If you have an analog or digital thermostat in your home, the best thing you can do is buy a WiFi smart thermostat since it will allow us greater configurability, in addition, we can easily control it from our smartphone without having to be physically in front of the thermostat. Another very important feature of this type of thermostat is that we can turn on the heating based on a very specific schedule, and not only that, but if we buy thermostatic valves we can turn the heating on and off in the different rooms individually, with the goal of saving a lot of money.
Discounts on WiFi thermostats
Thermostats are one of the most recommended elements if you want to save on heating in your home. This type of device replaces the thermostat you currently have, and will allow us to control it with our mobile phone through very advanced time programming, on demand if we are going to get home, and we can even turn off the heating if we are away from home. home for a long time, and all this remotely without having to be in front of said thermostat. It is highly recommended to buy thermostatic valves to save even more money, as long as in your home you want to have a room without heating for several hours, or you only want to have heating in a room for a few hours of the day and then turn it off.
One of the best WiFi thermostats is the one from Netatmo, we personally have this thermostat and the operation is simply perfect. It will allow us to connect it to Wi-Fi in a really simple way, and with the official application we can make very advanced settings to adapt to our needs. An important aspect is that we have two possible installation configurations for this equipment:
- We have the possibility of connecting the relay directly to the boiler, and it will communicate with the thermostat wirelessly. In this case, we can move the thermostat throughout our house without problems, to place it in a central place where there is a more or less homogeneous temperature.
- We can place the thermostat where we had the previous one and replace it, but in this last way we cannot “move” it throughout our house to check the temperature. The relay also needs to be installed, but this time we can do it to any socket because it will only be responsible for connecting to the Wi-Fi in our home.
Today we can buy this model for about €110, a fairly significant reduction compared to the usual price.
Netatmo also has thermostatic valves for radiators, however, we do not have them on sale on Amazon Prime Day. It is possible that next month when we have Black Friday we will have offers on these types of devices. A very notable aspect of Netatmo is that it has complete integration with Home Assistant, in fact, we can link it locally through Apple HomeKIT so as not to depend on an Internet connection or the manufacturer’s cloud, all management will be completely local .
Another really good alternative for WiFi thermostats is tadoº, one of the best brands we can buy, and it is even cheaper than Netatmo’s. This device has the same characteristics as the Netatmo, it will connect via WiFi, we have a really complete app from where we can manage everything about the thermostat and temperature, and we can also manage it locally very easily with Home Assistant. In this kit we have both the thermostat and some thermostatic valves so that you can manage the heating of your home efficiently.
We also have the possibility of buying a three-valve kit for €150, a very good price because it costs €50 for each valve, something that is normally around €70 approximately.
As you can see, thanks to these offers we have the possibility of saving a lot of money to update the home heating system and prepare for winter.
Control the AC heat pump with this WiFi remote
In the event that you have an AC with a heat pump, today we have the tadoº air conditioning control available on offer, a device that will allow us to turn the AC on and off, perform advanced programming and many more features. A very notable aspect is the price, and we can normally find it for approximately €100, but only today we can buy it for €65, a real bargain.
If you are wondering if it is compatible with Home Assistant, the answer is yes, but do it through the Apple HomeKIT integration because it works locally and is much better than the native cloud-based integration, the latter is not for you. We recommend because it works really badly.
