About this deal

SMARTstands for “Self-Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology”, but what exactly is it that makes a‘smart’ thermostat smart?

For instance, tado°states that itsSMART room thermostat“ will pay for itself within a year” by bringing your overall heating bill down by anywhere between14and26%. A press can change a certain light (or set/room/zone of lights) to a specific scene, then cycle through a handful more scenes with subsequent presses. Or, the Smart Button can be configured to cycle through a set of scenes depending on the time of day, switching from cool, blue light in the morning and daytime, through to warmer, softer and more yellow/orange shades in the evening and through the nighttime. Yes, but only some can. As you may have seen from the above products, some are designed to work only with certain smart lighting systems, like those by Wiz or Philips Hue. Others, however, like the Tapo Smart Switch by TP-Link, are designed to control your existing, non-smart lights. They replace your existing light switches and operate just like a manual switch, but with the added ability to be controlled remotely with a smartphone app, voice assistant, or pre-programmed schedule. But does the fact you can adjust the temperature of your heating from pretty much anywhere really mean that yourthermostat is smart? But, there’s a good chance you already know all there is to know aboutSMART heating controls, and you’ll probably be better versed in it all than I am, so if you have a SMART story to tell leave a comment below and share your experience with our blog readers – I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.There are many different variants of this theme, but from a simple – “ what does a smart thermostat do?” perspective, the Wi-Fi controls, internet connection and smart device connectivity is pretty much the foundation of whatsmart heating controlsare all about. This is a feature we like: If a smart light switch has this feature in its app, it will automatically turn your lights on and off randomly while you're away, to make it look like you're home. Frequently asked questions Do I need an electrician to install a smart light switch? More or less everyone I know wants their home to be warm and cosy when they come in from a long day at work – especially in the colder months – but some central heating systems just can’t be relied upon to guarantee this, so they end up leaving their heating on all day. Which type of switch you buy depends on what you want from your lighting. Do you want color-changing bulbs, or do you just want remote control of your existing bulbs? If it’s the latter, then a smart switch like the Tapo will be perfect for your needs. Are smart light switches hard to install? So if you’re the thrifty sort – and already switch your heating off when you leave home, go out anywhere, or switch it off before you go to bed – the chances are that you won’t save as much withsmart heating controlsas what the manufacturers claim.

With the Lightwave app, you can also create what they call “Magic Buttons” to trigger multiple Lightwave devices with a single press. You can also set up a gentle wake-up call in the morning by automating your lights. The device is available in white metal and is compatible with iOS and Android devices.The Hive Active plug requires either a Hive Active Heating thermostat or Hive Hub, but once you have that, it's simple to set up and use. You can create a schedule (with up to six time slots per day), trigger the plug using the Hive app on your phone, or link it to a Hive switch or sensor.It also works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeKit. As we sell a range ofSMART Thermostats,SMART radiator valves and other SMART heating controls, you could probably forgive us for stating that everyone should upgrade their central heating to feature some form of aSMART heating applianceor another. This type of control features a sensor on the north side of your home that works with another sensor mounted to your boiler, to control the temperature. I hope this guide was useful in helping you choose a smart light switch for your UK or Irish home. Installing a smart light switch UK is an easy way to modernize your home and control lighting with just a tap.

For the seamless look, consider the Kasa Smart Light Switch. It needs a neutral wire for power and to be in range of your home’s 2.4-Ghz network, but once it’s in place, you can use Alexa to dim and schedule your lights. As well as controlling your central heating’s output, someSMART heating controlscan be used to control your hot water too. So with these points in mind, how can you buy the bestSMART thermostat? What do you need to look for to make sure you get the one that’s right for you and for your home?Installation: How easy was it to install the physical switch, and how easy was it to connect to our home network?
