Mastering room-by-room heating via two Smart Radiator Thermostats
Two smart radiator thermostats fit to individual radiators and report temperatures back to the Heat Hub so separate schedules run in each room. About the size of a standard UK light switch plate, the Heat Hub mounts on a wallplate and keeps controls neat and unobtrusive.
Fine-grained scheduling keeps living areas comfortable while avoiding wasted heat in unused rooms. If you favour zoned control, adding extra TRVs allows you to extend precise schedules to every radiator as needed.
Does Heat Hub Live Up to the Hype?
A straightforward swap onto a standard wallplate replaces an old programmer and links the TRVs and smart plug to the mobile application. The application compiles heat reports and energy budgets so household consumption becomes visible and actionable.
Clear reporting and simple on-screen controls make routine adjustments quick and obvious. Homeowners who prefer a DIY approach gain a level of data normally reserved for professional installers.
Solving unpredictable bills with Smart Plug and Eco Mode
The included smart plug controls the hot water circuit from the app while Eco Mode and Away Mode alter schedules automatically to reduce waste. The product description states potential savings of up to £575 a year when the system is used with disciplined schedules.
Automated hot water timing and energy-saving modes reduce unnecessary heating and make household budgets more predictable. Remote switching of hot water circuits keeps control in your pocket during longer absences.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will it work with a combi boiler?
A: The kit is designed for conventional boiler systems only, so it will not be compatible with combi boilers; Pro-Tip: confirm your boiler type on the boiler label or with a heating engineer before buying and consult the supplied instructions for guidance.
Q: Can I expand the system to cover more radiators?
A: The description permits adding additional radiator thermostats over time so you can scale room-level control; Pro-Tip: fit TRVs to your highest-priority rooms first and add systematically so you can balance radiators and schedules.
Q: Is the Heat Hub easy to install myself?
A: The Heat Hub installs on a standard wallplate and the instructions recommend swapping out the old controller by unscrewing and screwing in the new hub; Pro-Tip: follow the included guide closely and seek a qualified installer if wiring looks unfamiliar.
🏆 Our Verdict
A sensible fit for households with conventional boilers that want simple, scalable room-level heating control. The low-profile Heat Hub sits flush on the wall like a light switch, keeping hallways tidy while the app surfaces consumption and schedules. Long-term value comes from precise room scheduling and the energy-reporting features that make it easier to lower running costs over time.
