Touch and Wi-Fi control electric radiator thermostats
30 September 2024
Imagine the convenience of controlling your house electric radiators individually, with an App or touch control.
Taking designer electric radiators to the next level of practicality
For years people have used timers on lights to make their home look occupied when they're away. More recently home music systems like Sonos have made music controllable anywhere in the house from an App. Switching speakers on individually, turning them up or down from a smart phone or tablet - or even the speaker itself. Well now this technology has been coupled with some seriously cool looking electric designer radiators. It means you can control any electric radiator installed with the Wi-Fi thermostat from anywhere in the world, but most likely from the comfort of your armchair!
Designer electric radiators just got a whole lot better
Electric radiators are so much more flexible than a wet central heating system. You can locate them almost anywhere, because all you need is access to power. Now with stunning looks, and Wi-Fi controlled thermostats - their ease of installation, use and responsiveness has taken them to be the radiator of choice for many new homes, home refurbishment projects and extensions.
What are the wider benefits of a Wi-Fi-controlled thermostat?
Having a Wi-Fi-controlled thermostat on your central heating radiator offers several benefits:

4. Integration with Smart Home Systems
Smart Home Ecosystem: Wi-Fi thermostats can integrate with other smart home devices, such as voice assistants (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant), smart lights and security systems, providing a seamless and automated home experience.
Automation: They can work with other sensors and devices to automatically adjust settings based on factors like occupancy, humidity and weather conditions.
5. Monitoring and Maintenance
