Drayton Wiser Smart Thermostat Heating Control Heating Only - Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT

Product Information

We also found it was easy to create some basic automations in the app using the Moments feature - such as turning the radiators in the lounge on, while also dimming the map connected to the Wiser smart plug to create a cozy atmosphere of an evening. App

The Wiser 1-channel thermostat kit ideal for combi-boilers. Control your heating more easily with smart technology. HubR: Fixed wiring only, to comply with current IET regulations (BS7671); Room and radiator thermostat: No wiring required This type of system is effectively an upgraded gravity-fed system, where the central heating has been upgraded to be fully pumped, while the hot water remains gravity-fed. This type of upgrade allows separate central heating and hot water timer control, unlike standard gravity-fed systems, due to the addition of motorised valves and a cylinder thermostat. CHARACTERISTICS OF CONVENTIONAL BOILERS (with vented hot water and fully pumped) Timer and thermostat control of the central heating is available independently of the hot water, due to a cylinder thermostat fitted to the hot water cylinder.Requires a three-channel Wiser kit ( Wiser Thermostat Kit 3) – note that you won’t require the third channel, because the hot water control in a combi system is not separate. A two-channel kit is not suitable for a combi system with two heating zones as the second channel in the two-channel kits is only suitable for hot water control in a conventional boiler system (with a separate hot water tank). GRAVITY-FED SYSTEMS (conventional systems with vented hot water cylinder and non-pumped central heating) The Wiser Hub can be installed in just 20 minutes using the industry standard wall plate included. The system is suitable for 99% of all UK boilers.

The Insights tab includes information on how much energy you’ve saved with Eco mode enabled, while also presenting a ‘Heat Report’ that details how long and to what temperature over the past day, week, and month your rooms have been heated. HubR: 148mm(w) 93mm(h), 31mm(d); Room thermostat: 76mm(w), 76mm(h), 25mm(d); Radiator thermostat: 93mm(h), 51mm(dia) Central heating is not available independently of the hot water – water will always be heated when the heating is on whether it’s used or not.Hot water flow depends on the cold water mains pressure, so if this is supply is lost, you will soon lose the hot water supply. Older systems upgraded with pumps provide better thermostatic control of the central heating and the ability to control it independently of the hot water. May be more economical to run for smaller households than other boiler system types according to the Energy Saving Trust. On the 2-channel programmer where you set your schedules, try setting the hot water side to off and the central heating side to on. If only the central heating side comes on and only your radiators get hot, you have independent control and thereby, a fully pumped system. Can provide good pressure in some residential areas where mains water pressure is low, particularly if the water circuit is also upgraded with pumps.

A system that was originally fully gravity-fed that has been upgraded/retrofitted with motorised valves, such that the central heating is now fully pumped - a recommended upgrade if full replacement of an older gravity-fed system is not possible.Hot water can be stored within the cylinder, beneficial for larger households where a lot of hot water is used. If, however, but turning on the central heating side, the hot water also turns on, this would indicate a gravity system. ADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL BOILERS (with vented hot water and fully pumped) Drayton Wiser may be functional, but its plain all-white plastic design certainly isn’t stylish. If you prefer gadgets that make a design statement, this isn’t the smart thermostat for you. The Wiser Hub is the brain of your heating system and allows you to create up to 16 individual heating zones in your home. You can add one thermostat and up to 4 radiator thermostats to each zone.
