NéoDom Checklist
Before buying a smart radiator valve
A smart thermostatic radiator valve lets you adapt heating radiator by radiator. Before buying, check the existing valve body, the required adapters and the protocol used.
Key takeaway: a smart valve is not universal. It depends on the radiator, thread, adapters, protocol and sometimes a compatible hub.
Smart valve checklist
Check that the radiator has a thermostatic head that can be replaced.
Identify the required thread or adapter before ordering.
Read the compatibility information shown on the product page.
Check whether the valve uses Zigbee, WiFi or another protocol.
Confirm whether a gateway is required to control the valve.
Plan for batteries and physical access to the valve after installation.
Start with useful rooms first: living room, bedroom or office.
Check available space if the radiator is close to a wall or furniture.
Which rooms should you equip first?
Start with rooms where usage really varies. A home office, bedroom or living room can follow different schedules. Less-used rooms can be handled later.
Daily comfort.
Night temperature.
Variable schedules.

|---|---|---|
| Compatible valve body? | Yes, with an adapter if needed. | Installation impossible. |

NéoDom tip: start with two or three strategic radiators before equipping the whole home.
Discover smart thermostatic radiator valves, read the smart valve guide or browse Zigbee equipment if your model needs a hub.
