Hello,
I am not looking for the simple controllers with the adjustment wheel and the 1-5 scale, but rather ones with a digital display, preferably completely button-free as a touch version.

Can you recommend a model? So far, I have only found very inexpensive ones (around 30 euros), and I assume you cannot expect a decent product at that price.

Thank you very much.

How useful are these individual regulations anyway? Yes, they are legally required. But for underfloor heating? It always takes quite a long time before any noticeable change occurs in the room.

Individual room controls make sense for fast-responding systems such as radiators and buildings with relatively high heat losses.

In the case of underfloor heating and energy-efficient houses, these controls are mostly decorative.

I agree with you. And wall decorations are meant to decorate after all.

Yes, I agree with you... I also hung something nice on my wall... since I only obtained the exemption one year after moving in... now the RTRs no longer serve a purpose, but at least I can always keep an eye on the current temperature...

That’s why I asked what your intention is...

I bought some simple ones for under 20€ each. They have a digital display. They do exactly what they’re supposed to and also look quite good.

Has anyone ever tried to get an exemption from the ERR requirement?
It should be possible by application. The question is whether the hassle is worth it.
