Smart WiFi thermostats allow us to control the heating on and off from our smartphone. In addition, these devices are much more precise than analog thermostats when it comes to measuring the temperature of the home. Another very important feature is that we have the possibility of purchasing thermostatic valves to be able to turn the radiators on and off dynamically depending on the operating temperature we have. If at night we are not going to be in the living room, kitchen or a specific room, it is normal to turn off the radiators to save a lot of heating. Do you want to know all the offers we have today so you can save a lot on heating?
Tado and Netatmo are the two most recommended and complete brands. Furthermore, they can be perfectly integrated into our home automation system with Home Assistant natively, either through the Cloud (you need to always have an Internet connection), or through from Apple HomeKIT that does not require an Internet connection because all communication is local.
Offers on Netatmo WiFi thermostats
The Netatmo WiFi smart thermostat is one of our favorites, in fact, it is what we have in our home to control natural gas heating. This thermostat can be installed in different ways, since in addition to the thermostat, we have a relay that will connect via Wi-Fi to our local home network. Depending on how you want to manage the temperature in your home, you can install it like this:
- You install the relay directly connected to the boiler, to power it through the boiler’s motherboard and connect via Wi-Fi. Wirelessly, it will communicate with the thermostat that we can move throughout our home, since it is powered directly by batteries.
- You install the relay in any socket to provide WiFi connectivity, here it is not necessary to touch the boiler. You will install the thermostat to replace the previous thermostat, it is also powered by batteries, although it will remain fixed on the wall.
This equipment integrates with the main voice assistants such as Alexa, it is also compatible with Apple HomeKIT, and thanks to the Netatmo Energy application we will be able to create truly advanced on and off programs. A feature that we value a lot is the integration with Home Assistant, in this case, the Cloud integration does not work very well, but if you do it through Apple HomeKIT the operation is local and perfect. Right now the main thermostat is only on sale on the official Netatmo website:
If you want to control radiators individually, then you have to get the Netatmo thermostatic valves. You will be able to individually control the different rooms, living room, hallways, bathrooms, etc., and all this from the Netatmo application.

A use case that we use daily is that starting at 10:00 p.m. we turn off the heating in the entire house except in the main room and the main bathroom, in this way, it is only necessary to heat two of the fourteen radiators in the house. , so the savings are quite important.
