Compare verdict: An outstanding clever radiator valve

The Worcester Bosch Easy Control Smart TRV is a smart valve that has a pricing point that falls in the middle and is simple to install. It is compatible with an easy-to-use app that comes with an outstanding heating schedule by default. On top of everything else, it is incredibly accurate, which is why we have designated it as a Best Buy.

Advantages

Wonderful mobile applications that are both simple and quick to use
Extremely accurate
Includes a solid default schedule, which, for the majority of users, will need only a few alterations to work properly.
Cons

It’s nothing serious, but the app doesn’t work in landscape mode on mobile devices, which makes it more difficult to read the schedule. You also can’t operate the valve through the website.

Compare  verdict: A wonderful clever radiator valve

This valve does an outstanding job of maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the room, and it is very simple to install and configure. The mobile application is simple to operate, maintains the confidentiality and safety of your data, and comes packed with wonderful features; however, you will need a membership in order to access some of those functions. In general, this is one of the greatest valves that we have tried, and it is without a doubt our pick for the Best Buy.

Pros

The application provides an accurate reading of the current temperature and is simple to operate.
Heating schedules can be easily programmed.
Cons

There are some features that require a paid subscription, but other than that, there are no big changes.
It takes a significant amount of effort and time to disable certain programme functions.

Compare verdict: If you utilise iOS, this is a worthwhile valve to take into consideration.

The Thermo Smart Radiator Valve is able to function independently without a hub, in contrast to the vast majority of other smart valves now available on the market. The fact that there is just a smartphone app available for iOS and Apple HomeKit is, however, a barrier to accessibility. Because it is not possible (at the time this article was written) for Android users to utilise it, it does not qualify for a recommendation from Best Buy despite the fact that it is an excellent valve.

Pros

Excellent iOS app Doesn’t require a hub
Cons
There is now no app available for Android smartphones, and the process of creating a heating plan is not very user-friendly.

Compare verdict: This is a nice valve, but there are a few issues.

Because of the high level of accuracy provided by the Netatmo smart radiator valve, the interior of your home will be heated to the ideal level. The accompanying app contains a number of features that are helpful, but it also has a number of usability concerns. The valve is missing a few standard features as well, such as a kid lock that would prevent younger children from accidentally adjusting the settings.

Pros

The app has a number of helpful temperature adjusting options.
Consistently provides precise temperature readings
There are certain usability concerns with certain aspects of the apps.
Absence of a child lock

Compare verdict: a quality valve with a cumbersome installation process

The Honeywell Home EvoHome Radiator Valve provides precise temperature monitoring of the space it’s installed in. It comes with an app that is simple to use and is packed with a tonne of helpful features that are designed to assist you in saving money and heating your home more effectively. Unfortunately, we had a hard time installing and configuring the valve, and there were a few other problems as well.

Pros

A multitude of traits that are of use
Very precise adjustments made to the temperature
Cons:

It is simple to programme a schedule
a sluggish rate of response
Conceivably difficult to set up
The build quality is noticeably lower than that of other valves.

Compare  verdict: An interesting smart valve configuration

The Salus TRV10RFM is precise, but that is about all it has going for it. It is not like other smart radiator valves in that it does not have a thermostat that is built in. In its place, it obtains the temperature reading from the thermostat in the Salus room. This makes it less versatile than other models, because you can’t set various temperatures for different areas in your house unless you buy multiple thermostats, which can be expensive.

When paired with a Salus thermostat, it does an excellent job of bringing the temperature of a room up to the desired level.
Cons

If you want to zone your heating, you need to install a Salus thermostat in every room.
The app is challenging to use.
There is no indicator on the valve.
