I made my old radiators smart using Tado° Smart Thermostat

🕸 kitze.io
This is a pretty nice way to automate the heating in the apartment. However, the built-in temperature sensor is always off for a few degrees, so I got external Philips Hue temperature/humidity sensors that are always correct because they're on the opposite side of the room.

Did you have to drain the water from radiator bc I didn’t see any water leaking ?

[@Kitze]

idk it's been so long I don't remember :(

[@thepanta_82]

How are they charged? If you need to swap batteries all the time, that seems like it'll get annoying fast.

[@Kitze]

i've used them in my prev. apartment since 2020 and I still haven't swapped batteries

@@Kitze the valve noise is that loud? Is acceptable for sleeping time or...?

[@Kitze]

@@VasilievFlorin it depends how light of a sleeper you are. I think they should be fine.

You can change the batteries
