator temperature manually, but...

Does anyone know if there are radiator valves that can be controlled via Wi-Fi without requiring any permanently installed additional parts?

Any hints would be appreciated.

Hello

How about simply using a thermostat with a window opener.

I imagine it a bit complicated:

Relaxing comfortably on the sofa
Picking up the phone
Opening the app
Finding the right valve
Setting the desired temperature

or
Just grabbing the valve and turning it to 4

No, Olli, from the sofa down to a reclining position in front of the valve, still can’t see what temperature it’s set to -> attempt. Then getting up again. And later doing the whole thing in reverse. Fixed heating times are programmed anyway.

The smartphone version is better if it exists.

Have a look at Conrad for the 'Cube' and eQ-3 MAX thermostat, available in different versions.

RWE also offers such thermometers for smart homes; there are starter kits with multiple devices. You can also find many on platforms like eBay Classifieds.

Good morning

No, of course you’re not supposed to crawl under the sofa.

Valve at the bottom – thermostat and timer on top.
Available from the recognized manufacturers Da... and Hei... in their product range.
