Heat Genius review: IoT smart home heating system can save you money, will keep you warm – and it’s wireless

October 12, 2015

Heat Genius is a smart, and wireless, remote heating control system for your home. Unlike the smart thermostat systems (Nest, Hive, Tado) Heat Genius creates ‘zones’ in your home, and then allows you to control the temperature of each zone via laptop, smartphone or tablet apps. It measures occupancy and temperature, and should reduce heating costs over time as you heat only the parts of the house that need to be warm, only when they need to be warm.

Physically the Heat Genius system comprises a central wireless hub which communicates with smart TRVs to switch on an off your radiators, as well as wall-mounted movement sensors, and smart plugs as required for connectivity. The hub communicates wirelessly with the other composite parts of the system, and is controlled via an app or web interface. Once the hub is hooked up to the broadband network in your home you can even access the heating system from anywhere that you can get online, too.
