Drayton Wiser Smart Thermostat Dual Zone Heating and Hot Water Control - Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT

Product Information

Hot water is available on demand independently of the central heating, without having to wait for a water cylinder to heat up.

HubR: 148mm(w) 93mm(h), 31mm(d); Room thermostat: 76mm(w), 76mm(h), 25mm(d); Radiator thermostat: 93mm(h), 51mm(dia)

Zonal heating control on a budget

In addition, each room can have Open Window Detection turned on. This uses an algorithm to detect when a draft is detected, suggesting an open window or door. The heating is then turned off to conserve energy. Wiser allows you to build up your heating system as you go. Add smart plugs and radiator thermostats as required. By creating more independent heating zones, you can optimise your comfort and save energy.

Gravity-fed systems are no longer fitted new and do not comply to current building regulations, therefore homeowners are increasingly opting to replace older gravity-fed systems to either combi or fully-pumped conventional boiler systems. CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAVITY-FED SYSTEMS (non-pumped)Custom Moments can be created, where you set the target temperature that you want. For example, you could set a holiday mode where the heating’s mostly off but give a boost at set times to warm it through. The Wiser Hub can be installed in just 20 minutes using the industry standard wall plate included. Wire into your existing cylinder thermostat for hot water control. The system is suitable for 99% of all UK boilers. These smart radiator thermostats replace the TRVs (thermostatic radiator valves) on your radiator, the type that let you adjust the temperature of the radiator manually. If you don’t have TRVs then you’ll need to bear the cost of changing your current valves to TRVs on top of the cost of the smart heating system. There’s no denying the radiator thermostats are bulkier than TRVs, but we found we didn’t notice them as much as we expected to. There’s also a two-channel kit, which adds hot water control into the mix for conventional boilers. If you have a home with a hot water cylinder, then you need this version. GRAVITY-FED SYSTEMS (conventional systems with vented hot water cylinder and non-pumped central heating)

Smart thermostatic radiator valves are the best way to control the temperature in your home, and they can help save a lot of money, as you only heat the rooms that you need. While most systems are very expensive, the Drayton Wiser system is comparatively cheaper, yet it remains very powerful. Design and installation In residential areas with low water pressure a gravity or gravity/pumped system is usually the best option. Some systems incorporate a pump to help provide greater pressure at the taps. A combi boiler requires good water pressure, so may not be suitable in some residential areas where pressure is low.

You can tap on a room and edit the schedule or access the room settings, where you can view the battery level for the thermostat, rename it and turn Open Window Detection on or off. Editing a schedule was made super-easy as a result of the ‘copy’ feature, which lets you duplicate a schedule with just one tap, rather than having to input it all for each day and on each device. Older systems upgraded with pumps provide better thermostatic control of the central heating and the ability to control it independently of the hot water. Thanks for the detailed response. I havent decommissioned the downstairs thermostat but given its just a dial, I think all it does is set the max temperature rather than dictating when to come on - the Drayton must have taken control in that case as it comes with its own digital thermostat to place in a given room. Consists of a central heating boiler and a separate, pressurised hot water tank fed directly by the cold water mains feed, so the tank heats and stores hot water at mains pressure. From the home screen, you can also view the weather for your location and sunrise and sunset times, too. The cog icon at the top of the home screen provides access to the main Settings menu, from where you can activate smart modes such as Eco and Comfort, and set a temperature for the Away mode.
