Hey all,
Getting sucked into the world of radiator panels and underfloor heating, and none of it seems simple.
I'm putting radiator panels into 6 rooms, and installing underfloor heating throughout an extension powered by a gas combi boiler. The panels will be fitted with manual thermostatic valves, however ideally I'd like to be able to control these individually via a hub/app. The reason for this is, for example, two of the rooms are used during the weekdays but not at all on the weekend - it would be great to be able to automate these so they heat up only on the days they are being used, and not on the other days to save gas.
From what I understand, a system like Nest allows for whole of house 'smart heating', however not individual zone/room control.
Looking for any suggestions on systems you've seen work well, including smart thermostatic valves/wifi valves, and a central unit that's google home compatible. I'd read about Hive in the UK, but can't find many details around Australian compatibility. I also don't understand what needs to happen on the boiler side - does this require its own smart control unit as well?
Thanks for your help OzB!
Is this hydronic heating?
