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 based on the actual occupancy of the room.
These smart heating technologies offer optimal daily comfort while helping to reduce energy consumption. By combining remote control and automatic management, you enjoy a more comfortable, efficient, and energy-controlled home.
Radiator with 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 based on room occupancy. Thanks to 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 where occupancy varies throughout the day, such as an office, guest room, or playroom.
The advantages of a radiator with a presence detector
An intelligent radiator with a presence detector offers several benefits:
- immediate comfort upon entering the room;
- a reduction in energy consumption thanks to automatic management;
- less manual intervention daily;
- heating adapted to the actual habits of the occupants.
How does a radiator with a presence detector work?
The system continuously analyzes activity in the room to automatically adjust the temperature.
In case of detected absence
The radiator gradually lowers the temperature to limit energy expenses:
- after 20 minutes: decrease by 1 °C in Comfort mode;
- after 40 minutes: decrease by 2 °C;
- after 60 minutes: switch to Eco mode;
- after 72 hours: activation of Frost Protection mode.
In case of 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 movements only. Pets' movements do not trigger the heating, thus avoiding unnecessary activations.
Wi-Fi connected radiator: control your heating remotely
What is a Wi-Fi connected radiator?
A Wi-Fi connected radiator allows you to control your home's temperature remotely from your smartphone using the Bestherm Connect app (available on AppStore & Play Store).
This technology offers precise heating control, wherever you are, to adapt your consumption to your real needs.
The advantages of a connected radiator
Connected radiators are increasingly popular in households thanks to their ease of use and advanced features.
They notably allow:
- adjust the temperature remotely;
- schedule heating periods;
- manage multiple 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 the consumption of your devices in real time (depending on models).
Management by room or group
The app allows you to control each radiator individually or create groups by room:
This simplified management improves comfort while optimizing energy expenses.
Compatibility with voice assistants
Bestherm connected radiators are compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant.
Some examples of voice commands
- "Put the living room radiator in Comfort mode"
- "Set the bedroom radiator to 20 °C"
- "Turn off the office radiator at 10 PM"
Presence detector or connected radiator: which solution to choose?
The radiator with presence detector
This solution is particularly suitable for:
- for rooms occupied occasionally;
- for users seeking maximum simplicity.
The Wi-Fi connected radiator
This technology is ideal for:
- control heating remotely;
- precisely schedule heating periods;
- manage multiple devices simultaneously;
- monitor your energy consumption.
Can the two technologies be combined?
Yes. Some models combine Wi-Fi connectivity with advanced smart features to offer even more efficient and personalized heating.
Conclusion: towards smarter and more economical heating
Smart radiators today combine thermal comfort, energy savings, and ease of use.
Models equipped with a presence detector automatically adjust their operation based on actual room occupancy, while connected radiators offer full heating control via smartphone or voice command.
Choosing the right solution for your home allows you to enjoy optimal comfort while sustainably reducing your energy consumption.
