Drayton Wiser Smart Heating Room Thermostat

Product Information

Insights tab provides stats about the number of hours the heating has been switched on and energy saving made through Eco mode 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. These batteries are factory fitted and not designed to be user replaceable. Unauthorised removal of the battery could damage the unit. TRVs

I have a Digistat RF and I have managed to snap one of the clips on the battery holder. Where can I obtain a replacementHowever, it does have an Away Mode. Rather than switching the heating off completely while you’re out, this feature allows you to set a minimum temperature at which you want your home to remain at while away. If the temperature plunges below this threshold, the heating will spring to life – handy, if you're concerned about frozen pipes when you’re not at home. If the valve is a 15, 10 or 8mm angled body then it can be fitted in either flow/return, horizontally or vertically.

Powered by two AA batteries, the smart thermostat can be freestanding on a table or shelf, or mounted on a wall. It has three touch controls on the front. The plus and minus button allow you to adjust the desired temperature of the room, while the middle button boosts the heating in said room by two degrees. The screen automatically goes to sleep after 15 seconds to conserve the battery, but pressing any of the three touch controls will wake it up. The unit is simple to mount on the wall or there’s a stand, the batteries are easy to fit and it’s easy to add to the system like the other devices. The Heat Hub is a rectangular box with two buttons. One button activates the set-up process, while the other starts the whole system heating. LEDs above the buttons glow green when these options are active. The Heat Hub should be screwed to the wall next to your boiler. The square smart thermostat has a two-inch screen that shows the current temperature of the room it’s in, as well as the desired temperature. It also displays the relative humidity and battery level, and features a flame icon to indicate if the heating is switched on. What I always mention reviewing this item is to get any kind of accuracy with this set up (which is vital in my circumstances of course) you need one of these stats for every room, I bought the system believing the radiator valves were sufficient and only one stat was needed for “the most important/main room” my finding was despite the valves apparently being adjusted to allow for being close to the radiators when sensing the room’s temperature it just didn’t work, you got a sort of boom/bust situation. The heating would run, the area by the rad was of course much warmer than the room the valve shut the radiator believing the space was at temperature and it could be 8 degrees off..eventually the radiator would cool, the valve would realise the room was freezing..it would run the boiler/open and so on, essentially the room was never sufficiently warm. I think this is a common criticism of thermostatic valves, I’ve never bothered with them until now/my engineer doesn’t like them. Trv’s might be different in a modern/efficient house -can’t say, maybe try it out? I used my old stats display/with it disconnected as a room thermometer(it’s battery powered) to tell me what was happening in statless areas.

Zonal heating control on a budget

Depending on the fuel type you select during installation will affect how Digistat works with your boiler/heat source - so ensure to select the correct type during installation. Digistat supports the following fuel types: Typically 30M, however building construction and materials may effect this. Signal strength test should be carried out.
