Imagine a radiator capable of automatically adapting to your needs. The latest models are Wi-Fi connected, allowing you to control the temperature remotely from your smartphone. Others include a presence detector that adjusts the heat according to the room’s actual occupancy.
These smart heating technologies provide optimal everyday comfort while helping reduce energy consumption. By combining remote control with automatic management, you can enjoy a more comfortable, efficient, and energy-conscious home.
Radiator with a presence detector: heating that adapts to your daily life
What is a radiator with a presence detector?
A radiator equipped with a presence detector (PIR) automatically adjusts its temperature according to room occupancy. Using an infrared sensor, it detects movement and adapts the heating to operate only when the room is occupied.
This technology is particularly useful in rooms whose occupancy varies throughout the day, such as an office, guest bedroom, or playroom.
The benefits of a radiator with a presence detector
A smart radiator with a presence detector offers several benefits:
- immediate comfort upon entering the room;
- reduced energy consumption through automatic management;
- fewer manual adjustments on a daily basis;
- heating adapted to the occupants’ actual habits.
How does a radiator with a presence detector work?
The system continuously analyzes activity in the room to automatically adjust the temperature.
When an absence is detected
The radiator gradually lowers the temperature to limit energy costs:
- after 20 minutes: reduces the temperature by 1°C in Comfort mode;
- after 40 minutes: reduces the temperature by 2°C;
- after 60 minutes: switches to Eco mode;
- after 72 hours: activation of Frost Protection mode.
When you return to the room
As soon as movement is detected, the radiator automatically returns to the last programmed heating mode to quickly restore the desired comfort level.
Smart and precise detection
The PIR sensor is designed to detect human movement only. Pets’ movements do not trigger the heating, preventing unnecessary activation.
Wi-Fi connected radiator: control your heating remotely
What is a Wi-Fi connected radiator?
A Wi-Fi connected radiator lets you control your home’s temperature remotely from your smartphone using the Bestherm Connect app (available on the AppStore & Play Store).
This technology provides precise heating control wherever you are, allowing you to adapt your consumption to your actual needs.
The benefits of a connected radiator
Connected radiators are becoming increasingly popular with households thanks to their ease of use and advanced features.
They notably allow you to:
- adjust the temperature remotely;
- schedule heating periods;
- manage several radiators from a single app;
- reduce energy consumption;
- use voice commands via Alexa or Google Assistant.
How does a Wi-Fi connected radiator work?
Remote heating control
From the mobile app, you can:
- turn your radiator on or off;
- adjust the temperature;
- change the operating mode;
- check your appliances’ consumption in real time (depending on the model).
Management by room or group
The app lets you control each radiator individually or create groups based on the rooms in your home:
This simplified management improves comfort while optimizing energy costs.
Compatibility with voice assistants
Bestherm connected radiators are compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant.
A few examples of voice commands
- “Set the living room radiator to Comfort mode”
- “Set the bedroom radiator to 20°C”
- “Turn off the office radiator at 10 p.m.”
Presence sensor or connected radiator: which solution should you choose?
Radiator with a presence sensor
This solution is particularly suitable for:
- for rooms that are only occasionally occupied;
- for users seeking maximum simplicity.
The Wi-Fi-connected radiator
This technology is ideal for:
- control the heating remotely;
- precisely schedule heating periods;
- manage several devices simultaneously;
- monitor your energy consumption.
Can the two technologies be combined?
Yes. Some models combine Wi-Fi connectivity with advanced smart features to provide even more efficient and personalized heating.
Conclusion: towards smarter and more economical heating
Smart radiators now combine thermal comfort, energy savings, and ease of use.
Models equipped with a presence detector automatically adjust their operation according to the actual occupancy of the rooms, while connected radiators offer complete heating control from a smartphone or by voice command.
Choosing the right solution for your home provides optimal comfort while sustainably reducing your energy consumption.
FAQ: Everything you need to know about smart radiators
What is the main advantage of a radiator with a presence detector?
The presence detector automatically adjusts the temperature based on room occupancy.
This intelligent management improves comfort while limiting unnecessary consumption when the room is empty.
Can a Wi-Fi-connected radiator really save energy?
Yes. A Wi-Fi-connected radiator helps reduce energy consumption through more precise heating management.
By heating only when necessary and to the right temperature, you avoid unnecessary energy costs while maintaining an excellent level of everyday comfort.
Can several radiators be controlled from a single app?
Yes. The Bestherm Connect app lets you control all compatible radiators from a single interface.
