Can anybody recommend an electric wall mounted radiator in the UK that can be controlled by Home Assistant? It need to be at least 650 watts. I’d prefer it not to be WiFi.
Electorad’s Digiline Zigbee radiators look promising but I can’t work out if they will work with my existing Sonoff Zigbee gateway…
Thanks in anticipation
If you cannot find a smart radiator, consider a dumb radiator connected to a smart power plug instead. May be cheaper.
I recently bought some Adax Neo rads that might be worth a look.
They support both a cloud and local integration but I went with the cloud approach as I wanted the power consumption readings that I don’t believe are available on the local integration yet.
If you go local then you’ll need to have the rads within bluetooth range of your HA instance for the initial configuration, after which they’ll connect to your home wifi and you can put them wherever they need to be.
quite pleased with the MIll one - Mill Invisible Electric Smart Matter & Wi-Fi Voice & app controlled 600W White Panel heater - it does local & cloud wifi as well as zigbee. I initially set it up for zigbee but realised that the power monitoring is wifi only.
Electrorad’s helpful sales people have pointed me at Purmo/Radson Yali Parada Plus control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT
I don’t know quite what to do with this info yet but I think it looks promising!
Can anybody else comment? I’ve ordered one so I’ll soon find out!
